About The Position

Paradigm is a software company transforming the way that the residential, construction & building product industries operate across the globe. We are looking for a Principal Product Manager – Data Plane and Integrations to be part of revolutionizing these industries. We are building the future of how homes are designed, estimated, and built by revolutionizing construction workflows with modern software engineering, agent-assisted systems, and mobile-first experiences. We are powered by our parent company, Builders FirstSource (NYSE: BLDR): a Fortune 300 company with over $23 billion in revenue and more than 29,000 employees across 550+ locations, BFS is redefining construction through data, digital infrastructure, and AI-powered innovation. We’re hiring a Principal Product Manager to own the backend architecture, data plane, and integration layer of our core quoting and ordering platform, the system at the heart of how BFS does business. This is a high-impact, technically demanding role where you’ll define how data flows across systems, how third-party integrations scale, and how search and retrieval capabilities evolve to serve thousands of users.

Requirements

12+ years of experience in Product Management, with at least 3 years owning backend platforms, data infrastructure, or integration-heavy products.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or equivalent practical experience.
Strong technical fluency. Comfortable discussing API design, data modeling, search architectures, and system integration patterns with engineering teams at a detailed level.
Deep business acumen and market insight with the ability to anticipate trends, assess opportunities and risks, and shape product direction.
Exceptional communication and executive-influence skills, with the ability to simplify complex technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders and shape decisions at the VP/SVP level.
Proven ability to create clarity in ambiguous, cross-organizational environments, setting direction where none exists and guiding teams through large-scale platform changes.
Deep experience with systems thinking: able to diagnose how changes in one part of a complex ecosystem affect others, and design solutions that hold up long-term.
Strong cross-functional influence skills, with the ability to build trusted, strategic partnerships across departments and act as a thought partner to engineering, design, operations, sales, and executive leadership.

Nice To Haves

Experience in construction technology, building products, manufacturing, or supply chain/distribution industries.
Familiarity with ERP systems, order management platforms, or quoting/CPQ tools in B2B environments.
Experience building or scaling developer-facing platforms, APIs, or integration ecosystems.

Responsibilities

Own the product strategy and multi-year roadmap for the backend of the quoting and ordering platform, including the data plane that connects to multiple upstream and downstream applications.
Identify and resolve systemic constraints in how data flows between various systems and the quoting platform, reducing friction for users.
Shape investment decisions and multi-year technical bets that improve platform throughput, reduce order errors, and accelerate quote-to-order cycle times.
Define how platform data is surfaced to users through search and retrieval capabilities, ensuring associates and builders can quickly and accurately find products, SKUs, pricing, and order history across BFS's catalog and system complexity.
Build and scale a durable integration framework that makes it easy for third-party systems (supplier portals, builder tools, design software) to connect to the platform.
Define API strategy, partner onboarding patterns, and data contracts that enable reliable, low-maintenance integrations at enterprise scale.
Prioritize integration investments based on business impact, reducing manual workarounds, accelerating partner onboarding, and improving data accuracy across the ecosystem.
Influence VP- and SVP-level decisions through clear, data-backed narratives that connect platform investments to business outcomes (order accuracy, speed, cost, customer satisfaction).
Lead cross-team alignment for complex, ambiguous initiatives that span engineering, operations, sales, and supply chain, establishing shared priorities and resolving trade-offs.
Serve as a trusted technical and strategic thought partner to engineering, design, operations, and business leadership beyond your immediate product domain.
Mentor Senior and Staff PMs on product judgment, technical depth, and strategic thinking in platform and infrastructure contexts.
Maintain deep awareness of industry trends in construction technology, building product distribution, and enterprise platform architecture to inform strategic direction.
