THE ROLE

We are looking for a Product Manager to lead our flagship GitKraken Desktop product - a cross-platform Git client used by millions of developers worldwide. This is a technical product role requiring either direct experience with developer workflows, Git, and version control systems, or a passion for quickly learning these technical domains. As the primary PM for GitKraken Desktop, you’ll have significant autonomy to shape both the product direction and user experience while driving business outcomes.
You’ll work closely with a dedicated Engineering team and designer to simplify complex Git operations and enhance development workflows for our users. Success in this role means understanding developer pain points and translating them into innovative solutions - you don’t need to be a developer yourself, but you should be comfortable in technical conversations and excited to learn. This role offers exposure to cutting-edge fields, including developer tooling and AI integration, positioning you at the intersection of two rapidly evolving technology domains.
The ideal candidate combines product vision and execution skills with curiosity about how developers work. Your decisions will directly impact millions of developers worldwide, with the opportunity to engage directly with our user community through research, interviews, and testing to ensure we’re solving real problems. This is an exciting opportunity to join a strong, technical product team while being part of a company that uniquely balances growth with profitability.
We are committed to having an inclusive and authentic work environment where unique perspectives, skills, and backgrounds are celebrated. We work hard to foster diversity in our workplace and encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. Even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements, don’t let self-filtering and imposter syndrome get in the way of a great fit. We would love to hear from you!
