Product Owner, DevX and AI — Shop Builder

ABOUT YOU

We are looking for a Product Owner, DevX and AI who is developer-obsessed, systems-minded, and energized by building platforms that other builders rely on — to join our Shop Builder team. The best candidate will be someone who thrives in a fast-paced, highly collaborative, and exceptionally dynamic setting and is excited to own a roadmap that directly shapes how publishers and developers integrate, extend, and monetize through Xsolla.

Strong analytical skills and technical expertise are essential, along with experience in developer-facing products, APIs, SDKs, or platforms where other builders are your customer. The ability to translate developer friction into sequenced roadmap decisions and manage cross-functional dependencies will be key to your success in this role.

If you’re passionate about advancing developer experience and love building innovative API surfaces and AI-native tooling that give game developers the power to build and monetize however they want, we would love to hear from you!

What We’re Building

Shop Builder is Xsolla’s storefront platform, used by publishers and game developers to launch and operate game shops, from straightforward catalog and webshops to fully custom storefronts built headless on our backend. The platform is built around a core commitment: publishers can run their business how they want, with their brand, their frontend, and their integrations.

Delivering on that commitment requires a deep developer layer that enables our partners to monetize their games however they want to. The DevX and AI team owns the public APIs, documentation, and AI features that give developers, and AI agents, the full surface they need to customize and extend the platform. This team enables publishers to build what they need independently, and accelerates our own teams who deliver custom integrations for clients.

Responsibilities

• Own the roadmap. Decide what gets built, in what order, and why. Maintain a clear rationale the team and stakeholders can rely on.

• Represent developers. Engage directly with partners, agencies, and the teams who build on Shop Builder’s APIs. Surface their friction and translate it into product requirements.

• Define API shape and scope. Collaborate with engineers to specify what each API surface exposes, what it withholds, and what format developers and agents expect.

• Coordinate across teams. The APIs this team ships depend on teams across Xsolla, including payments, auth, catalog, and live ops. Own those relationships and keep them moving.

• Set the definition of done. Documentation, evals, developer experience quality, and partner feedback are part of shipping — not afterthoughts.

Qualifications & Skills

• 4+ years of product experience, with meaningful time spent on developer-facing products, APIs, SDKs, developer tooling, or platforms where other builders are your customer.

• Software development background, with time writing and shipping code to production systems. You understand what makes a developer experience work, and you hold that standard in specs, reviews, and tradeoff conversations.

• Genuine interest in the craft of developer experience: reading and debating API contracts, sweating the details of an SDK interface, understanding why a CLI flow breaks down, and finding the friction points developers hit before they say anything.

• Comfort with a fast-moving domain. AI-native development is changing quickly, and you’ll need to make good prioritization calls without waiting for the picture to fully settle.

• Systems thinking. You understand second-order consequences and can articulate your reasoning clearly to engineering and business leadership.

• Experience with AI-native developer workflows (MCP, agents, LLM-integrated tooling) is a meaningful advantage. This team builds for AI as a first-class user of the platform.

Why This Team

Publishers expect control. They want their storefront to reflect their brand, integrate with their stack, and adapt to how they operate. The developer surface this team owns is what makes that possible at scale.

AI is accelerating what’s possible here faster than most platforms are moving. Agents that can build and deploy a working webshop from a prompt are on the near-term roadmap. The team is well-positioned to lead this, and the PO role is central to making it land well.

You’ll join a team with real momentum, take on meaningful ownership quickly, and have direct visibility to engineering and business leadership.
