*Scribd | Lead Product Manager, AI Developer Platform | US, Canada | REMOTE*

Scribd, Inc. is on a mission to advance human understanding. Our four products — Scribd®, Slideshare®, Everand™, and Fable — help billions of people across the globe move beyond access and into insight, application, and expertise. We're a YC '06 company — one of the oldest still around — running one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites, serving 200M+ unique visitors a month with 2M+ paying subscribers.

I'm hiring a PM to own our *AI Developer Platform* — the internal product 200+ engineers build on every day. The platform spans the full agentic stack: the tools in each engineer's hands (Claude Code), a plugin marketplace and a library of skills that extend them, an internal app platform and agent runtime that teams build on, and the evals, canonical context, and conventions that make agents reliable across a polyglot codebase (Ruby, Go, TypeScript, Python; AWS/Databricks). You'll own the product strategy for developer experience and how we measure it, partnering directly with the Developer Platform and Data Platform engineering teams who build the underlying capabilities.

We're looking for a highly technical PM — quite possibly a former engineer — who is genuinely passionate about how developer platforms are evolving in the age of AI. You've shipped real products with modern agentic primitives (agents, evals, tool use, MCP, plugins/skills), and you can hold your own with engineers in technical discussions. This is the first PM seat at Scribd pointed inward, in a brand-new domain with no playbook to inherit. Reports to me (Director, Developer Platform).

Friendly, people-first, engineering-driven culture with competitive salary, great benefits, and real work-life balance.

Says REMOTE, but you have to be in commuting range of a handful of cities, so maybe not actually remote?
