Are you passionate about building the next generation of infrastructure for the future 100 million developers? Are you excited to define the products that AI-native companies will use to build, scale, and operate agents in production?DigitalOcean is entering a pivotal moment as we build infrastructure for the agentic future. Agents will change how software is built, deployed, operated, and scaled. Developers will need infrastructure that lets them move from local development to cloud execution, from short-running tasks to long-horizon workflows, and from experimental prototypes to reliable production systems.

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager for Agentic AI Infrastructure to define and own the product strategy for a new generation of managed agent infrastructure products. This role will shape one or more products like Action Gateway, Inference Router, and related services that make it simple for developers to run, scale, and operate agents in the cloud.This is a rare opportunity to help define a new product category at DigitalOcean and build the infrastructure layer that agent-native companies will depend on.

• Shape the developer experience: Build intuitive APIs, CLIs, docs, examples, and workflows that let developers bring their existing harnesses and agent frameworks to DigitalOcean with minimal friction.
