About the role
- The ecosystem spans the Storefront GraphQL API, a versioned SDK framework, a Reference Theme, Checkout modernization, B2B integration, Native Hosting on Cloudflare Workers, and a Visual Builder integration.
- You need to be as comfortable reading code as you are writing a roadmap - able to run the product locally, open a PR when something needs fixing, and go deep on technical decisions without waiting for someone to explain them.
- That doesn't mean you know everything, it means you're willing to go figure it out.
Responsibilities
- Own the roadmap for your assigned product lanes and contribute to the broader Catalyst strategy alongside senior product leadership, ensuring your work converges into a coherent whole
- Prioritize the execution path within your areas by making smart trade-offs - balancing developer experience improvements, feature support, hosting infrastructure, and architectural modernization against finite team capacity
- Help drive the Native Hosting product from alpha through GA - including CLI experience, deployment architecture, custom domain assignment, usage metering, and pricing
- Support monetization strategy and product growth drivers for Native Hosting and the broader Catalyst ecosystem
- Track KPIs and monitor performance against goals: live storefronts, GMV, churn rate, reported bugs, MRR, and partner sentiment
- Build dashboards, living reports, and automations to make metrics self-serve and scale your time
- Identify potential issues early and help develop contingency plans
- Ensure APIs, SDKs, and documentation are structured so that AI coding agents can build on the platform effectively
- Drive Developer Excellence
- Help build SDK strategies that ensure consistency while respecting language and framework idioms
Requirements
- 3+ years of technical product management experience, with at least 1 year focused on developer platforms, SDKs, APIs, or framework-level products
- Experience with ecommerce platforms, headless commerce, or composable architecture patterns
- Familiarity with visual builder / CMS products and their integration into developer frameworks
- Experience with API monetization and usage-based pricing models
- The product experience starts when someone first hears about Catalyst and doesn't stop until they're live in production.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with edge computing platforms, serverless architecture, or infrastructure products - ideally Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, KV, and R2
- Experience contributing to complex, multi-team technical initiatives from concept through execution
Skills
- Welcome to the Agentic Commerce Era
- Understand and monitor the competitive landscape - Shopify Hydrogen, Vercel Commerce, and the broader composable commerce ecosystem
- Champion developer experience as a primary competitive advantage - targeting fast time to live storefront
Compensation
- The national base salary range for this role is posted above in this job post.
- Final compensation will be determined based on factors such as relevant experience, skills, qualifications and geographic location.
- We also consider internal equity to help ensure fair and consistent pay practices across our teams.
- Where applicable, this role may also be eligible for variable compensation (such as bonus or commission), equity, and benefits in accordance with local policies.
- Details will be shared during the hiring process.
- We are committed to equitable and transparent pay practices that align to market data, internal equity, and individual contribution.
- Our platform currently serves tens of thousands of developers globally, processing billions of dollars in merchant revenue annually.
Benefits
- You'll own execution across several of these areas and partner with senior product leadership on the overall vision.
Company info
- Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders to keep your engineering team set up for success. Help frame cross-team work within a unified narrative so that what customers see as "the Catalyst Roadmap" reflects the full picture
- Build relationships with customers and partners to gather feedback. Engage directly with partners, agencies, and merchants - validate priorities and set realistic expectations
- Catalyst is the architectural forcing function moving BigCommerce toward a public-API-first, composable commerce platform - and you'll be a core part of it.
