About the Role

PubNub is looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the strategy, evolution, and success of our SDKs—core components that power real-time experiences across mobile, web, and server platforms. As a critical member of the Product team, you will ensure that developers across industries have best-in-class tools and frameworks to build on PubNub with ease, speed, and confidence. Experience with AI platforms and models is highly desired. As AI capabilities rapidly become embedded into real-time applications—from virtual assistants and smart bots to live data analysis and intelligent content moderation—you will help shape the evolution of SDKs, leveraging AI.

Responsibilities

• Drive Developer Success: Understand how developers integrate PubNub SDKs into their applications across Android, iOS, Web, Unity, and server-side environments. Identify pain points and opportunities to improve the developer experience.
• Define SDK & AI-Ready Strategy: Own and evolve the SDK portfolio with an eye toward AI integration. Prioritize support for emerging platforms and tools, optimize for performance and usability, and ensure SDKs are ready for evolving AI-driven workflows.
• Research & Requirements Gathering: Engage with customers, prospects, developer advocates, and internal teams to gather feedback. Translate these insights into clear and actionable product requirements.
• Execute with Engineering: Act as product owner with agile teams to develop, test, and ship new SDK features and improvements. Ensure SDKs are reliable, well-documented, and easy to adopt—especially when AI-powered features, MCP etc. are a part of the experience.
• Cross-functional Launches: Work with Developer Relations, Product Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Support to ensure SDK releases are well-positioned in the market and understood by users.
• Analytics & Iteration: Define success metrics for SDK usage and adoption. Monitor performance and engagement, and adjust the roadmap accordingly to improve impact.
