Technical Product Manager - Linux Developer Experience
About The Position
We're seeking a Technical Product Manager to join our team responsible for shaping and evolving the developer experience on our firm's developer platform. In this pivotal role, you'll serve as the primary liaison between the platform engineering team and our developer community — including quantitative analysts, researchers, and front-office trading teams — ensuring the platform meets their complex development needs and continuously improves. About the Team The Developer Platform team architects, engineers, and enhances the firm's developer’s toolchain and workflow. We collaborate closely with developers, quants, researchers, and front-office trading teams to ensure our platform provides a best-in-class development experience with the feel of native Mac/UNIX-like development. This role sits at the intersection of product management and technical enablement, acting as the voice of the developer within the platform team.
Requirements
- Demonstrated experience in Technical Product Management, Technical Project Management, or Developer Relations/Developer Experience roles
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — ability to engage credibly with both highly technical developers and senior leadership
- Working familiarity with Linux desktop environments — comfortable navigating the platform, understanding developer workflows, and answering environment/tooling questions (you don't need to be a sysadmin, but you should be conversant)
- Conceptual understanding of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Podman, Kubernetes) and how developers leverage these tools in their workflows
- Familiarity with CI/CD concepts and tools (e.g., Jenkins, Git) — enough to understand developer pipelines and identify friction points
- Problem reproduction and triage skills — ability to recreate reported issues in the environment and clearly document/escalate to engineering with relevant context
- Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., LLM-based assistants, copilots) to assist in problem diagnosis, research, and knowledge synthesis
- Basic scripting literacy (Bash, Python) — enough to read, understand, and run existing scripts; not necessarily write complex automation from scratch
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with serverless compute concepts and cloud-native development paradigms
- Exposure to configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible) and image lifecycle management (e.g., Hashicorp Packer) — understanding what they do and how they fit into the platform, rather than hands-on administration
- Awareness of monitoring and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack) from a user/consumer perspective
- Understanding of authentication and identity management concepts (e.g., Active Directory integration) as they relate to developer access and workflows
- Experience with agile project management methodologies and tools (Jira, Confluence, or similar)
- Strong communication skills working with engineering leadership, developer community, and stakeholders
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain relationships with technologists and developers across the firm to deeply understand their workflows, pain points, and emerging needs
- Discover novel use cases and translate them into actionable product requirements for the platform engineering team
- Serve as the first point of contact for developer questions about the platform's environment, tooling, and capabilities
- Triage and reproduce issues reported by developers, driving initial diagnosis — including leveraging AI-assisted sessions for problem analysis — and escalating to the deeper technical engineering team when necessary
- Drive the roadmap and prioritization of platform enhancements in collaboration with engineering leadership
- Promote and evangelize the Linux developer platform , driving adoption and ensuring developers are aware of available features and best practices
- Manage project timelines, stakeholder communication, and delivery milestones for platform initiatives
