About the Role
Commerce is looking for a Technical Product Manager to drive the execution and evolution of Catalyst, BigCommerce's next-generation storefront architecture powered by Next.js, React, and the Storefront GraphQL API. Catalyst is the architectural forcing function moving BigCommerce toward a public-API-first, composable commerce platform. You will own execution across several areas and partner with senior product leadership on the overall vision. This role requires comfort with technical decisions, including designing TypeScript SDK APIs, defining GraphQL schema contracts, shaping the developer experience for a Next.js framework, and working on a hosting product built on Cloudflare's edge platform. You need to be as comfortable reading code as you are writing a roadmap.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap for your assigned product lanes and contribute to the broader Catalyst strategy.
- Help define the vision for the product experience through sketches, mockups, prototypes, and written documentation.
- Prioritize the execution path within your areas by making smart trade-offs.
- Define the public API surface for SDKs, including versioning semantics, TypeScript interfaces, and developer-facing contracts.
- Contribute to the modernization of adjacent product areas into native, API-first implementations within the Catalyst framework.
- Help drive the Native Hosting product from alpha through GA.
- Support monetization strategy and product growth drivers for Native Hosting and the broader Catalyst ecosystem.
- Track KPIs and monitor performance against goals.
- Understand and monitor the competitive landscape.
- Build dashboards, living reports, and automations to make metrics self-serve and scale your time.
- Identify potential issues early and help develop contingency plans.
- Ensure APIs, SDKs, and documentation are structured so that AI coding agents can build on the platform effectively.
- Champion developer experience as a primary competitive advantage.
- Help build SDK strategies that ensure consistency while respecting language and framework idioms.
- Design documentation that serves both human developers and AI agents effectively.
- Support a thriving developer community through authentic engagement, technical content, and ecosystem partnerships.
- Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders to keep your engineering team set up for success.
- Help frame cross-team work within a unified narrative.
- Write and publish public documentation and release notes.
- Maintain the Features Doc, Roadmap Doc, and Release Notes for your areas as the single source of truth.
- Write regular initiative-level updates for internal stakeholders.
- Help ensure partner GTM teams are properly enabled with product information, pricing, packaging, and sales enablement materials.
- Build relationships with customers and partners to gather feedback.
- Coordinate cross-team dependencies across Storefront, Checkout, B2B, Makeswift, and Infrastructure teams.
- Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders including Marketing, Business Development, Sales, and Engineering.
Requirements
- Must reside in the United States.
- 3+ years of technical product management experience, with at least 1 year focused on developer platforms, SDKs, APIs, or framework-level products.
- Hands-on fluency with modern front-end web technology: TypeScript, React, Next.js (App Router, RSC, streaming), and Node.js.
- Solid understanding of GraphQL API design — schema modeling, query patterns, and the tradeoffs of exposing platform capabilities through a public API surface.
- Familiarity with edge computing platforms, serverless architecture, or infrastructure products — ideally Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, KV, and R2.
- Experience contributing to complex, multi-team technical initiatives from concept through execution.
- A pragmatic, iterative approach to execution.
- Comfort operating at the intersection of engineering, design, and go-to-market.
- Excellent written communication. Concise, precise, and high-signal.
