About the role
We're hiring a Product Manager to lead the Fusion roadmap — the future of dbt Labs' intellectual property and a critical driver of product-led growth.

This role is co-located with our Fusion engineering team in the US to accelerate execution, strengthen prioritization, and ensure tight alignment across product, engineering, and platform teams. You'll bridge open source product strategy with technical delivery and business impact, translating strategic investments into shipped features that drive the Fusion PLG motion.

- Contribute hands-on to the dbt Core / Fusion codebases, including code reviews, documentation, and small feature implementations
- Collaborate with OSS strategy leads, platform PM peers, and cross-functional stakeholders to deliver a unified roadmap
What success looks like
- Shipping net-new Fusion features on a predictable quarterly cadence
- Measurable contribution to Fusion PLG growth metrics, including identification and monetization of local dbt deployments
- Hands-on contributions to dbt Core and Fusion code bases, including merged PRs and meaningful improvements to the open source codebase
- Strong execution and alignment across the Fusion engineering team

- 5+ years of product management experience in technical domains such as developer tooling, data platforms, or open source software
- Strong grasp of system architectures, particularly for local deployments and how they scale to enterprise use cases

- Ability to bridge technical delivery with business impact, translating features into revenue and growth metrics
- Experience working with engineering teams to define, prioritize, and ship complex technical features
- Strong communication skills with empathy for open source contributors and enterprise users alike
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks
- Background in plugin architectures, extensibility systems, or platform ecosystems
