About The Position

We're looking for a Principal Product Manager who thinks like an engineer, advocates for developers, and builds like a founder — to reshape Procore's development platform for the AI era. In this role you'll shape the future of Procore's development platform by treating our 1,000+ internal developers as your customers, and the developer platform as your product. You'll own the developer platform roadmap. You'll know our developers better than anyone — what they're building, where they stall, what they've stopped bothering to ask for — and you'll turn that into a point of view sharp enough to change what gets built across Procore. And you'll build it for a second customer almost nobody has designed for yet: the thousands of agents those developers are running. Human in the loop, not human in the driver's seat. That's what makes this rare. Most platform PMs are optimizing a portal. You'll be designing the interface between an engineering organization and its agents — at the exact moment that interface is being invented. Get it right and 1,000 engineers feel it every single day.

Requirements

8+ years of experience building infrastructure, platform, or developer tools at SaaS scale, with a proven track record of building a platform that was adopted and utilized.
Previous experience as an engineer, architect, SRE, or in DevRel.
Hands-on expertise across the modern technology stack including Kubernetes, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD, GitOps, and secrets management.
Deep understanding of observability tools and practices, including OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics and logging pipelines, and associated aggregators.
A history of publicly sharing opinions and decisions, with evidence of their impact and adoption.
Active involvement in external communities such as CNCF and platform-engineering groups.
Understanding of how agentic development impacts platform requirements.
Ability to collaborate with senior engineers to understand their architectures and co-create solutions.
Experience working in an Austin, TX office.

Responsibilities

Define and build golden paths for development, testing, and deployment that are consistent across languages like Ruby or Go.
Ensure preview environments function seamlessly.
Create pipelines that developers do not want to escape.
Develop infrastructure that responds within minutes, allowing developers to declare needs that are resolved within policy envelopes.
Transform provisioning from a request process to a capability engineers can call.
Implement security, compliance, and cost management as integrated platform features rather than additional burdens, using policy as code and automated remediation.
Ensure all services are born instrumented and attributed, with dashboards, alerts, visible spend, and telemetry that agents can utilize.
Design and build an agent-native platform with typed, discoverable capabilities accessible by both humans and agents through the same interfaces and audit trails.
Establish the platform's point of view and direction, creating a standard for how development is done at the company that engineers will want to use.
