Meet the team!

Today, we have around 200 engineers at Preply, with plans to grow the team by another 100 engineers this year, making the Platform Tribe a critical enabler of our next phase of growth.
As Staff Platform Product Manager, You'll own the product strategy for platform capabilities that reduce developer friction, harden reliability, and compress delivery speed. As Platform becomes the foundation for Preply's agentic SDLC transformation, you'll define what "platform as a product" means at agent-scale — not just for engineers, but for the fleet of AI agents now writing and shipping our code.
The role focuses on defining and evolving paved paths used by engineering teams, translating engineering constraints into clear product decisions, and measuring and reducing developer friction. You will also drive the adoption of platform capabilities and navigate hard trade-offs between flexibility and standardization.

Maintain product charters for platform products, including users, problem statements, non-goals, and success metrics
Define and own the vision, roadmap, and OKRs for core platform capabilities
Identify and prioritize developer pain points using qualitative and quantitative signals with the focus on impact
Translate platform needs into clear product requirements and priorities
Partner with engineering to evaluate technical trade-offs and solutions, focusing on scalable platform capabilities rather than custom solutions for individual teams Drive adoption of platform standards across teams
Define and track success metrics such as developer productivity, reliability, and cost efficiency
Align platform investments with company growth and scaling goals
Run discovery through developer interviews, Dev Experience surveys, support interruptions, incident reviews, and platform metrics (e.g. DORA, CI/CD reliability)
Lead migrations and deprecations with empathy, clarity, and consistency
Work closely with EMs and Staff+ engineers, spending most of your time embedded with engineering teams
What you need to succeed:
Strong product thinking combined with technical literacy in software engineering, developer tooling, or systems
Experience working with highly technical internal products (platforms, tooling, infra, or developer-facing systems)
Ability to operate effectively in ambiguity and conflicting priorities
Proven ability to challenge priorities and drive alignment across internal stakeholders
