## Description

As a Lead Product Manager for Developer Productivity at Airbnb, you will own the product areas developers rely on and the end-to-end workflows that determine how productive engineers are.

Your goal will be to understand the end-to-end developer journey, identify where it breaks, and drive the work to fix it.

Key responsibilities:

- Establish product vision and northstar for your area and connect it to the broader developer productivity strategy

- Own cross-cutting developer workflows end to end, mapping where they break and driving changes to improve them

- Define how to measure developer productivity, building metrics, instrumentation, and qualitative research

- Partner with Engineering, Product, TPM, and Data Science to understand goals and establish success criteria

- Develop the product roadmap and get alignment on prioritization and timelines

- Influence teams you don't own, building the case and bringing data to get other groups to prioritize developer productivity work

- Develop a deep understanding of how Airbnb's engineers work day to day and of the technical architecture underneath

- Execute efficiently to ship products and deliver impact

Requirements:

- 10+ years of product management experience building tools and platforms for technical users

- Track record of improving developer or engineering productivity

- Experience defining and operationalizing metrics for hard-to-quantify outcomes

- Strong understanding of technical architecture for complex and highly scalable systems

- Demonstrated ability to drive outcomes across organizational boundaries without direct authority

- Ability to understand immediate and longer-term customer goals and needs

- Entrepreneurial drive and ability to lead and influence cross-functional teams

- Ability to quickly absorb technical concepts and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical partners

- Previous experience as a software engineer or working closely with engineering teams is a strong plus

Nice to have:

- Familiarity with developer productivity research and frameworks (DORA, SPACE, DevEx)

- Storytelling skills that connect the problem you're solving to a compelling vision
