Product Manager - Development Environments

Job Overiew

For developers building software products on Arm, integration of tools for code generation, modelling, debug, and performance analysis into commonly used editors is crucial for productivity. The development environment is central to product suites such as Arm Keil MDK, and Arm’s ecosystem partners also depend on quality tooling for their customers. Increasingly, developers configure their own development environment rather than use an IDE, an approach that Arm encourages and facilitates. Arm focuses on tools that are relevant to languages and libraries that interface to the architecture or facilitate connectivity to Arm-based devices.

Your mission:

You will lead the product management for Arm’s development environment integrations, focusing on Microsoft Visual Studio Code extensions, but also taking a wider responsibility to discover where we need to create developer value in other editors.

Collaborating closely with our engineering and user experience teams, you will define the product strategy and roadmap. You’ll also coordinate with product marketing colleagues to position editor and IDE tools for developers in Arm’s key markets, including infrastructure, mobile, embedded and automotive.

By understanding the command line tools and utilities available across Arm and the wider industry, you’ll devise appropriate integrations, prioritising them according to developer needs. You’ll help to guide the engineering team on daily priorities and become an authority in our editor-based tools.

Responsibilities:

Product management: Define the vision, mission, strategy, and roadmap for development environment support. Work with lead partners and developers to ensure that you’re delivering a roadmap that brings value to the end user. You will also be responsible for product ownership.

Problem discovery: Create a clear framing and justification for the most important problems that should be addressed to transform the development experience. Coordinate with Arm’s user experience team on regular developer testing.

Partnership & collaboration: Work across Arm, our partnership and wider developer communities to nurture collaboration, build trust, and encourage engagement.

Innovation & continuous improvement: Step forward and bring your ideas. Be prepared to embrace ideas from others. Be ready and quickly adapt to changing dynamics and feedback.

"Nice to Have" skills and experience:

• Degree or equivalent experience in a relevant subject, such as electronic engineering or computer science.
• Perhaps you have worked as a software engineer or closely with an engineering team who use editors or IDEs every day.
• You’re the kind of product manager who gets hands-on with your own product and are well versed in agile development.
• Use of analytical tools such as Tableau, Google Analytics or Microsoft Azure Analytics.

Functional Knowledge:

• Product management experience in creating software products and technology.
• Experience working across multiple organisations and engineering functions to develop and deploy technology.
• Background in cultivating developer communities and a track record in finding and connecting with individual developers.

People:

• Outstanding communications skills, and ability to communicate appropriately with a diverse set of audiences at all levels of the organization.
• Highly collaborative, inspires and motivates individuals in disparate groups to align around shared goals and strategic priorities.
• Comfortable in proactively tackling ambiguity and leading others through a changing landscape with shifting priorities.
• Demonstrable experience that you can lead across boundaries, and without organisational authority.

Continuous Improvement:

• Demonstrated success in encouraging a culture of innovation, learning and continuous improvement.

In Return:

This will be a fast paced environment with opportunities to flex your strategic and innovative thinking muscles. You’ll be well supported to grow your knowledge and capabilities, with extensive opportunities to broaden your network across Arm!

Join us in this great opportunity to shape the future of our technology ecosystems by driving the adoption of ground-breaking technologies and empowering developers to create innovative applications based on Arm!
