This pivotal role will focus on defining and delivering the core platform infrastructure, robust APIs, comprehensive developer tools, and essential foundational agentic capabilities. We are looking for a leader who is passionate about building scalable, reliable platforms that enable developer success.

As a Product Manager for the core platform & APIs, you will be the crucial link between the strategic vision for our agentic services and the engineering teams responsible for building its foundation. Your mission is to empower internal and external developer communities by providing them with a world-class platform and the tools they need to build innovative agentic AI solutions. You'll ensure our platform is not only technically excellent but also designed with deep empathy for the developers who will use it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Platform Strategy & Vision: Champion a clear and compelling product vision and strategy for the Core Platform & APIs, aligning with the overall Agentic AI platform goals and the needs of the AECO industry.

Meticulously manage the core platform backlog, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities and engineering capacity.

• Intense Engineering Collaboration: Work intensely and collaboratively with the VP's engineering team and assigned Tech Leads to translate platform requirements into technical specifications and ensure successful, timely delivery of platform features and enhancements.

• API Design & Developer Empathy: Lead the design of intuitive, robust, and well-documented APIs. Act as the unwavering voice of the developer, deeply understanding their needs, workflows, and pain points to ensure the platform and tools provide an excellent developer experience.

• Technical Expertise & Evangelism: Maintain a deep understanding of modern platform architectures, including microservices, scalable systems, API design best practices, and developer tooling. Translate complex technical concepts into clear requirements and advocate for best practices in platform development.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as a primary liaison and collaborative partner for various Business Area/Product Teams who will consume the platform, as well as with UX, documentation, and other relevant teams. Foster strong relationships and facilitate seamless communication.

• Prioritization & Strategic Roadmap: Develop and manage a strategic product roadmap for the Core Platform & APIs. Guide prioritization of competing initiatives based on developer needs, technical feasibility, strategic alignment, and overall business impact.

• Agile & Project Management: Employ strong agile and project management methodologies to keep platform development efforts organized, transparent, and on track. Proactively identify and mitigate risks, managing dependencies across teams effectively.

• Stakeholder Alignment: Communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, including business leaders, design teams, engineering groups, and other product teams. Clearly articulate platform strategy, project status, risks, and anticipated outcomes.

• Go-to-Market Support: Collaborate with relevant teams to support the release of new platform versions, APIs, and developer tools, including contributing to documentation and developer onboarding materials.

What You Should Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

• 8+ years of experience in technical product management, with a strong focus on platform products, APIs, developer tools, or enterprise software infrastructure. A proven track record of successfully launching and managing technical products.

• Strong foundational understanding and practical experience with API design principles, microservices architecture, scalable systems, and cloud technologies.

• Demonstrated ability to understand complex technical concepts and translate them into clear requirements, robust platform solutions, and compelling value propositions for developers.

• Deep empathy for developers and a passion for creating tools and platforms that enhance their productivity and experience.

• Excellent project management skills, with experience leading complex, cross-functional projects in an agile environment.

• Exceptional communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical teams and stakeholders at all levels.

• Proven ability to be the voice of the developer and advocate for their needs.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to prioritize among competing initiatives and make data-driven decisions.

• A proactive, self-starter mentality with a strong sense of ownership, a passion for innovation, and an eagerness to build foundational technologies.

• Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment, embrace new technologies, and lead change by inspiring others.

This role must be located in a time zone with significant overlaps with the targeted business areas of Trimble.  That means in North America or Western Europe.  Ideally, the candidate would be near a Trimble office and work on a hybrid schedule.

As this is a leadership role that will entail close collaboration with business units and product teams across the whole of Trimble’s solutions, travel to meet in person will likely be several times per quarter.

The Agentic AI Team is a new team. This leadership role will have a significant influence on the organizational design of the team, working closely with Mike Tadros, Sr Director of Product for the Agentic AI Platform. The team is currently reporting through Trimble’s AECO segment, though we fully expect the Agentic AI Platform services will be leveraged to build AI-powered products across all three of Trimble’s segments. This is a ground-floor opportunity to shape how a global company leverages Agentic AI, defining new processes and embodying an AI-native culture.

We believe in celebrating our differences. That is why our diversity is our strength. To us, that means actively participating in opportunities to be inclusive. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion have guided our current success while also moving our desire to improve. We actively seek to add members to our community who represent our customers and the places we live and work.

We have programs in place to make sure our people are seen, heard, and welcomed, and most importantly, that they know they belong, no matter who they are or where they are coming from.
