Senior Product Manager

Who We Are

Develocity is a first-of-its-kind toolchain observability and acceleration platform that helps software teams adopt and improve DORA capabilities (including continuous delivery) in order to achieve software delivery excellence. It combines build and test acceleration with deep observability for builds and tests with Gradle Build Tool, Apache Maven™, sbt, npm, and Python, and applies to both CI and local builds and tests. Ultimately, Develocity provides an operational layer across an organization’s toolchains to speed up, troubleshoot, and optimize local developer and remote CI feedback loops.

Our software is used by some of the world's leading software organizations, such as Netflix, Airbnb, SAP, several top ten banks, and many other major customers across all verticals. We regularly collaborate with these and other users to make our products continuously better.

We have partnered with the Apache Software Foundation, the Commonhaus Foundation, the Scala Center, the Micronaut Foundation, and other OSS projects like Spring, Quarkus, Kotlin, JUnit, AndroidX, and many more to bring the values of Develocity also to the OSS Community.
