Senior Product Manager: Developer Experience

About Us

Trase is the operating system for high-stakes environments, providing end-to-end solutions for deploying, managing, and optimizing AI within industries where security, governance, and data sovereignty are non-negotiable.

Our HIPAA- and SOC 2-compliant platform bridges the “last mile” of AI adoption, empowering sectors like healthcare and national security to run trustworthy, predictable AI agents across any model or environment—whether in the cloud, on-prem, or at the edge—with unified policy enforcement, continuous monitoring, and fully immutable audit trails.

Trase’s suite of products includes Origin, its agentic operating system; Leagues, its marketplace for specialized, configurable, ready-to-deploy agents; and Arena, where developers build, evaluate, and package the agents that run on Origin. The company has repeatedly topped Hugging Face’s GAIA Leaderboard for Generalized AI Assistants, placing it firmly at the forefront of AI-agent innovation.

The role: Senior Product Manager, Developer Experience

You'll own the experience of developers who build, test, and deploy AI agents with Trase. Your job is to help a new developer get to a working agent quickly and give experienced teams tools they can trust in production. As teams move from experimental agent demos to mission-critical production systems, you will define the standard for how serious developers build, evaluate, and ship AI agents.

You’ll be the product manager for Trase Arena, our SDK and tools for building AI agents. Your scope covers a developer’s work from the first build through deployment, observability and improvement on Origin. You'll work directly with developers, engineering, design, and product marketing to build an experience that earns adoption through the product itself.

What You Will Do

• Know the developer: Work directly with developers to understand what they're trying to build. Observe where they get stuck, test assumptions, and use what you learn to set priorities.
• Set a high bar for the tools: Own the developer experience across the SDK, APIs, and CLI. Make them consistent, predictable, well documented, and useful for real development work.
• Make the whole journey work: Connect building, testing, evaluation, packaging, and deployment into a coherent experience. Partner with the enterprise platform PM to make the path through production approval clear for builders and operators.
• Own documentation and onboarding: Treat these as core parts of the product. Help developers understand the concepts, complete their first deployment, and solve problems independently.
• Build ecosystem foundations: Prioritize examples, templates, and reference integrations that help developers build useful agents. Shape how developers discover, reuse, and share what others have built.
• Earn developer trust: Establish clear expectations for compatibility, API versioning, and deprecation. Work with engineering to make changes understandable and manageable for developers.
• Drive product-led growth: Reduce friction from first use through repeat adoption. Partner with product marketing on getting-started content and developer adoption, grounding that work in the actual product experience.
• Measure and deliver: Own priorities and follow through from discovery to release. Track monthly active developers, time to first deployment, onboarding time, developer satisfaction, and the number of agents built with Arena and running on Origin.

About You

• You've owned and shipped developer products such as SDKs, APIs, CLIs, or development platforms.
• You have strong product taste in developer tooling: You have an opinionated point of view on what makes an API intuitive, an error message actionable, and a CLI joyful to use—and you can defend those opinions with engineers and designers.
• You care about the details developers notice: clear abstractions, useful errors, accurate examples, dependable behavior, and documentation that answers the question.
• You think like an entrepreneur. You identify useful opportunities, test them with developers, and turn what you learn into product decisions.
• You take ownership without waiting for direction. You understand how to keep individual developers moving fast without creating dead-ends, allowing us to scale into production.
• You learn quickly and exercise sound judgment. You can explain a complex problem clearly and choose a practical path through it.
• You ship and measure what happens next. Your standard is whether developers can successfully build and deploy something useful.

Nice to have (not required)

• Experience building AI agents or working with evaluation and testing tools.
• Experience growing a developer ecosystem, marketplace, or integration platform.
• Experience improving self-service activation and developer retention.
• Experience connecting developer workflows with enterprise production requirements.
