** Catalyst**, Big Commerce's next-generation storefront architecture powered by Next.js, React, and the Storefront Graph

QL API.Big Commerce, part of the Commerce brand family, helps merchants increase sales at every stage of their growth. From small startups to mid-market businesses and large enterprises, we provide the leading e-commerce platform. Our customers can then concentrate on what's most important: growing their businesses. We enable our customers to build, innovate, and grow, collectively reshaping the e-commerce industry*.
* Our platform currently serves tens of thousands of developers globally, processing billions of dollars in merchant revenue annually. Catalyst is the architectural forcing function moving Big Commerce toward a public-API-first, composable commerce platform — and you'll be at the center of it. The ecosystem spans the Storefront Graph

QL API, a versioned SDK framework, a Reference Theme, Checkout modernization, B2B integration, Native Hosting on Cloudflare Workers, and a Visual Builder integration. You'll own the product vision and execution across all of them.

This is not a traditional PM role. You'll be designing Type Script SDK APIs, defining Graph

QL schema contracts, shaping the developer experience for a Next.js framework, and architecting a hosting product on Cloudflare's edge platform. 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.

* Define the public API surface for SDKs, including versioning semantics, Type Script interfaces, and developer-facing contracts
* Lead the modernization of adjacent product areas into native, API-first implementations within the Catalyst framework
* Drive the Native Hosting product from alpha through GA — including CLI experience, deployment architecture, custom domain assignment, usage metering, and pricing strategy
* Own monetization strategy and product growth drivers for Native Hosting and the broader Catalyst ecosystem
* Establish KPIs and monitor performance against goals: live storefronts, GMV, churn rate, reported bugs, MRR, and partner sentiment
* Understand and monitor the competitive landscape — Shopify Hydrogen, Vercel Commerce, and the broader composable commerce ecosystem
* Build dashboards, living reports, and…
