The RoleOwn Developer Experience-a strategic product area that includes some of Pantheon's biggest differentiators: Autopilot, Multidev, and Upstreams. You'll define strategy across this disparate set of products while stewarding expansion into high-impact areas: public API, MCP integrations, and agentic infrastructure.
This is not a role that executes a plan; it co-authors one. You'll serve developers and their teams-from individual contributors to engineering leaders-ensuring they can build, test, collaborate, and deploy with speed and confidence.
What You Need to Succeed- Synthesize a diverse product portfolio into a cohesive strategy that multiplies developer productivity.
- Define the roadmap for emerging areas-public APIs, MCPs, agentic systems-where you'll shape what's possible.
- Understand developer workflows deeply: local development, collaboration, testing, CI/CD integration, and deployment.
- Gather research and competitive intelligence to identify high-leverage opportunities across the platform.
- Define success metrics that connect developer velocity and satisfaction to business outcomes.
- Communicate strategy and progress with clarity to engineering, product, and executive leadership.
What You Bring to the Table- 8+ years of industry experience, including 3+ years managing developer-facing products or platforms.
- Demonstrated ability to manage a broad, complex product portfolio and unify disparate pieces into strategy.
- Deep understanding of developer workflows: Git, CI/CD, testing, collaboration, deployment, and infrastructure.
- Experience shipping integrations or platform APIs; familiarity with emerging technologies (AI agents, MCPs, agentic systems).
- Track record taking products from strategy through launch and iterative improvement.
- Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and navigate organizational complexity.
- Preferred: Experience at a developer platform (GitHub, GitLab, Vercel, Netlify, LaunchDarkly, etc.); hands-on knowledge of WordPress, Drupal, or modern frameworks.
