Coder is a company that provides a centralized platform for building and running cloud-based software development environments.
Coder is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own Coder Agents. You'll take an incubated, fast-moving product and give it a scaled strategy. Usage is expanding beyond enterprise developers to citizen developers and other new personas. You'll define vision and strategy where it's still nascent, then bring enough structure to scale without slowing momentum. You'll partner closely with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to ship and measure impact. We're running lean on process by design - expect to build judgment, not bureaucracy. What you’ll do here - Own the full product lifecycle for Coder Agents - from incubating ideas through GA and into ongoing scale. - Define and evolve product vision and strategy for Agents, synthesizing customer, market, and business signals into a clear roadmap. - Identify and validate opportunities for Agents to reach new personas, from enterprise developers to citizen developers. - Research customer problems through direct engagement with enterprise accounts, community feedback, and ecosystem analysis. - Bring just enough structure to move fast without losing rigor - strong problem statements, crisp requirements, clear execution. - Lead high-stakes customer conversations, including executive roadmap reviews, product demos, and enterprise stakeholder discussions. - Shape licensing, packaging, and pricing decisions that support Agents' path to sustainable growth. - Mentor and support other PMs through senior-level product leadership, coaching, and sharing best practices What we’re looking for - 5+ years of experience building software products end-to-end, with clear customer and business outcomes. - Deep understanding of the AI/agentic market - you know the players, the trends, and where enterprise adoption is headed. - Proven experience taking a product from GA, setting direction where little exists yet. - Proven ability to operate independently and set the agenda with minimal oversight. - Experience building for enterprise customers - complex adoption cycles, compliance requirements, procurement, and multi-stakeholder buying. - A strong technical foundation that lets you collaborate credibly with engineers and make informed trade-offs. - Judgment to bring just enough process to scale a fast-moving product without slowing it down. - Willingness to travel occasionally for customer and industry engagements. Our tech stack - Backend: Go, Postgres, GCP, Kubernetes, gRPC - Frontend: TypeScript, React, Vite - IDE Extensions: TypeScript, Kotlin - Observability: Prometheus, Grafana - CI/CD: GitHub Actions - General: GitHub, Slack, Discord, Notion Bonus tacos if you have - (Tacos? If you need an ice-breaker, ask how we say thanks by giving tacos!) - Experience with pricing strategy, licensing models, onboarding funnels, or open-core business models. - Experience across both startup and larger-scale organizations. - Comfort representing Coder externally through talks, writing, or other public channels. - Deep familiarity with the developer tools ecosystem, with strong opinions of your own.

Specifically: - Ashby helps us review inbound applications by surfacing candidates who best match the role requirements we've defined. This tool does not make hiring decisions - it helps our team prioritize which applications to review first. - Granola takes notes during our interview calls so our team can focus on the conversation with you. All hiring decisions are made by humans. Our team reviews applications, conducts interviews, and makes final selections. AI tools assist us but never replace human judgment, and these practices are conducted in compliance with applicable data protection, AI governance, and labor laws. Your data is not used to train AI models.
