Principal Product Manager - Developer Platform
PagerDuty
PagerDuty is seeking a Principal Product Manager - Developer Platform to join our diverse, customer-focused team in leading the industry’s transformation to fully automated operations! Our vision: a world where AI-augmented software developers build and ship applications 10x faster, and those applications run reliably and autonomously in production. When the unexpected happens, AI agents and automated remediation will resolve most issues—so human teams can focus on innovation, not firefighting.
In this role, you’ll guide the evolution of our API and developer experience empowering internal teams, customers and partners to build integrations with PagerDuty. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between understanding the burning problems of product development teams and API-first platform principles. You’ll also work closely with our AI team to align our API and MCP platforms, access control, and monetization strategy.
You’ll also lead innovation of our platform with deeper integration of PagerDuty into the SDLC and specifically the developer experience. You’ll engage with developers to understand how they want to use PagerDuty within the tools they use every day including IDPs (e.g. Backstage), IDEs, chat tools, project management systems, and more. You’ll play a key technical product leadership role to deliver strategic integrations into developer tools.
You're equally comfortable discussing both the merits of an API structure and also the business case for integration with a potential platform customer. You can readily understand 3rd-party platform elements (ServiceNow, Atlassian, Salesforce, etc.) and define integrations that are valuable, feasible, usable, and viable.
Important note: While this role is posted as remote, candidates who are located near one of our hub locations (San Francisco, Atlanta, or Toronto) will be given preference.
