What You'll Do Are you a driven and ambitious individual looking to make an impact in the world of Information Technology? Principal is seeking a Product Manager I to join our team in Pune, Maharashtra, India. This is a unique opportunity to work with a world-class team and be part of exciting and innovative projects that shape the future of our technology landscape! Job Responsibilities Product Strategy & Execution • Partner with Product Management and Engineering leadership to understand PDIO strategy and drive execution within agreed priorities. • Convert the PDIO vision into well-defined product outcomes, roadmap priorities, and quantifiable opportunities. • Develop a solid grasp of the developer journey, engineering workflows, SDLC methods, and challenges faced by product delivery teams. • Ensure relationships and dependencies across developer platforms, engineering methods, tooling, data, and delivery processes are understood and reflected in product decisions. • Integrate developer, engineering, product, and collaborator insights to build a shared understanding of the highest-value problems to solve. Product Discovery & Developer Experience • Recognize and assess opportunities to advance Developer Experience (DX), engineering productivity, software delivery flow, quality, and reliability. • Partner with engineers, delivery managers, product managers, and other collaborators to understand workflow friction and determine root causes. • Develop hypotheses and collaborate with engineering teams on experiments and solutions. • Use quantitative DX signals alongside qualitative team feedback to distinguish symptoms from meaningful problems worth solving. • Assess experiment results and use findings to inform backlog and roadmap prioritization. • Help establish an effective parallel discovery and delivery model for PDIO. Product Delivery • Take responsibility for the successful delivery of measurable, goal-aligned PDIO outcomes in collaboration with engineering and other technology teams. • Own and refine the product roadmap and prioritized backlog for assigned PDIO capabilities. • Transform validated opportunities into well-defined product requirements, outcomes, success measures, stories, and acceptance criteria. • Work together with the team to divide tasks into smaller parts that allow for regular delivery and learning. • Identify and help resolve dependencies and impediments affecting product outcomes. • Engage fully in Agile ceremonies and join the team in ongoing efforts to refine delivery approaches. • Communicate product releases, changes, and resulting value to collaborators and partners. Product Measurement, DX & Engineering Intelligence • Use DX, DORA, and SDLC metrics to understand product health, developer friction, delivery performance, and opportunities for improvement. • Review dashboards weekly or per sprint to identify hotspots, trends, rework, lead-time indicators, blocked work, and cross-team handoff delays. • Bring relevant signals into retrospectives, planning, and team reflection conversations. • Use team health, snapshot results, negative themes, and satisfaction trends in combination with workflow measures to form a balanced understanding of developer experience. • Partner with teams to co-create measurable improvement goals and promote experimentation and small changes. • Evaluate whether PDIO capabilities produce measurable improvements in engineering effectiveness and developer experience. • Use data to guide discovery, prioritization, investment decisions, and roadmap adjustments. Collaborator Management & Communication • Develop solid connections with Product Management, Engineering, Delivery Management, Platform Engineering, Architecture, Security, and other technology collaborators. • Communicate PDIO strategy, priorities, roadmap, experiments, product performance, and outcomes clearly to collaborators. • Develop shared understanding between engineering teams and supporting enterprise functions. • Balance competing needs and prioritize opportunities based on expected developer and business value. • Help collaborators understand and prepare product and process changes. Who You Are Qualifications • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related fields, or equivalent professional experience (B.E. / B.Tech / M.S. / M.Tech / MCA). • Total Experience: 8-10 Years with more than 3 years of background in Product Management, technical product management, software ecosystems, engineering efficiency, or similar roles preferred. Must Have • Strong product discovery, roadmap planning, backlog prioritization, and Agile delivery skills. • Strong collaborator management and communication skills, particularly when working across technical, product development, and engineering teams. • Ability to convert complex technical concepts and engineering data into clear product opportunities, priorities, outcomes, and value. • Analytical problem-solving skills and a committed, ownership approach. • High agency and initiative: ability to translate agreed strategy and direction into action, proactively advance progress, and take ownership of outcomes without close supervision or daily prompting. Preferred to Have • Product Management experience working with Developer Platforms, Developer Experience (DX), Engineering Productivity, Platform Engineering, or similar technical products. • Deep knowledge of Developer Experience concepts and DORA metrics, combined with the skill to convert engineering indicators into product insights and possibilities for improvement. • Experience with GitHub Enterprise, GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, and SDLC governance sufficient to product-manage capabilities across the engineering lifecycle. • Experience using ServiceNow in the context of Agile delivery, process improvements, and incident management. • Familiarity with Snowflake and experience interpreting data to guide product decisions, prioritization, and evaluation.
