Staff Product Manager (Developer tools) at Workato

Workato is the leading Control and Execution Platform for Enterprise AI, trusted by enterprises to orchestrate business processes at scale. We are seeking a strategic Staff Product Manager to lead our developer-facing products for LLM and Agentic applications. This role will define the platform strategy, make hard tradeoffs, and build a product that developers choose in a competitive market.

Responsibilities

• Define and champion the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for Workato's AI and LLM-focused developer products.
• Partner closely with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to deliver exceptional AI products and drive go-to-market success.
• Build deep insights into developer workflows, needs, and pain points through direct customer engagement, user research, and community feedback.
• Transform developer insights and business requirements into actionable PRDs, user stories, and technical specifications.
• Own the product backlog and feature prioritization, making data-driven decisions that balance immediate developer needs with long-term platform vision.
• Lead competitive intelligence and market analysis to identify emerging trends and ensure Workato stays ahead in AI developer tooling.
• Champion the product vision both internally and externally, engaging with developer communities, conferences, and key technical stakeholders.
• Establish and monitor key product metrics including developer satisfaction, API adoption, and platform engagement to drive continuous improvement.
• Drive developer adoption metrics and optimize onboarding experiences to reduce time-to-first-value.

Requirements

• Qualifications / Experience / Technical Skills

  • 7+ years in product management, including owning a developer-facing product or platform end-to-end-from defining the vision to shipping and iterating.
  • Strong product instincts for developer platforms, with a clear point of view on what differentiates winning products (DX, capabilities, ecosystem, distribution).
  • Experience driving adoption with external developers, including improving key stages of the funnel: discover, try, activate, scale.
  • Hands-on experience building or managing APIs, SDKs, CLIs, or extensibility frameworks, with an understanding of how these impact real developer workflows.
  • Demonstrated developer empathy, grounded in observing and improving real workflows (e.g., working with APIs, CI/CD, logs, IDEs).
  • Comfortable going deep with engineering on system design and tradeoffs, including constraints, scalability, and abstraction decisions.
  • Familiarity with modern AI/LLM or agent-based development workflows (e.g., orchestration, prompt iteration, evaluation, observability).
  • Awareness of how developer workflows are evolving (AI copilots, APIs-first development, faster iteration cycles), with a perspective on where things are headed.

• Nice to Have

  • Hands-on experience building or using LLM-powered applications and familiarity with AI frameworks like LangChain, LlamaIndex, or similar.
  • Experience with integration, automation, or MLOps platforms.
  • Active participation in developer communities through writing, speaking, or open-source contributions.

• Soft Skills / Personal Characteristics

  • You are a strategic thinker who can connect technology with business impact and craft a compelling product narrative.
  • You have excellent leadership and communication skills, with the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams.
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and rapid iteration, thriving in fast-paced, innovative environments.
