We're looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of growing the Firefly Graph ecosystem. Graph is a highly technical product used to build, visualize, implement, and share complex workflows through graph-based systems. Firefly Graph powers both an advanced node-based editor and downstream, simplified experiences built on top of those graphs.

What You’ll Do

• Establish the long-term vision and strategy for the Graph platform, encompassing the plugins, APIs, extensibility, and interoperability across products and surfaces for both internal teams and customers.
• Define what “great” looks like for graph-based authoring across beginner, advanced, and expert users, including how it flows across power-user tooling and simplified downstream experiences.
• Lead discovery efforts to deeply understand user workflows, difficulties, and mental models in graph-based and agentic systems.
• Collaborate with design to build interaction patterns for node creation, connections, layouts, debugging, inspection, and working at scale.
• Collaborate closely with engineering to divide large, unclear problems into deliverable segments while maintaining architectural consistency.
• Act as a bridge between user needs and technical realities, setting clear outcomes while avoiding prescriptive implementation decisions.

Your Background

• 8–12+ years of product management experience, with significant ownership of complex, technical, or platform products.
• Strong systems thinking with the ability to reason about interconnected components, constraints, and emergent behavior.
• Empathy for power users and creators who depend on accuracy, rapidity, debuggability, and adaptability.
• Comfort working closely with highly technical engineering teams on performance-critical, architecture-heavy systems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially for complex and abstract concepts.

Bonus Points

• Background in developer tools, creative tools, game engines, VFX pipelines, ML tooling, data platforms, or automation systems.
• Experience with extensible platforms, plugin systems, SDKs, or scripting environments.
• Exposure to workflows powered by artificial intelligence, generative systems, or model orchestration tools.
