About the role
Own product strategy for Cobalt Streamworks's Infrastructure and AI Dev Tools, driving clarity on prioritization and defining golden paths.
Cobalt Streamworks has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Cobalt Streamworks to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Cobalt Streamworks Desktop, Cobalt Streamworks Hub, and Cobalt Streamworks Scout. We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Cobalt Streamworks is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default. About the Team and Role Cobalt Streamworks is seeking a Staff Product Manager to own product strategy across the Infrastructure and AI Dev Tools organization: the foundation that hundreds of Cobalt Streamworks engineers build on, and an increasingly important source of the AI-native capabilities we bring to customers. This is a rare role that sits at the seam between Cobalt Streamworks's internal developer platform and the customer-facing products that grow out of it. The Infrastructure team builds and operates the cloud-native platform behind products like Cobalt Streamworks Hub, Gordon, and AI Governance: multi-tenant Kubernetes, multi-region networking, self-service provisioning, observability, and the paved roads that let teams ship safely without re-solving the same problems. The AI Dev Tools team builds the agents and tooling that are modernizing how software gets designed, built, shipped, and operated, both for Cobalt Streamworks's own engineers and, increasingly, for the developers and enterprises who rely on Cobalt Streamworks. You will treat the platform as a product. That means driving clarity on prioritization, defining golden paths, measuring adoption rather than mandating it, and earning the trust of internal teams the same way a great product earns the trust of customers. It also means spotting which internal tools and platform capabilities are ready to become customer-facing offerings, and shaping that path from prototype to product. You will work closely with engineering leaders, principal and staff engineers, Security, and the product teams across Cobalt Streamworks, as well as with customers as internal tools graduate into products. What Would Make Someone Successful in This Role Infrastructure and developer platform product management is a distinct craft, and this role is written for that specific kind of person. You think in platforms and golden paths: you build once so dozens of teams can move faster, and you design for adoption rather than mandate. You have strong opinions about what makes developer tooling great, invisible by default, indispensable once adopted, and measurable in the workflows engineers already use. You bring enough technical depth to be a credible partner in architecture and trade-off discussions, comfortable talking through Kubernetes, CI/CD, networking, APIs, and observability with the engineers who own them. You are fluent in where AI and agentic workflows are heading, with a healthy sense of where automation earns its place and where it does not. You become a subject matter expert quickly, you influence without authority across a technical organization, and you balance a long-term platform vision against the near-term needs of the teams depending on you. Above all, you measure success by what the consuming teams feel: how fast they can build and ship, how much they can do on their own, and how reliably it all runs. Responsibilities Platform and AI Dev Tools Strategy and Roadmap Define and execute the long-term product strategy for Cobalt Streamworks's internal developer platform and AI developer tooling, spanning infrastructure, self-service, CI/CD, and AI-powered and agentic workflows. Drive an integrated roadmap that balances foundational platform investments with the AI-native capabilities that differentiate Cobalt Streamworks. Align platform and tooling strategy with Cobalt Streamworks's business objectives and product portfolio, in partnership with engineering and executive leadership. Platform as a Product and Self-Service Treat the internal platform as a product: define golden paths, paved roads, and self-service capabilities that let teams provision, deploy, observe, and operate with minimal friction and strong guardrails. Establish clear contracts, defaults, and documentation, and drive adoption through measurable outcomes rather than mandate. Partner with infrastructure teams to translate reliability, scale, networking, and cost priorities into a roadmap teams can trust. AI and Agentic Product Direction Shape where AI agents and assisted workflows earn their place across the SDLC and operations, from code authoring and review to incident response, with a bias toward safe, auditable, human-reviewed automation. Partner with engineering to decide what to build versus integrate across a fast-moving AI and developer infrastructure landscape. Define how AI tooling effectiveness is measur
