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. With Fivetran, customer data arrives in their warehouses, canonical and ready to query, with no engineering or maintenance required. We’re proud that more organizations continue to leverage our technology every day to become truly data-driven.

About the Role

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 . These surfaces are the daily home of tens of thousands of data practitioners, from seasoned analytics engineers to newer practitioners who rely on AI to move faster with confidence.

This is a Staff-level role with broad scope and direct influence on company direction. You will be the key partner to the Fusion team , the engine behind dbt’s next-generation compilation and intelligence. You will decide how Fusion’s capabilities become differentiated developer experiences, and you will make sure developer needs shape the Fusion roadmap. The feedback loop between Developer Experience and Fusion is central to how dbt Cloud evolves, and you will be its architect.

We are looking for someone who is both strategic and hands-on: a leader who can define where AI-native developer tooling is going, and who is deeply passionate about AI agents and what it takes to build them well.

In This Role, You Will

Set strategy and own the roadmap

Define and own the multi-year vision and roadmap for developer experience across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension, and translate it into clear priorities, sequencing, and tradeoffs.

Align developer experience investments with company strategy, product-led growth goals, and the Fusion platform direction. Set success metrics and hold yourself accountable for the outcomes.

Make high-stakes bets on where to invest, what to build, and what not to build, using market insight, customer evidence, and technical judgment.

Lead AI agent product development

Define what a best-in-class AI coding agent looks like for the full range of dbt users. This includes agentic workflows, multi-step task execution, context management, natural language interaction, and guided experiences that meet users where they are.

Shape principles for trust, transparency, control, and evaluation in agentic experiences, so users can rely on the agent for real work.

Track the fast-moving AI development landscape (Copilot, Cursor, Devin, and beyond) and turn it into a differentiated point of view, not just feature parity.

Drive cross-functional execution and influence

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, and keep teams aligned on what matters and why.

Influence senior leadership and stakeholders across the company with crisp strategy docs, compelling demos, and clear framing of complex tradeoffs.

Mentor other PMs and raise the bar for product craft, rigor, and technical depth across the organization.

Stay close to users and the market

Build tight feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers, with particular attention to power users and technical practitioners.

Use user research and competitive analysis to ground strategy in evidence and bring a sharp external perspective into planning.

What Success Looks Like
