Staff Product Manager, Developer Experience

• Own the developer experience roadmap across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension — from near-term iteration to long-term vision.
• Partner deeply with the Fusion team to align on capabilities, surface Fusion-powered intelligence (SQL comprehension, compute, context) through developer-facing UX, and co-define the boundary between platform and product.
• Lead AI-native product development for Developer Agent — defining what a best-in-class AI coding assistant looks like for the full spectrum of dbt users, from expert analytics engineers to practitioners who are newer to code. This includes agentic workflows, context-aware suggestions, natural language interactions, and guided development experiences that meet users where they are.
• Drive IDE and tooling strategy informed by a deep understanding of modern development environments — think about what VS Code, Cursor, and other leading IDEs get right, and translate those instincts to the dbt Cloud context.
• Define and execute cross-functional collaboration with engineering, design, and GTM teams to ship high-quality developer experiences on a predictable cadence.
• Build tight feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers to continuously improve developer tools, with particular attention to power users and technical practitioners.
• Conduct market and user research to understand the competitive landscape for developer tooling and AI-assisted development, and bring sharp external perspective into the roadmap.
• Align developer experience investments to broader company goals, product-led growth metrics, and the Fusion platform strategy.

• Developer satisfaction and engagement metrics (activation, session depth, feature adoption) trending up across Studio, Canvas, CLI, and Developer Agent.
• Developer Agent is a differentiated, well-regarded AI coding experience for data practitioners — not just a feature, but a product.
• The Studio IDE and Canvas deliver a cohesive, fast, and intelligent development workflow powered by Fusion capabilities.
• Strong, trust-based execution partnership with the Fusion team: shared roadmap visibility, clear API contracts, and coordinated shipping.
• The Cloud CLI is a first-class product that developers actively choose, not a fallback.

• 5+ years of product management experience , with meaningful time spent on developer tools, IDEs, or technical platforms.
• Direct experience managing IDE or developer environment products — you have an informed point of view on what makes development tools excellent and where modern IDEs fall short.
• Demonstrated engagement with AI-powered development tools — you've used, studied, and formed strong opinions about AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Devin, etc.) and how they change the development experience.
• A strong technical foundation that allows you to work fluently with engineering partners, reason about system architecture, and contribute meaningfully to technical decisions.
• Experience conducting user research and translating developer feedback into prioritized, scoped product work.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write a crisp spec, give a compelling demo, and synthesize complex tradeoffs for diverse audiences.
• Comfort working asynchronously as part of a distributed, remote team.

• Hands-on experience with dbt or similar SQL-first transformation frameworks.
• Prior experience building or shipping AI agent features (agentic UX, multi-step LLM workflows, context management).
• Familiarity with LSP (Language Server Protocol), tree-sitter, or other IDE infrastructure primitives.
• Experience with CLI tooling and developer workflow automation.
• Background in open source software development or strong engagement with developer communities.
• Knowledge of modern data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift, etc.) and the analytics engineering ecosystem.
