Product Manager, Developer Ecosystem

We are looking for a Staff Product Manager to lead Reddit's Builder Ecosystem product strategy. This person will define the roadmap for how Reddit moves from a developer-only ecosystem to a broader builder ecosystem where AI-assisted and no-code creation become first-class parts of the platform.

The role spans developer growth, creator onboarding, AI-assisted building, app quality, ecosystem incentives, platform capabilities, app marketplace strategy, operational tooling, feature adoption, and new builder categories.

This is a high-ambiguity platform role with direct business, product, and community impact. The right PM will be able to bridge two worlds: they should understand the needs of serious developers and platform engineers, while also having strong conviction that Reddit can unlock a much larger wave of builders by making creation more accessible, guided, AI-native, and outcome-oriented.

What You'll Do

• Define the product strategy for Reddit's Developer Ecosystem, including the transition from code-first developers to a broader base of AI-assisted creators.

• Own the roadmap for developers.reddit.com as the primary builder portal, including onboarding, docs, app management, analytics, review status, feature access, education, examples, templates, and AI-assisted creation entry points.

• Lead strategy for AI-assisted app creation, including prompt-to-app workflows, AI building tools, no-code or low-code experiences, reusable templates, generated scaffolds, and systems that help creators turn ideas into useful Reddit-native apps.

• Build the product approach for an App Marketplace that helps users, moderators, communities, and internal teams discover high-quality apps, games, agents, tools, and community experiences.

• Improve app review and ecosystem operations through tooling, automation, and AI-assisted workflows, including LLM-powered app review, policy checks, quality signals, and reviewer efficiency.

• Partner with Engineering to prioritize core platform capabilities and performance improvements such as webhooks, webviews, APIs, SDKs, tooling, observability, and other primitives builders need to create reliable apps.

• Drive more successful, retentive, and popular apps and games by identifying best practices, improving templates, shaping incentives, and creating clearer paths from idea to launch to growth.

• Identify and support new creator and developer categories

• Partner with internal teams such as Contribution, Community Builders, Games, Search, Recommendations, Safety, and Ads to help them launch new functionality through the developer ecosystem.

• Define and improve feature adoption programs so builders understand, test, and successfully use new platform capabilities.

• Work with developer relations to establish the measurement system for the ecosystem, including weekly active developers/creators, NPS/CSAT, app launches, app retention and more

• Create clear frameworks for when Reddit should build platform primitives, launch templates, fund builders, partner with external teams, promote apps, or shut down low-quality or low-trust ecosystem behavior.

• Lead cross-functional alignment across Product, Engineering, DevRel, Community, Data, Safety, Legal, Policy, Support, BD, and senior leadership.

What We're Looking For

• Experience leading high-ambiguity platform, developer ecosystem, creator ecosystem, marketplace, gaming, AI tooling, or developer experience products.

• Strong product judgment for creation platforms: understanding what makes a platform powerful for advanced developers, approachable for new creators, trustworthy for communities, and worth sustained investment.

• Comfort with code, APIs, developer tools, technical platform tradeoffs, and engineering conversations, paired with strong conviction that AI-assisted and no-code creation will expand who can build on Reddit.

• Ability to reason across multiple sides of the ecosystem: developers, creators, users, moderators, communities, internal teams, partners, and Reddit's business priorities.

• Experience improving developer or creator onboarding, docs, portals, SDKs, APIs, marketplaces, app review, app distribution, AI creation tools, or app-building workflows.

• Strong analytical judgment and comfort defining metrics for ecosystem health, builder productivity, app quality, retention, distribution, and business impact.

• Ability to partner deeply with Engineering on platform capabilities, performance, reliability, primitives, observability, and build-vs-buy decisions.

• Strong product sense for apps, games, agents, content creation tools, community-native experiences, and the kinds of lightweight software that should exist inside Reddit communities.

• Comfort working with AI-assisted creation tools, LLM-based workflows, prompt-to-app systems, or other emerging ways of helping more people build software.

• Excellent written communication and decision frameworks that help teams make crisp investment decisions in ambiguous spaces.
