Product Manager (Developer Experience & Platform, Mulesoft)
Salesforce
Job description
-
We are looking for collaborative, technical, and user-centric Product Managers and Senior Product Managers to join the MuleSoft Developer Experience & Platform team
-
In this role, you will help build the tools, APIs, runtimes, and interfaces that developers and platform engineers use every day to design, secure, and scale enterprise-grade integrations
-
This is a hands-on product role
-
You won’t just write PRDs and hand them off
-
You will prototype, build proofs of concept, lead deep-dive demonstrations across the entire platform portfolio, and dig into exploratory initiatives yourself
-
If you’re energized by both shaping long-term strategy and getting into the weeds with the technology, this role is for you
-
Product Ownership: Own the roadmap and end-to-end lifecycle for key capabilities across MuleSoft’s developer tools, API management portfolio, or core platform infrastructure
-
Developer Empathy: Engage directly with developers, architects, and platform engineering teams to understand their workflows, friction points, and usability needs
-
Hands-on Prototyping: Run exploratory spikes, test your own products, build proofs of concept (POCs), and write clear, concise product specifications
-
AI-Assisted Delivery: Leverage AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, Copilot) to rapidly prototype, build demo assets, and explore technical concepts quickly—using AI tooling as a force multiplier
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Engineering, UX Design, Product Marketing, Developer Relations, and Support to ensure cohesive go-to-market execution and high adoption

To be considered for Product Manager:

Demonstrated ability to independently manage a multi-quarter product roadmap, prioritize conflicting enterprise customer needs, and lead cross-functional initiatives

To be considered for Senior Product Manager:

A track record of shipping software features, owning a backlog, and collaborating closely with engineering teams in an agile environment
