About the Role
As a Senior Product Manager on Platform Core Engineering (PCE), you will own a platform product area, focusing on building foundational systems, frameworks, and tooling for Twitch's engineers. Your success will be measured by developer adoption and advocacy, requiring a deep technical understanding and the ability to earn developer trust.
Responsibilities
- Own the strategy and roadmap for a PCE platform area, balancing near-term developer needs with a 1 to 2 year technical vision.
- Treat developers as your customers: understand their workflows, earn their trust, and prioritize capabilities that make them faster and more effective.
- Work directly with Senior Engineering Managers and Principal Engineers to define technical and organizational needs and build a cohesive platform ecosystem.
- Define and drive the platform metrics that matter.
- Drive alignment across dependent teams, resolve competing priorities, and communicate technical tradeoffs.
- Own launches end-to-end, including migration paths, documentation, and adoption, so capabilities land and stick.
- Partner with tooling customers across engineering, ML infrastructure, MLOps, and data science to ensure the platform serves every developer persona.
- Champion hands-on use of modern AI development tools, setting the bar for how the org builds with agents, MCPs, and context tooling.
Requirements
- 5+ years of product management experience, with a strong technical foundation.
- Hands-on fluency with modern AI development tools and a habit of building with them.
- A working understanding of how modern AI tools work and fit together (agents, MCPs, context, and tooling) and why they matter for developer products.
- A track record building developer-facing or platform products where earning and keeping developer trust was the difference between adoption and failure.
- Strong analytical skills and strong written and verbal communication, with precise articulation of technical customer problems and tradeoffs.
- Demonstrated ability to operate independently and navigate ambiguity.
