Lead Technical Product Manager

is looking for a
*** Lead Technical Product Manager
*** to drive the execution and evolution of
** Catalyst**, Big Commerce's next-generation storefront architecture powered by Next.js, React, and the Storefront Graph

QL API.
* Define and maintain the Catalyst roadmap across all product lanes, ensuring they converge into a coherent product strategy
* Define the vision for the product experience through sketches, mockups, prototypes, and written documentation
* Prioritize the execution path by making smart trade-offs — balancing developer experience improvements, feature support, hosting infrastructure, and architectural modernization against finite team capacity
* 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 automations to make metrics self-serve and scale your time
* Identify potential issues early and develop contingency plans
* Ensure APIs, SDKs, and documentation are structured so that AI coding agents can build on the platform effectively
* Champion developer experience as a primary competitive advantage — targeting fast time to live storefront
* Build comprehensive SDK strategies that ensure consistency while respecting language and framework idioms
* Design documentation architectures that serve both human developers and AI agents effectively
* Cultivate a thriving developer community through authentic engagement, technical content, and ecosystem partnerships
* 5+ years of technical product management experience, with at least 2 years focused on developer platforms, SDKs, APIs, or framework-level products
* Deep, hands-on fluency with modern front-end web technology:
Type Script, React, Next.js (App Router, RSC, streaming), and Node.js
* Strong understanding of Graph

QL API design — schema modeling, query patterns, and the tradeoffs of exposing platform capabilities through a public API surface
* Experience with edge computing platforms, serverless architecture, or infrastructure products — ideally Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, KV, and R2
* Demonstrated ability to take a complex, multi-team technical initiative from vision through phased execution to GA
* A pragmatic, iterative approach to execution: you break ambiguous problems into concrete deliverables with clear exit criteria
* Experience owning pricing, packaging, and go-to-market strategy for technical products — not just feature specs
* Comfort operating at the intersection of engineering, design, and go-to-market — you can write a technical RFC in the morning and a sales enablement brief in the afternoon
* Excellent written communication. Concise, precise, and high-signal. You'll be authoring developer documentation, strategy docs, roadmap materials, and release notes
* Experience with ecommerce platforms, headless commerce, or composable architecture patterns
* Familiarity with visual builder / CMS products and their integration into developer frameworks
* Experience building or managing developer CLI tools and scaffolding workflows.
* Background in developer relations, developer experience, or open-source product management
* Understanding of OAuth 2.0, JWT, and modern API security patterns
* Experience with API monetization and usage-based pricing models
* ** Own it end to end.
** The product experience starts when someone first hears about Catalyst and doesn't stop until they're live in production. Positioning, pricing, packaging, docs, onboarding — it's all yours. No detail…
