Glean Product Manager at Glean responsible for leading the development of APIs, SDKs, and MCP strategy for developer personas. Own the design and evolution of public APIs and SDKs, including versioning, deprecation, and backwards compatibility.
Responsibilities
As Glean’s PM on agent interop and partnerships, you will lead the development of Glean's APIs, SDKs and MCP strategy for the developer persona within our customers and our partners. 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
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.
Write code. Build the sample apps, run the integrations, and feel the rough edges yourself before a customer does.
Read the docs like a developer who's never seen them, then fix the parts that lie or leave things out.
Dig into support tickets and forum threads for patterns. Treat a recurring question as a design defect, not a documentation gap to paper over.
Set and defend the metrics that matter: time-to-first-call, integration success rate, API error rates, and the ones that actually predict whether a developer ships.
Lock the API contract and requirements before engineering starts building, and hold the line when someone wants to bolt on scope mid-flight.

You have strong product taste for developer interfaces and care about clear abstractions, consistent resource design, and machine-readable errors

You have worked directly with customer and partner developers and know how to translate their needs into better platform products
You have experience integrating products with third-party enterprise applications and understand what it takes to make those integrations reliable in production
