About the role:
Enova's Platform Product Management Team is seeking a Product Manager to own and drive the tools, services, and platforms that help our software engineers build and ship faster, including how we adopt AI across the software development lifecycle.
In this role, you will shape the product strategy for our internal developer platform, including our developer portal, on-demand environments, shared libraries, AI-powered developer tools, and the tooling that supports building, testing, securing, and deploying software. You'll treat engineers as your customers: you'll partner closely with the Developer Experience team, engineering teams across the company, and technology leadership to find friction in the development lifecycle, define solutions, and drive successful execution. You will also lead efforts to help engineers adopt AI tools safely and effectively, from AI coding assistants to internal AI agents and integrations. This is a highly collaborative position that requires strong product and project management skills and the ability to turn engineering needs into measurable improvements in developer productivity.
Responsibilities:
- Own the product lifecycle for developer platform capabilities, from discovery through delivery, adoption, and iteration
- Define and drive the strategy for AI adoption among engineers, including evaluating, piloting, and rolling out AI-powered developer tools and workflows
- Partner with engineering teams across the company to understand their workflows and pain points, and define product strategy for the developer platform
- Prioritize initiatives and manage a roadmap aligned to engineering productivity goals, security and reliability needs, and platform evolution
- Elicit, document, and validate requirements with the DevEx team, ensuring alignment with technical feasibility and scalable, maintainable solutions
- Drive adoption of platform tools and services through enablement, documentation, communication, and feedback loops with internal users
- Drive alignment across cross-functional teams, ensuring clarity on priorities, scope, and timelines
- Collaborate closely with engineers throughout development, making tradeoff decisions as needed
- Define and track developer experience metrics (e.g., adoption, environment spin-up time, build and deploy times, developer satisfaction), using data to inform decisions and continuous improvement
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience
- 3+ years of product management, technical program management, or business analysis experience, ideally with internal platforms, developer tools, or infrastructure products
- Working knowledge of the software development lifecycle and modern engineering practices, such as CI/CD, testing automation, containerized or cloud environments, and developer security tooling
- Experience gathering requirements directly from engineers or other technical users and validating solutions with them
- Strong ability to translate user needs into clear requirements and prioritize MVP solutions
- Experience working in Agile environments and tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence), with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced setting
- Proven ability to collaborate with and influence cross-functional stakeholders, including engineering, security, and technology leadership
- Experience with developer portals or internal developer platforms (e.g., Backstage)
- Strong ownership and execution skills, including creating product artifacts (e.g., requirements, process flows, test plans, roadmaps) and independently driving projects from concept through delivery
- Experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or integrating AI agents with internal tools and data sources
- Familiarity with generative AI and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., AI coding assistants, LLM-based agents), including their capabilities, limitations, and risks

Platform Product Manager Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a platform product manager in Illinois?
Platform product management in Illinois has no state-issued license or registration requirement, so the path runs through education and experience. Most hiring managers in Illinois expect a bachelor's degree in a technical or business field, followed by a role in product operations, program management, or software development before moving into a product manager title. Chicago's dense technology and financial services sector offers the most direct on-ramps, and completing a recognized product management certification can strengthen early applications.
Which companies hire platform product managers in Illinois?
Employers hiring platform product managers in Illinois right now include 84.51°, Abbott, and Ecolab, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Illinois's concentration of enterprise software, financial technology, and healthcare technology companies means demand is broad and not limited to a single industry.
Which Illinois cities have the most platform product manager jobs?
Chicago, Illinois, and Naperville have the most platform product manager openings in Illinois. Chicago leads by a wide margin because it is home to the largest concentration of enterprise technology companies, financial services firms, and healthcare platforms in the state, while Schaumburg and Naperville attract hiring from major corporate headquarters and technology campuses located in the northwest and western suburbs.
Are there remote platform product manager jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than most fields. Platform product management is a desk-based, collaboration-heavy role that translates well to distributed work. About 75% of platform product manager openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how broadly companies have adopted flexible arrangements for this function. Strategic and roadmap-focused responsibilities tend to be the most remote-friendly, while roles requiring close coordination with on-site engineering teams often require at least hybrid attendance.
How can I get hired as a platform product manager in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving from a closely adjacent role rather than applying directly to a platform product manager title. In Illinois, strong candidates come from software engineering, business analysis, technical program management, and UX research positions at technology and financial services companies. Large Chicago-area employers in fintech and enterprise software regularly bring in associate product managers through rotational programs or internal transfers. Building a portfolio that documents a product decision, roadmap artifact, or customer discovery project gives candidates a concrete edge at the interview stage.
