About Prefect

Orchestrate workflows with Prefect. Connect AI agents to your tools and data with Horizon. Open-source foundations, production-ready platforms. Backed by Bessemer.

About the role

Drive product decisions for shared surfaces across our products such as where certain enterprise features live and what consolidated auth and billing will look like. You will work with product leads (typically Engineering Directors) to align each product's roadmap to the company vision. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 10+ years in product, with real product management experience at the leadership level — you've owned multi-team roadmaps, driven tough prioritization decisions and shipped through others without direct authority over them
  • You've operated in start-ups and engineering-led orgs. You know how to carry product weight through influence, without a PM org or a reporting line over the people building
  • You synthesize across domains. Multi-product portfolios, platform/product tension, or post-acquisition integration experience is a strong signal
  • Deep familiarity with the modern data stack, orchestration, or developer tools. Bonus for hands-on experience with agentic systems or MCP
  • You've made other people better at product
More about this role

Our Vision: Prefect will define automation for the context era.

Our Mission: Curate an intelligent context layer that delivers the right information at the right time.

Prefect builds automation for an unpredictable world. The last decade of automation was about protecting workflows from unpredictability; in the agentic era, unpredictability is the point.

In August 2026, Prefect and Dagster, competitors for eight years, joined forces to build the next generation of automation infrastructure. Today, our ecosystem includes Dagster, the data platform; Prefect, the agent platform; and FastMCP, the leading open-source developer framework for the MCP ecosystem. Together, our open-source and commercial products are trusted by Fortune 500 companies, data innovators, and high-growth technology companies around the world.

We think of our culture as the operating system of the company. We’ve carefully created a supportive, high-performance environment that empowers our team to do the best work of their careers, have meaningful impact, and continue growing...
