Problem-first thinking: You understand problems deeply before jumping to solutions. You bring the team along on the journey—sharing context, inviting input, and building shared understanding before arriving at a solution
Outcomes orientation: You define success in terms of measurable impact, not activities or deliverables. You ask 'How will we know it worked?' before building
Cross-functional partnership: You collaborate effectively with engineering, design, and other product teams. You work well asynchronously and respect people's time
Data-informed decision making: You use data to inform product decisions and measure impact—but you know when data is insufficient and judgment is required
Technical credibility: You can hold your own in conversations with engineers about architecture, tradeoffs, and implementation approaches
AI fluency: You actively use AI tools in your own work and stay current on how AI is changing software development. You can separate signal from hype and focus on what actually improves developer outcomes
Clear communication: You write and speak with precision. You prefer outcomes over activities, and direct feedback over hedging
Preferred
An engineering background or experience building software yourself. This gives you credibility with engineering teams and helps you understand their world
Experience with developer productivity tools, build systems, or CI/CD pipelines—either as a PM or as a user
Comfort with ambiguity. Internal platform work often lacks the clear market signals of customer-facing products. You'll need to define success criteria and prioritize without perfect information
Experience thoughtfully applying Generative AI to improve developer workflows—not just hype, but real impact on efficiency or quality
Familiarity with how the Internet works (layers 2–7). If not, be prepared to speak with depth about another domain of similar complexity
