About The Position

BlackRock is seeking a Product Manager to define and drive the evolution of the Aladdin developer platform as the foundation of a modern software factory for human developers and AI agents. The role owns product strategy, vision, roadmap, adoption, and measurable outcomes, partnering closely with engineering to address developer needs and enable agent-driven workflows. The position requires technical understanding of the end-to-end Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), particularly CI/CD and modern software delivery practices. The Product Manager will evolve workflows, automation, and platform capabilities across development, testing, release, deployment, and operations, with appropriate human oversight and production controls. The goal is to simplify software delivery, remove friction, and help Aladdin teams deliver faster, more predictably, and with high quality, supporting an ambition to increase the velocity of change by 10x. The role combines developer insight, engineering strategy, and Aladdin’s commercial priorities to determine platform direction and solve the most important problems. BlackRock’s hybrid model requires employees to work in the office at least four days per week, with the flexibility to work from home one day per week; some business groups may require more in-office time.
