[Remote] Product Manager, API & Platform

Remote Full-time Hiring now

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Descript is building a simple, intuitive, fully-powered editing tool for video and audio, and they are seeking a Product Manager for their API and Platform team. In this role, you will own the API and developer experience, launch integrations, and work closely with the AI team to shape the product's development and market strategy.

Responsibilities

  • Own the API and developer experience that lets teams create content workflows at scale
  • Launch integrations that unlock new use cases: MCP wrappers, no-code workflow platforms, and strategic partner integrations
  • Work closely with our Agentic AI team to influence what editing capabilities we build and how they're exposed through the API
  • Define and grow this business line by shaping positioning, pricing, and go-to-market strategy with Sales and Marketing teams

Skills

  • You have 5 or more years of product management experience shipping internal APIs, developer platforms, and foundational systems that enable other teams
  • Building a brand new product means venturing into the unknown, and you find that energizing rather than scary. You've taken products from 0 to 1, figured out ambiguous problem spaces, and created the playbook to make it successful
  • You care deeply about understanding customers, and have experience in doing customer discovery and defining features that solve real problems
  • You are funny, creative, maybe kind of weird

Benefits

  • A generous healthcare package
  • 401k matching program
  • Catered lunches
  • Flexible vacation time
  • A handful of opportunities throughout the year for in person collaboration
  • We're flexible, and you're an adult—we don't expect or mandate that you're in the office every day
