is looking for a ***Lead Technical Product Manager*** to drive the execution and evolution of **Catalyst**, BigCommerce's next-generation storefront architecture powered by Next.js, React, and the Storefront GraphQL 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, TypeScript 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: TypeScript, React, Next.js (App Router, RSC, streaming), and Node.js* Strong understanding of GraphQL 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.

Positioning, pricing, packaging, docs, onboarding — it's all yours. No detail is too small* **Outcomes over activities.** We don't measure success by how many meetings you attended or docs you wrote. We measure it by whether the product is winning* **Be technical.** You don't need to know everything, but you need to be willing to dig in and figure it out. Read the code. Run the product. Understand the architecture* **Communicate with precision.** Write clearly, write often, and make every word countThe position can be fully remote but there is a preference for on-site/hybrid in Austin, TX or Atlanta, GA.
