Senior Product Manager – UI/UX, PLG & Activation

Airbyte • San Francisco, CA

3d • Onsite

About The Position

Airbyte is the open‑source standard for data movement. We've enabled data teams to move data from applications, APIs, unstructured sources and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and AI applications. With tens of thousands of connectors built and hundreds of thousands of companies adopting Airbyte, we've proven the economics of data integration at scale. And now Airbyte is building the frontier agentic data infrastructure, purpose-built for AI agents that need fast, accurate access to data across hundreds of sources. Our mission: make data available and actionable, everywhere.
We've raised $181M from the world's top investors (Benchmark, Accel, Altimeter, Coatue, Y Combinator, etc.) and we believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome that all our users love. We’ve raised enough capital to explore boldly, but we still choose to move quickly, stay scrappy, and experiment constantly as we find the right paths in an AI-native landscape.
The Role:
Airbyte is becoming the standard for agentic data infrastructure. We have the connector factory, a strong presence in pure data use cases, and the foundation of our new product, ADP, which connects agents to all the pieces of data that exist within a company.
This role exists to turn product usage into momentum. You will own the journey from:
First visit
First workspace
First connector
First Agent
Aha moment
And expansion beyond that

Your mission: Increase activation. Reduce friction. Compound product-led growth.
