Role
Who you are
- Product management experience owning developer-facing products from discovery through launch (for example, B2B SaaS, developer platforms, or tooling)
- Strong technical foundation, including hands-on software development experience and comfort working day-to-day in the command line
- Familiarity with the AI coding assistant landscape, integrated developer workflows, and how modern developer tools are evaluated and adopted, including competitive offerings in this space
- Experience defining product strategy, shaping roadmaps, and partnering closely with engineering to ship high-quality CLI-first experiences (for example, AI agent workflows or AI-assisted development on the command line)
- Openness to learning and iteration, with a self-directed approach to staying current on developer tooling trends and the fast-moving AI ecosystem
What the job involves
- As the Staff Product Manager for AI Developer Tools, you'll lead the strategy and roadmap for how developers use GitLab Duo where they already work, on the command line and in their IDE
- You'll be building on GitLab's CLI vision of supporting developers across key workflows: configuration management, contribution (issues, merge requests, and pipelines), automation of repetitive tasks, and flexibility for diverse engineering practices
- Your focus is bringing AI-native experiences to these workflows through the CLI and IDE extensions
- Define and drive product strategy for GitLab's AI Developer Tools, with a focus on command line interface (CLI) experiences and IDE extensions that fit naturally into developers' daily workflows
- Partner closely with engineering, design, and cross-functional stakeholders to translate developer needs into clear problem statements, prioritized roadmaps, and shippable increments
- Own the roadmap and execution for the CLI as a primary deliverable, making tradeoffs that balance developer experience, product quality, and iterative delivery
- Lead discovery with real software developers (including hands-on testing of workflows) to validate usability, measure impact, and continuously improve end-to-end experiences on the command line and in the IDE
- Coordinate launches and ongoing iteration for new capabilities, aligning release readiness across product, engineering, and go-to-market partners as needed
- Stay current on the AI coding assistant landscape and developer tool expectations, using competitive and market insights to inform product decisions without losing focus on GitLab's differentiated platform approach
- Contribute as a senior individual contributor on the AI Product team, collaborating with a close-knit group of teammates and reporting to the Vice President of Product for AI
Our take
GitLab is an open-source collaboration platform for developers. It enables teams to build code quickly from anywhere without compromising on security or quality. GitLab already has an estimated 30M+ users from all over the world.
According to a 2021 GitLab report, 60% of developers can release code 2x faster with DevOps platforms that bring teams together and accelerate processes. It stands out by catering to programmers of all experiences. Gitlab's version control system helps streamline the process of creating, maintaining, and deploying code, whoever you are.
GitLab was in the right place to capitalise on the recent trend toward rapid digital transformation and remote working. This trend is expected to grow, and with it, GitLab's popularity. With its successful 2021 IPO and the patronage of major brands such as Nasdaq and Jaguar Land Rover, GitLab is expected to solidify its position as the go-to platform for development teams.
