Lead Product Manager - AI Developer Platform
About The Position
Scribd is building an agentic engineering stack, and this role is a foundational hire to lead the company's agentic transformation with the developer platform as the center of gravity. The Lead Product Manager will help define the agentic engineering stack and shape the evolution of the developer and agentic experience at Scribd. This role will extend this thinking outward to partner with other functions (Product, Design & Research, Data & Analytics, TPM) to redesign their work around AI agents and guide the internal app and agent platforms. The product manager will work closely with developers and engineering teams to understand their workflows, identify friction points, and define the future of their experience. Key responsibilities include leading product strategy for developer experience, defining metrics for success, and driving adoption of AI tools thoughtfully to enhance capability and confidence in outputs. This role reports to the Director, Developer Platform and collaborates closely with Engineering and Product leadership.
Requirements
- 7+ years of product management experience.
- Notable focus owning developer tooling, AI platforms, or internal productivity tools.
- Demonstrated success owning ambiguous, cross-functional product surfaces end-to-end, defining strategy, sequencing work, and shipping with engineering partners without a pre-existing playbook.
- Hands-on experience shipping real products on modern AI/LLM primitives (prompting, evals, tool use, agentic workflows, MCP, plugin or skill ecosystems, or comparable concepts).
- Strong technical fluency to engage with engineers on system design, API tradeoffs, evaluation methodology, and agent architectures.
- Track record of being a trusted technical-strategy partner to engineering leadership, with influence at the architecture and roadmap horizon.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Comfort working in conditions where priorities, scope, and ownership are still being defined.
Nice To Haves
- Background includes engineering, technical program management, or applied AI work in addition to product management.
- Shipped production code at some point in career.
- Experience as a PM, technical lead, or founder building internal-facing developer tools, AI platforms, or productivity products at scale.
- Direct experience with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or other agentic coding environments as a power user, enabler, or builder.
- Familiarity with the operating realities of a multi-product subscription business and a software stack that spans Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python, and the AWS/Databricks ecosystem.
- Prior experience standing up a new function or a new PM role in an organization.
Responsibilities
- Own the unified agentic enablement roadmap, integrating AI workstreams across Engineering, Product, Design & Research, Data & Analytics, and TPM.
- Define and drive the product strategy for the internal app and agent platforms, including the internal app platform, plugin marketplace, and agent runtime, ensuring they meet functional needs.
- Partner with Developer Platform and Data Platform engineering teams to build underlying capabilities.
- Translate between functions and the platform by understanding workflows, defining requirements, and communicating platform capabilities.
- Drive cross-functional commitments to closure for shared infrastructure like canonical context, evaluation practice, plugin marketplace, and internal app platform.
- Make agentic enablement legible to the company by defining and reporting on key metrics (adoption, throughput, time recovered, evaluation quality, impact).
- Build the narrative to gain buy-in from every function.
- Partner on go-to-market strategies for internal users, including rollouts, education, and feedback loops.
- Treat internal rollouts with the same rigor as external launches.
