About Cloudbees

CloudBees enables enterprises to deliver scalable, compliant, and secure software, empowering developers to do their best work.

Seamlessly integrating into any hybrid and heterogeneous environment, CloudBees is more than a tool—it's a strategic partner in your cloud transformation journey, ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency while enhancing the developer experience across your entire software development lifecycle. It allows developers to bring and execute their code anywhere, providing greater flexibility and freedom through fast, self-serve, and secure workflows.

CloudBees supports organizations at every step of their DevSecOps journey, whether using Jenkins on-premise or transitioning software delivery to the cloud. We’re helping customers build the future, today.

About The Role

CloudBees is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead our AI enabled developer tooling and integration strategy across our Unify Initiative. This will cover things such as automating CI/CD, IDE Integrations, Model Context Protocol (MCP)-based integrations, owning Unify’s MCP, and command-line developer experiences. You will define the roadmap and deliver products that streamline how developers build, test, release, and operate software—spanning local dev to production pipelines. This role is perfect for a PM who loves building for developers, obsesses over CLI/IDE/terminal UX, and can translate platform capabilities into delightful, reliable, and measurable workflows at enterprise scale.

You’ll partner closely with customers and CloudBees engineering to evolve our CLIs, SDKs, and templates; modernize pipelines-as-code; standardize integration patterns (including MCP servers/tools); and simplify day-2 operations (observability, governance, and fleet management) for CI/CD at scale. Have owned prototype to production and loves demoing with customers at events.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the developer tooling roadmap across CLIs, SDKs, templates, and pipelines-as-code for CloudBees CI/CD and related services.
• Define the strategy for MCP and agent/tool integrations—standardizing how developers and automations discover, authorize, and use CloudBees capabilities from terminals, IDEs, and agent frameworks.
• Deliver world-class CLI experiences: intuitive commands and flags, consistent outputs/exit codes, great help and examples, shell completion, offline workflows, and robust auth/profile management.
• Evolve pipelines-as-code and reusable delivery blueprints (e.g., templates for languages, frameworks, containers, and platforms like Kubernetes, GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).
• Advance CI/CD scalability and reliability through features for configuration as code, multi-tenant governance, workspace/runner orchestration, and fleet-level insights.
• Champion developer experience (DX) using telemetry, user research, and rapid iteration; define measurable outcomes (TTR, MTTR, lead time, change failure rate, DORA metrics, tool adoption, and task completion time).
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, docs, solutions, sales, marketing, support, and partner teams to deliver adoption-ready releases.
• Write crisp specifications (APIs, CLIs, data contracts, permissions), acceptance criteria, and launch plans; drive end-to-end execution from ideation through GA and iteration.
• Represent CloudBees to the developer community—presenting roadmaps, writing technical posts, gathering feedback, and nurturing contributors and champions.

Qualifications

Required:

• 4+ years of product management (developer-focused products strongly preferred) with shipped features in CI/CD, developer platforms, DevOps tooling, or infrastructure automation.
• Hands-on familiarity with CI/CD systems (e.g., CloudBees/Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Argo, Tekton) and pipelines-as-code patterns.
• Experience building/owning CLIs and SDKs (designing commands, outputs, auth flows, packaging, versioning, and backward compatibility) and a strong point of view on terminal UX.
• Working knowledge and hands on experience with MCP (Model Context Protocol) or similar agent/tool protocols, and how to expose platform capabilities to IDEs, agents, or automation via secure, auditable interfaces.
• Technical depth in one or more of: Kubernetes and containers, SCM and Git workflows, artifacts and registries, secrets and identity (OIDC, SSO), policy as code, and platform observability.
• Data-driven mindset with the ability to instrument, analyze, and act on DX and delivery metrics (including DORA) to drive outcomes.
• Excellent communication: can translate between developer needs, business impact, and platform constraints; strong writing for specs, docs, and release notes.
• Bias for action and customer empathy, thriving in fast-moving, highly collaborative environments.

Preferred (Not Required):

• Background with Github actions, Jenkins, or Gitlab shared libraries, and plugin/extensibility models.
• Experience with Go, Node.js, Python, or Java from a product perspective (enough to reason about SDK ergonomics and sample apps).
• Familiarity with security and compliance in delivery pipelines (SBOMs, provenance, supply-chain attestations, policy engines) as they affect enterprise adoption.
• Exposure to LLM/agent workflows and developer productivity tooling in IDEs/terminals.

Impact You'Ll Drive

• Reduced time-to-first-pipeline and faster path to “green build.”
• Higher CLI/SDK adoption and satisfaction (NPS/CSAT, task success rates).
• Improved delivery performance (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, MTTR).
• Consistent integration patterns (including MCP) that scale across products and customers.

If you’re excited to shape the next generation of developer tooling for enterprise CI/CD—making the command line and automation sing—we’d love to hear from you.
