Job Description

About the Role

At Google, we put our users first. The world is always changing, so we need Product Managers who are continuously adapting and excited to work on products that affect millions of people every day. In this role, you will work cross-functionally to guide products from conception to launch by connecting the technical and business worlds. You can break down complex problems into steps that drive product development. Our team collaborates closely with engineers, designers, and marketers to design and develop technologies that improve access to information. As an entrepreneurial, technical, and strategic Principal Product Manager, you will translate external tooling ecosystem capabilities into high-impact prototypes, inform Google’s strategic direction for developer productivity and innovation, and pioneer advancements in Google’s internal developer experience.

Key Responsibilities

Analyze the external developer tooling landscape (startups, open-source, AI, platform shifts) to identify and articulate strategic opportunities and threats relevant to the Product Area's long-term developer experience goals.
Design, build, and iterate on sophisticated prototypes of novel developer tools and experiences that address complex, multi-dimensional problems and validate strategic hypotheses.
Influence C-level leadership and cross-functional partners on strategic priorities and investment decisions, using compelling data, demonstrated prototypes, and strategic narratives.
Advocate successful prototypes and incubated strategies, leading complex, often multi-quarter, cross-organizational initiatives to drive their adoption and integration.
Develop and manage a portfolio of innovative concepts, ensuring they align with broader strategic objectives and create a pipeline for sustained impact on developer experience.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
10 years of experience in product management or a related technical role.
5 years of experience taking technical products from conception to launch.
Experience with the domain area of Generative AI or Large Language Models (LLMs).

Nice to Have

Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field.
Experience architecting and building solutions leveraging generative AI (e.g., using frameworks like LangChain, working with LLMs, vector databases), and an understanding of its application to developer productivity.
Ability to navigate extreme ambiguity, define structure where none exists, and deliver results in fast-paced, evolving environments.
Excellent communication, negotiation, and people management skills, with the ability to build trust and consensus across broad audiences.

Qualifications

Formal educational background includes at least a Bachelor's degree; advanced degrees preferred but not required.

Benefits & Perks

US base salary range for this full-time position is $227,000-$320,000 + bonus + equity + benefits.
