Staff Product Manager, AI & Developer Experience

From Fivetran's founding until now, our mission has remained the same: to make access to data as simple and reliable as electricity. AI is changing how data practitioners write, debug, and ship dbt code. As Staff Product Manager for Developer Experience, you will set the strategy for how that change plays out in dbt. You will own the vision, roadmap, and outcomes for the end-to-end developer workflow: the Studio IDE, Developer Agent (our AI coding assistant inside dbt Wizard), the Cloud CLI, and the dbt VS Code Extension.

Responsibilities

Define and own the multi-year vision and roadmap for developer experience across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension; Align developer experience investments with company strategy, product-led growth goals, and the Fusion platform direction, and set success metrics; Make high-stakes bets on where to invest, what to build, and what not to build; Define what a best-in-class AI coding agent looks like, including agentic workflows, multi-step task execution, context management, natural language interaction, and guided experiences; Shape principles for trust, transparency, control, and evaluation in agentic experiences; Track the AI development landscape and turn it into a differentiated point of view; Partner with the Fusion team to co-define the boundary between platform and product, agree on API contracts, and keep roadmaps coordinated; Lead engineering, design, and GTM teams through a predictable shipping cadence; Influence senior leadership and stakeholders across the company; Mentor other PMs and raise the bar for product craft, rigor, and technical depth; Build tight feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers; Use user research and competitive analysis to ground strategy in evidence
