Principal Product Manager, Graph

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.
