CloudBees is looking to solve the problem of streamlining how developers build, test, release, and operate software by leading the AI-enabled developer tooling and integration strategy across their Unify Initiative, focusing on automating CI/CD, IDE Integrations, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, and command-line developer experiences.
Requirements
- 4+ years of product management (developer-focused products strongly preferred) with shipped features in CI/CD, developer platforms, DevOps tooling, or infrastructure automation.
- Hands-on familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g., CloudBees/Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Argo, Tekton) and pipelines-as-code patterns.
- Experience building/owning CLIs and SDKs (designing commands, outputs, auth flows, packaging, versioning, and backward compatibility) and a strong point of view on terminal UX.
- Working knowledge and hands on experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent/tool protocols, and how to expose platform capabilities to IDEs, agents, or automation via secure, auditable interfaces.
- Technical depth in one or more of: Kubernetes and containers, SCM and Git workflows, artifacts and registries, secrets and identity (OIDC, SSO), policy as code, and platform observability.
- Data-driven mindset with the ability to instrument, analyze, and act on DX and delivery metrics (including DORA) to drive outcomes.
- Background with Github actions, Jenkins, or Gitlab shared libraries, and plugin/extensibility models.
Responsibilities
- Own the developer tooling roadmap across CLIs, SDKs, templates, and pipelines-as-code for CloudBees CI/CD and related services.
- Define the strategy for MCP and agent/tool integrations—standardizing how developers and automations discover, authorize, and use CloudBees capabilities from terminals, IDEs, and agent frameworks.
- Deliver world-class CLI experiences: intuitive commands and flags, consistent outputs/exit codes, great help and examples, shell completion, offline workflows, and robust auth/profile management.
- Evolve pipelines-as-code and reusable delivery blueprints (e.g., templates for languages, frameworks, containers, and platforms like Kubernetes, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
- Advance CI/CD scalability and reliability through features for configuration as code, multi-tenant governance, workspace/runner orchestration, and fleet-level insights.
- Champion developer experience (DX) using telemetry, user research, and rapid iteration; define measurable outcomes (TTR, MTTR, lead time, change failure rate, DORA metrics, tool adoption, and task completion time).
- Write crisp specifications (APIs, CLIs, data contracts, permissions), acceptance criteria, and launch plans; drive end-to-end execution from ideation through GA and iteration.
Other
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, docs, solutions, sales, marketing, support, and partner teams to deliver adoption-ready releases.
- Represent CloudBees to the developer community—presenting roadmaps, writing technical posts, gathering feedback, and nurturing contributors and champions.
- Bias for action and customer empathy, thriving in fast-moving, highly collaborative environments.
- Excellent communication: can translate between developer needs, business impact, and platform constraints; strong writing for specs, docs, and release notes.
- Remote Work Environment
