Product Owner, DevX and AI — Shop Builder

About the role

You own the product roadmap for the DevX and AI team. Your core responsibility is partner-facing prioritization: which APIs get built first, in what shape, and for whom.

That means staying close to the developers and publishers who build on Shop Builder — headless partners integrating our catalog and payments into custom frontends, agencies and studios building game commerce experiences, and professional services teams delivering custom work for publishers. You understand what's slowing them down, translate fixes into a sequenced roadmap, and make sure the team is always building toward the highest-leverage outcome.

You'll work alongside a principal engineer, tech lead, engineers, and an AI designer, and coordinate across product teams covering payments, auth, live ops, and catalog. The roadmap spans foundational developer infrastructure and AI features — including agents that build and deploy full storefronts end-to-end, and AI-generated custom blocks inside the platform editor.

What you'll do

• Own the roadmap. Decide what gets built, in what order, and why. Maintain a clear rationale the team and stakeholders can rely on.
• Represent developers. Engage directly with partners, agencies, and the teams who build on Shop Builder's APIs. Surface their friction and translate it into product requirements.
• Define API shape and scope. Collaborate with engineers to specify what each API surface exposes, what it withholds, and what format developers and agents expect.
• Coordinate across teams. The APIs this team ships depend on teams across Xsolla, including payments, auth, catalog, and live ops. You own those relationships and keep them moving.
• Set the definition of done. Documentation, evals, developer experience quality, and partner feedback are part of shipping — not afterthoughts.

What we're looking for

You bring 4+ years of product experience, with meaningful time spent on developer-facing products, APIs, SDKs, developer tooling, or platforms where other builders are your customer. You have a software development background, with time writing and shipping code to production systems. You understand what makes a developer experience work, and you hold that standard in specs, reviews, and tradeoff conversations.

This role is for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of developer experience: reading and debating API contracts, sweating the details of an SDK interface, understanding why a CLI flow breaks down, and finding the friction points developers hit before they say anything.

You're comfortable with a fast-moving domain. AI-native development is changing quickly, and you'll need to make good prioritization calls without waiting for the picture to fully settle.

You think in systems. The decisions made here, which APIs ship first, which formats are supported, which surfaces are exposed, shape the platform for years. You understand second-order consequences and can articulate your reasoning clearly to engineering and business leadership.

Experience with AI-native developer workflows (MCP, agents, LLM-integrated tooling) is a meaningful advantage. This team builds for AI as well as human developers.
