Cisco is revolutionizing how data and infrastructure connect and protect organizations in the AI era. They are seeking an Engineering Product Manager for Cloud Control Studio to lead the development experience for builders, ensuring a seamless transition from concept to production-grade applications.
Responsibilities:
- You own how builders create in Cloud Control Studio: how someone goes from a prompt to a running, production-grade app, whether they build it in Studio or bring their own coding agent
- Your scope spans both the free and the paid capabilities of that experience
- You shape the strategy for the experience and carry accountability for where it goes, working closely with engineering and the partners around you
- You own the commercial model: which capabilities are free, which are paid, and how the two fit together as builders move between them in whatever direction their work takes them
- You own monetization and partnerships, and you carry the number the way a general manager carries theirs
- You partner closely with the Developer Foundations team, feeding Studio's needs into the foundations roadmap, while staying accountable for the experience and the business rather than for the substrate beneath them
- You will be measured on outcomes that matter: how many builders reach a shipped app and how fast, adoption across both free and paid, revenue against commit, and the health of the ecosystem building on Studio
Requirements:
- 8+ years in product management or an equivalent discipline, including owning a product or experience end to end with accountability for both adoption and business or revenue outcomes
- Hands-on software engineering background. You have shipped production code and can earn the trust and respect of senior engineers on technical merits
- Concept to adoption. Demonstrated experience taking a product from concept to a shipping, widely adopted state with real commercial outcomes
- Domain depth: AI application platforms and app builders, including prompt-to-app or agentic app-generation products. Hands on experience using AI coding agents, and a feel for how AI is reshaping the way software gets built
- Commercial model design: owning pricing, packaging, and how free and paid capabilities fit together for a developer or platform product
- Partner ownership: comfort owning a major ecosystem or model-provider relationship end to end
- Coherence at the seams: experience unifying multiple product surfaces into one experience that feels like a single product
- Communication: excellent written and verbal communication, with the range to speak credibly to internal teams and external customers and stakeholders alike
