[Remote] Senior Product Manager, Developer Solutions
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. ZBD is building the financial operating system for the gaming economy, and they are seeking a Senior Product Manager to own their Developer Platform. This role involves managing APIs and SDKs, ensuring a seamless developer experience, and collaborating with various teams to drive the platform's success.
Responsibilities
- Own the vision, roadmap, and execution for ZBD's developer-facing platform with a focus on shipping quickly, iterating often, and a bias towards impact
- Define and evolve REST APIs and SDKs used across mobile, PC, and web. You'll set and uphold API standards: naming conventions, versioning, idempotency, backward compatibility, deprecation strategy, and error handling
- Partner closely with our Head of DevX to ensure documentation, onboarding flows, and tooling reflect best-in-class developer standards
- Collaborate with Payments and Compliance PMs to translate complex financial flows into clean, compliant developer primitives — abstracting the complexity without hiding the things developers actually need to know
- Engage directly with game developers and partners throughout the sales and onboarding cycle. You can hold your own in a technical conversation, translate what you hear into product decisions, and close the feedback loop fast
- Run structured pilot programs with early partners, collecting real integration feedback and identifying friction points before they become blockers
- Define and track platform health metrics including adoption, activation, time-to-first-transaction, integration success rate, API reliability, and revenue impact
- Navigate stakeholder environments across engineering, compliance, legal, sales, and fellow PMs, building alignment without losing momentum
Skills
- 6+ years of product management experience with direct ownership of commercial APIs or SDKs - external developer surfaces that drove real adoption, generated measurable revenue, and held up under production load
- Strong opinions about API design: you've got strong opinions about idempotency, error handling, versioning strategy, and what a good developer onboarding experience looks like. You've probably been annoyed by someone else's API contract
- Experience with payments or financial infrastructure at the API layer; you understand how transactions flow, where things break, and what a payment API should (and shouldn't) include
- A commercial instinct that runs alongside your technical one. You think about adoption, revenue, pricing, and what makes an API worth paying for
- Enough familiarity with gaming to have a point of view. You don't need to have shipped a AAA title, but you should understand how in-game payments work, why they're often poorly served by existing infrastructure, and what a better version could look like
- Technical credibility with engineers. You are the SME who champions our developer customer use cases - including ones they haven't thought of yet! You can read an API spec, catch the gaps in a schema, and thoughtfully engage on architecture decisions
- The ability to work within a platform structure where your surface is part of a larger system. You stay connected to what's being built around you and treat integration points as a first-class concern
- You've built or integrated monetization or payment systems directly into games. Whether that's a live-service rewards loop, a battle pass economy, a marketplace, or player payouts, you have opinions about what makes those integrations painful or elegant
- You've worked with platforms like Unity or Unreal as integration surfaces, and understand the constraints that come with shipping inside a game engine
- You've shipped in regulated industries and know how to maintain compliance guardrails while still executing quickly
- You have experience with cryptocurrency or blockchain-based payment systems
- You've owned API reliability targets or SLAs for production systems with real consequences when things go wrong
