The Role Director of Product Management for the AthenaOS Developer Platform, responsible for the SDK, developer tooling, capability fabric, and the broader ecosystem that supports internal teams, partners, integrators, and future AI‑driven builders.
What You Will Lead
Developer Platform & SDK Strategy – define and drive the vision for a world‑class developer experience, including the AthenaOS application SDK, CLI, scaffolding, templates, and developer workflows.
Local development tools, testing frameworks, telemetry, and debugging – create a fast, intuitive, stable, and delightful experience for developers building on AthenaOS.
API & Modular Capability Fabric – own the fundamental API and capability model that powers all applications and agents, including core data and identity capabilities, intelligence and inference primitives, activation, workflows, and orchestration capabilities, cross‑application integration patterns, and secure application‑level contracts.
Developer Ecosystem & Community Leadership – build and scale the ecosystem around AthenaOS by creating documentation and developer learning hubs, example apps, templates, reference architectures, partner enablement, certification programs, hackathons, builder events, and community engagement.
AI‑Augmented Development & Model Context Protocol Integration – partner with Athena AI teams to define how LLMs read and reason about application primitives, generate code or modules, operate safely within developer tooling, and validate and optimize app behavior through structured contexts.
Developer Governance & Reliability Standards – drive the standards that ensure consistency and integrity across the ecosystem, covering API versioning, SDK release cadences, security, privacy, isolation boundaries, observability, performance baselines, reliability guarantees, and tooling for debugging, monitoring, and issue resolution.
Cross‑Functional Leadership – collaborate with engineering, design systems, AI research, platform architecture, and security leaders to build a cohesive developer platform that empowers both human developers and AI agents.
The Role Includes Location: San Francisco, CA. Salary Range: $190,000 – $210,000, depending on location and experience.

Understanding of AI‑assisted or agentic development workflows.
Exceptional cross‑functional leadership and communication skills.
