You've owned an internal developer platform, infrastructure product, or developer tools product at scale before - not as a supporting PM, but as the strategic owner. You've driven adoption across skeptical engineering teams, managed platform roadmaps with 20+ consuming teams, and made the hard prioritization calls when everything was on fireDeep technical fluency. You're comfortable in architecture discussions around Kubernetes, IAM, CI/CD, cloud networking, database connectivity, and infrastructure-as-code. You've worked closely enough with infrastructure and platform engineers to earn their respect - not by writing code, but by understanding constraints well enough to make decisions they trust. When an architect says, 'we can't do that because of IAM boundaries,' you know what that means and can propose alternativesExecutive-level communication and presence. You've been the person in the room with VPs and CTOs representing a platform organization. You know how to frame tradeoffs so leadership can make decisions, how to say no to a priority without creating enemies, and how to own a narrative across multiple stakeholder groups with competing interests. This isn't a skill you're developing - it's one you bringA track record of operating in complexity. You've juggled concurrent program migrations, multi-cloud strategies, security/compliance constraints, and cross-org dependencies before. You don't need someone to hand you a prioritized backlog - you build one, defend it, and adjust it when reality shiftsHands-on experience with Kubernetes, Terraform, Helm, or similar infrastructure toolingDirect experience with engineering patterns spanning APIs, cloud networking, data lake architectures, and AI agents and integrations built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP)Background in financial services, healthcare, or other regulated industries where compliance and cybersecurity are embedded in every product decisionExperience leading through organizational change - platform consolidation, team restructuring, or post-acquisition integrationBenefitsMedicalDentalVision401kPTO/paid sick leaveEmployee stock purchase planCompany OverviewFirst American provides financial services through its Title Insurance and Services segment and its Specialty Insurance segment.
