About The Role
We are seeking an API Product Manager with 1-3 years of product management experience, including direct API product management experience, to own the developer experience across our API products-from discovery and access through onboarding, testing, production launch, and ongoing adoption. This is a full-time individual contributor role.
The APIs offered by VantageScore serve external developers, enterprise customers, data partners, and internal teams. You will partner closely with Engineering, Design, Customer Success, Support, Security, Legal/Compliance, and GTM teams to deliver complete documentation, intuitive self-service workflows, dependable sandbox and testing environments, consistent API behavior, and actionable error handling.
Success in this role will be reflected in lower integration friction, reduced long-term support costs, stronger product adoption and retention, and improved developer and customer NPS.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end developer onboarding and self-service integration workflows for external developers, enterprise customers, data partners, and internal teams, including access requests, credentials, authentication, first successful API call, testing, production readiness, launch, and ongoing adoption.

• Establish and promote API product standards for resource naming, schemas, authentication, pagination, rate limits, idempotency, versioning, backward compatibility, deprecation, and error responses.

• Ensure documentation completeness and API consistency by embedding documentation, developer-usability, and error-handling reviews into the product development and release process.

• Monitor the developer journey and relevant product signals-including onboarding completion, usage, error patterns, support contacts, retention, and NPS-to identify friction and prioritize improvements.

• Analyze support tickets, developer feedback, documentation searches, usage patterns, and failure data to identify friction, prioritize improvements, and reduce long-term support costs.

• Lead research and usability testing with external developers, enterprise customers, data partners, and internal API consumers; translate findings into clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and outcomes.

• Coordinate API launches and changes across Engineering, Support, Customer Success, Sales, Marketing, Security, and Compliance, including release communications and migration readiness.
