Job Description
Senior Product Manager defining data orchestration across Zillow's platforms with a focus on applications and AI integration. Lead operational frameworks for secure access and usage of data.
Responsibilities:
- Own the Data Orchestration roadmap end-to-end across MCP Gateway and ZG Graph, defining clear problem statements, success metrics, and platform adoption targets
- Define and evolve the unified access model for how applications and AI agents interact with data and capabilities, spanning GraphQL, APIs, and AI tool invocation
- Enable Data Mesh adoption by defining and scaling domain-driven access patterns, aligning orchestration with domain models, lifecycle contracts, and cross-domain interoperability
- Establish and uphold the operational excellence bar for the orchestration layer, including availability, latency, observability, and incident response standards
- Define authentication, authorization, and access patterns that enable secure, scalable interaction across data, services, and AI-powered tools
- Design and operationalize governance models for access and orchestration, including lifecycle expectations, versioning standards, and ownership clarity across domains
- Create paved paths and platform primitives that reduce onboarding friction while preventing fragmented or unmanaged integration patterns
- Drive adoption of MCP Gateway and ZG Graph as the default access layer through structured rollouts, enablement, and measurable impact
- Use reliability, adoption, and governance metrics to continuously improve platform performance and prioritize platform hardening versus expansion
Requirements:
- 5+ years of product management experience, ideally building internal platforms, APIs, gateways, developer infrastructure, or data systems that support multiple teams
- Strong technical fluency in distributed systems, service-to-service communication, authentication patterns, APIs, and platform architecture concepts, with the ability to reason about reliability and security tradeoffs
- Proven ability to define platform strategy and operating models that scale beyond initial experimentation into production-grade infrastructure
- Demonstrated experience leading migrations, consolidations, or standardization efforts across fragmented systems
- Clear, structured communicator who can influence engineers and stakeholders through data, operational reasoning, and strong product judgment
- Comfortable driving behavioral change and adoption across multiple teams, balancing enablement with governance
- Able to operate in ambiguity and impose structure on complex, cross-functional infrastructure initiatives
- Excited to work in a highly collaborative environment where you partner closely with engineering, data science, AI, and product teams to deliver company-wide impact
Benefits:
- equity awards based on factors such as experience, performance and location
