About the Role
As a Staff Product Manager for AI Management at Kong, you will own the product direction for our fastest-growing agentic AI portfolio, including our flagship AI Gateway. You will bridge high-impact technical innovation with enterprise runtime governance, context management, and developer platform experience to turn APIs and AI connectivity into an organizational innovation factory.
Responsibilities
- Architect and execute the product vision and roadmap for AI Management modules, driving core capabilities around agentic harnesses, LLM routing, policies, context, guardrails, and evaluation.
- Lead cross-departmental strategy as a multiplier across engineering, design, product marketing, and executive leadership to align shared roadmaps without operational friction.
- Own the full lifecycle of your product modules by writing precise specs, prioritizing backlogs, and balancing new feature delivery against technical debt and platform dependencies.
- Drive cross-product work connecting AI Management to Kong’s core platform infrastructure, enabling seamless data plane and control plane integration.
- Speed up the clock on high-velocity delivery cadences in close partnership with engineering leads to scope work, navigate trade-offs, and accelerate time to market.
- Support regional field activities, customer-facing technical engagements, and sales enablement to validate product-market fit and ensure developer delight.
Requirements
- 7-10 years of technical product management experience owning and shipping technical products in developer tools, API platforms, or AI infrastructure.
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical challenges—such as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, request routing, data plane architectures, and transport trade-offs—into actionable product requirements.
- Proven track record driving execution and managing dependencies across globally distributed R&D teams.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to articulate technical strategy across multiple functions and seniority levels.
- Deep project management instincts to track work, surface blockers early, and keep cross-functional roadmaps on schedule.
