About InabiaInabia Solutions & Consulting, Inc. is a technology consulting and talent solutions company supporting enterprise clients with software engineering, cloud, platform, integration, AI, and managed services. We are seeking a highly technical product leader to help define and deliver enterprise SDK and API capabilities for a complex customer-facing platform.Role OverviewThe Technical Program Manager - Enterprise SDK Integration will stand up and lead the end-to-end program for enterprise SDKs, APIs, developer tools, and integration capabilities. The TPM will drive program strategy, roadmap execution, technical workstreams, cross-team dependencies, release governance, launch readiness, and production operations while partnering with Product and Engineering on product vision and prioritization.
This role sits at the intersection of technical program leadership, SDK architecture, API-first platform design, enterprise integration, customer activation, and eCommerce delivery. The TPM will establish the program operating model, coordinate architecture and engineering execution, manage dependencies and risks, and drive alignment across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Commerce, Security, Customer Success, Operations, and executive stakeholders.
The ideal candidate combines strong product/program leadership with deep technical fluency. The successful candidate should understand the SDK technology stack, be comfortable engaging directly with software engineers and architects, and be capable of helping stand up an enterprise SDK program from strategy through launch and production operations.Key Responsibilities

Program Strategy, Roadmap, and Technical Execution

• Define and execute the product vision, strategy, roadmap, and operating model for SDKs, APIs, developer tools, and enterprise integration solutions.
• Own the SDK product vision, roadmap, and API surface area definition, including decisions around which enterprise workflows should be exposed programmatically.
• Prioritize SDK and API capabilities based on customer pain points, business objectives, technical feasibility, customer feedback, market demand, and platform readiness.
• Define the developer experience strategy to improve customer self-service, reduce implementation friction, and accelerate enterprise activation.
• Establish success metrics across adoption, activation, utilization, retention, onboarding success, integration completion time, and product usage growth.

SDK Development and Developer Experience

• Own the lifecycle of SDK products across multiple programming languages, platforms, enterprise personas, and deployment models.
• Partner with engineering teams on SDK architecture, client-library design, versioning, dependency management, release processes, backward compatibility, deprecation, and API-first product experiences.
• Bring sufficient software engineering and programming fluency to review technical approaches, understand implementation tradeoffs, and engage credibly in architecture and code-level discussions.
• Improve developer productivity through tooling, documentation, sample applications, reference implementations, implementation guides, technical playbooks, and developer support mechanisms.
• Drive API-first product design with predictable behavior, scalable integration patterns, strong error handling, observability, and enterprise-grade reliability.
• Define SDK capabilities supporting programmatic network management, activation workflows, lifecycle management, and bulk operations for multi-region or multi-site enterprise deployments.

Enterprise Integration and Platform Enablement

• Define integration frameworks supporting enterprise customers, partners, internal platform teams, and third-party connectivity models.
• Lead initiatives involving REST APIs, GraphQL services, event-driven architectures, authentication and identity management, cloud-native integrations, and third-party platform connectivity.
• Collaborate with Solution Architects, Engineering, Security, Compliance, and Architecture teams to create scalable, secure, enterprise-ready integration patterns.
• Drive API documentation, developer guides, infrastructure-as-code integration, and bulk API capabilities for enterprise deployments across regions and environments.
• Partner with commerce, catalog, entitlement, and billing teams to ensure SDK and API capabilities accurately represent product offers, service contracts, purchase flows, fulfillment channels, and downstream billing or orchestration requirements.

Customer Activation and Adoption

• Develop activation strategies that accelerate customer time-to-value and reduce dependency on manual support intervention.
• Define onboarding journeys, implementation guides, technical playbooks, adoption frameworks, and customer enablement materials.
• Monitor activation metrics and identify friction points in customer implementation workflows.
• Work with Customer Success, Professional Services, Solutions Architecture, and Engineering to improve adoption, implementation quality, and customer outcomes.
• Use customer and partner feedback to improve SDK usability, documentation clarity, integration reliability, and enterprise deployment success.

Cross-Functional Leadership and Program Execution

• Stand up and drive the SDK program operating model, including roadmap governance, workstreams, dependencies, milestones, release cadence, risk management, launch readiness, and executive reporting.
• Serve as the primary liaison across Product, Engineering, Architecture, Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Security, Compliance, Commerce, and Operations.
• Lead technical requirement gathering, feature prioritization, user story creation, release planning, and executive-level reporting.
• Coordinate dependencies across multiple engineering and platform teams, identify risks, escalate blockers, and drive resolution.
• Own the narrative for SDK readiness in business reviews, roadmap reviews, and launch-readiness discussions.
• Create clear written artifacts including business cases, product requirements, technical design summaries, release plans, and executive status updates.

Product Analytics and Continuous Improvement

• Establish KPIs for SDK adoption, API utilization, customer activation, onboarding success, integration completion time, reliability, and product usage growth.
• Use data-driven insights to optimize developer experience, customer activation, and enterprise implementation outcomes.
• Identify patterns in failed activations, integration delays, support escalations, reliability issues, and documentation gaps to inform roadmap priorities.

Security, Compliance, and Enterprise Readiness

• Partner with Security, Compliance, Architecture, and Engineering to ensure SDK and API capabilities meet enterprise-readiness requirements.
• Ensure solutions support secure authentication, authorization, identity management, role-based access, auditability, and account-level isolation.
• Ensure platform decisions account for enterprise risk, scalability, availability, access control, and customer data-protection expectations.
