Job description

We re looking for a Principal Product Manager who thinks like an engineer, advocates for developers, and builds like a founder — to reshape Procore s development platform for the AI era.. In this role you ll shape the future of Procore s development platform by treating our 1,000 internal developers as your customers, and the developer platform as your product. You ll own the developer platform roadmap. You ll know our developers better than anyone — what they re building, where they stall, what they ve stopped bothering to ask for — and you ll turn that into a point of view sharp enough to change what gets built across Procore. And you ll build it for a second customer almost nobody has designed for yet: the thousands of agents those developers are running. Human in the loop, not human in the driver s seat. That s what makes this rare. Most platform PMs are optimizing a portal. You ll be designing the interface between an engineering organization and its agents — at the exact moment that interface is being invented. Get it right and 1,000 engineers feel it every single day. This position reports a Group Product Manager and will be based in our Austin, TX office. We re looking for someone to join us immediately. What you ll own The golden paths. You define them, and you make them so good that going around them stops being tempting. Build, test, and deploy that feels the same whether it s Ruby or Go. Preview environments that just work. Pipelines nobody wants to escape. Infrastructure that answers in minutes. Developers declare what they need; the platform resolves it inside a policy envelope — the right shape, the right region, costed and approved before it exists. You ll turn provisioning into a capability engineers call instead of a request they file. Security and compliance as guardrails, not gates. Experience making security, compliance, or cost a property of the platform rather than a tax on teams — policy as code, automated remediation, spend attributed to the team that spent it. Observability and cost, built in by default. Every service born instrumented and attributed — dashboards and alerts live from day one, spend visible to the team that owns it, and telemetry an agent can reason over whether the question is a 2 a.m. incident or an unexplained jump in spend. The agent-native platform. Typed, discoverable capabilities that people and agents call the same way, through the same gates and the same audit trail. Agents do the toil and bring the proof; humans keep the judgment. Very few product managers get to design this layer right now — you d be one of them. The opinion. You set the point of view. This is an organization ready for someone to say this is how we build here and then back it up with something engineers genuinely want to use. What we re looking for 8 years building infrastructure, platform, or developer tools at SaaS scale — with at least one platform you can point at and say I built that, here s who used it and why. You ve been an engineer, architect, SRE, or in DevRel. Close enough to the work that you could do it yourself. Hands-on depth across the modern stack — Kubernetes, IaC, CI/CD, GitOps, secrets — and opinions about which layers deserve abstraction and which deserve exposure. Real observability chops as part of that breadth: OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics and logging pipelines, and the aggregators around them. A track record of being opinionated in public — and the receipts. A path you chose, the people who pushed back, and what adoption looked like a year later. Plugged in outside your own walls — CNCF, platform-engineering communities, the rooms where this is actually being figured out. A working view of how agentic development changes what a platform has to guarantee. Not we should add AI. The temperament to sit with a skeptical senior engineer, understand their architecture, and co-create the fix. Repeatedly. Additional Information Base Pay Range: 198,240.00 - 272,580.00 USD Annual This role may also be eligible for Equity Compensation and/or Bonus Incentive Compensation. Procore is committed to offering competitive, fair, and commensurate compensation. Actual compensation will be based on a candidate’s job-related skills, experience, education or training, and location. For Los Angeles County (unincorporated) Candidates: Procore will consider for employment all qualified applicants, including those with arrest or conviction records, in accordance with the requirements of applicable federal, state, and local laws, including the City of Los Angeles’ Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, and the California Fair Chance Act. A criminal history may have a direct, adverse, and negative relationship on the following job duties, potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment: 1. appropriately managing, accessing, and handling confidential information including proprietary and trade secret information, as well as accessing Procore s information technology systems and platforms; 2. interacting with and occasionally having unsupervised contact with internal/external customers, stakeholders, and/or colleagues; and 3. exercising sound judgment.
