Staff Product Manager

Life at Plume At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale.

We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data.

With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers, the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers.

And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day. Role Description: As Staff Product Manager, API Developer Ecosystem, you will own the vision, strategy, and success of Plume’s API gateway platform and the developer ecosystem built on top of it. This includes defining and driving the roadmap for USP (TR-369) and TR-181 data model–based interfaces, API gateway architecture, and the tooling that enables ISP and third-party developers to build, test, and deploy integrations at scale across millions of connected homes.

You’ll be equal parts WiFi domain expert, standards authority, platform product leader, and developer advocate—someone who can author and review data model schemas, shape git-based cookbook workflows for partner onboarding, and rally cross-functional teams to deliver world-class developer experiences. You’ll be the founding force behind Plume’s external developer ecosystem, establishing the programs, documentation, and community that turn our API gateway into an open platform ISPs and their technology partners build on. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a technical product leader who bridges deep WiFi, protocol, and data-model expertise with the ability to build thriving developer communities—someone equally comfortable analyzing 802.
