Product Manager (API Platform)

Join Glean as a Product Manager for our API Platform. In this role, you will lead the development of Glean's APIs, SDKs, and MCP strategy for the developer persona within our customers and partners. You will own the design and evolution of our public APIs and SDKs, spec the developer experience end to end, write code, and set and defend the metrics that matter. The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, a deep understanding of developer needs, and a passion for building robust, scalable API and SDK solutions.

Lead the development of Glean's APIs, SDKs, and MCP strategy for the developer persona within our customers and partners.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and evolution of our public APIs and SDKs, including versioning, deprecation, and the backwards-compatibility promises we make.
• Spec the developer experience end to end: auth, onboarding, first call, error handling, rate limiting, webhooks, and the long tail of edge cases that decide whether someone stays.
• You have built or led APIs and SDKs that are robust, scalable, and easy for external developers to adopt
• You define success with metrics and can track adoption, usability, and business impact for developer-facing products

Requirements

• The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background, a deep understanding of developer needs, and a passion for building robust, scalable API and SDK solutions and show an ability to collaborate with some of the premier B2B product companies for our partnership strategy
• You have experience integrating products with third-party enterprise applications and understand what it takes to make those integrations reliable in production
• You have 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in platform, developer experience, API, SDK, or partnership-driven products
• You are excited about AI and motivated by helping customers and partners build more effectively with it
• You have worked directly with customer and partner developers and know how to translate their needs into better platform products
• You are deeply technical and comfortable working through API contracts, request payloads, logs, telemetry, and implementation tradeoffs with engineers
• You know how to think from the developer’s point of view and can quickly spot where documentation, workflows, or product behavior become confusing
• You write clearly and value concise specs, accurate documentation, and product experiences that tell developers what to do next
• You have strong product taste for developer interfaces and care about clear abstractions, consistent resource design, and machine-readable errors
