About the role
Fivetran and dbt Labs are bringing together two industry-leading companies with a shared mission: helping organizations unlock the full value of their data. Together, we're delivering the data infrastructure layer that helps organizations move, transform, and trust their data - from the moment data moves, through every transformation, to the context teams and AI systems rely on. Fivetran helps organizations automate data movement across the systems, clouds, engines, and tools they rely on. dbt Labs pioneered analytics engineering, helping teams transform data into reliable, governed insights. Together, we support thousands of organizations as they build a trusted foundation for analytics, AI, and better business decisions. As we bring our teams and technology together, we're building on the strengths of both companies while continuing to deliver the products and experiences our customers know and trust. It's an exciting time to join us: we're creating a company with the scale, talent, and technology to help more organizations put their data to work with greater speed, confidence, and impact. During this transition period, you may see references to both Fivetran and dbt Labs throughout our recruiting process as we integrate our teams, systems, and career sites. The way data practitioners write, debug, and ship dbt code is changing fast - and you'll be the person shaping what that experience looks like at the frontier of AI-assisted development. As the Product Manager for Developer Experience, you will own the end-to-end developer workflow in dbt Cloud: the Studio IDE , Developer Agent (our AI coding assistant), the Cloud CLI , and the dbt VS Code Extension . Together, these surfaces are the primary daily touchpoint for tens of thousands of data practitioners worldwide - from seasoned analytics engineers writing complex SQL to newer practitioners who rely on AI to help them move faster and with more confidence. This role sits at the intersection of developer tooling and leading-edge AI. You will work in close partnership with the Fusion team - the engine powering dbt's next-generation compilation, intelligence, and platform capabilities - to ensure that our developer surfaces fully leverage Fusion's capabilities and that developer needs are represented in the Fusion roadmap. The tight feedback loop between Developer Experience and Fusion is core to how dbt Cloud will evolve, and you'll be a key architect of that relationship. This is a role for someone who has thought deeply about what makes IDEs and developer tools great, and who is excited to reimagine those workflows in an era where AI can lower the floor for new practitioners while raising the ceiling for experts. This is a full-time position based out of our Oakland office. Our hybrid work model offers a blend of remote flexibility and in-person collaboration, including two days in the office each week to connect and build as a team. In This Role, You Will Own the developer experience roadmap across Studio IDE, Developer Agent, Cloud CLI, and the VS Code Extension - from near-term iteration to long-term vision. Partner deeply with the Fusion team to align on capabilities, surface Fusion-powered intelligence (SQL comprehension, compute, context) through developer-facing UX, and co-define the boundary between platform and product. Lead AI-native product development for Developer Agent - defining what a best-in-class AI coding assistant looks like for the full spectrum of dbt users, from expert analytics engineers to practitioners who are newer to code. This includes agentic workflows, context-aware suggestions, natural language interactions, and guided development experiences that meet users where they are. Drive IDE and tooling strategy informed by a deep understanding of modern development environments - think about what VS Code, Cursor, and other leading IDEs get right, and translate those instincts to the dbt Cloud context. Define and execute cross-functional collaboration with engineering, design, and GTM teams to ship high-quality developer experiences on a predictable cadence. Build tight feedback loops with the dbt community and enterprise customers to continuously improve developer tools, with particular attention to power users and technical practitioners. Conduct market and user research to understand the competitive landscape for developer tooling and AI-assisted development, and bring sharp external perspective into the roadmap. Align developer experience investments to broader company goals, product-led growth metrics, and the Fusion platform strat
