The Role
We are looking for a Product Manager to lead our flagship GitKraken Desktop product - a cross-platform Git client used by millions of developers worldwide. This is a technical product role requiring either direct experience with developer workflows, Git, and version control systems, or a passion for quickly learning these technical domains. As the primary PM for GitKraken Desktop, you'll have significant autonomy to shape both the product direction and user experience while driving business outcomes.

You'll work closely with a dedicated Engineering team and designer to simplify complex Git operations and enhance development workflows for our users. Success in this role means understanding developer pain points and translating them into innovative solutions - you don't need to be a developer yourself, but you should be comfortable in technical conversations and excited to learn. This role offers exposure to cutting-edge fields, including developer tooling and AI integration, positioning you at the intersection of two rapidly evolving technology domains.

The ideal candidate combines product vision and execution skills with curiosity about how developers work. Your decisions will directly impact millions of developers worldwide, with the opportunity to engage directly with our user community through research, interviews, and testing to ensure we're solving real problems. This is an exciting opportunity to join a strong, technical product team while being part of a company that uniquely balances growth with profitability.

We are committed to having an inclusive and authentic work environment where unique perspectives, skills, and backgrounds are celebrated. We work hard to foster diversity in our workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements, don't let self-filtering and imposter syndrome get in the way of a great fit. We would love to hear from you!

• Work closely with our Sr. Director of Product to take end-to-end responsibility for our GitKraken Desktop product
• Partner with engineering to rapidly prototype solutions, balancing user research with data-driven decisions
• Create comprehensive specifications, wireframes, and user stories that guide feature development
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to drive successful product launches and feature releases
• Analyze product metrics and conduct user research to validate opportunities and inform priorities
• Identify opportunities to leverage AI and integrate with our broader DevEx platform (including GitLens, GitKraken.dev, CLI, and Browser Extension)
• Generate alignment and buy-in across Engineering, Marketing, Finance, and Customer Success teams

What you’ll bring

• Proven experience in product management, with experience leading the end-to-end product lifecycle from ideation to launch
• An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and solve problems creatively
• Strong analytical skills and a data-informed approach to decision making
• Excellent communication abilities, both in technical discussions and cross-functional contexts
• A genuine curiosity about developer workflows and technology trends
• Ability to balance user needs with business objectives
• Experience conducting user research and translating insights into product features

Bonus points

• Software development experience or product management within the developer tooling space
• Understanding of Git, version control systems, or development workflows
• Experience with AI-assisted development tools or workflows
• Track record of growing product adoption and engagement metrics
