You will own parts of the Enterprise MCP roadmap for Workato's AI control plane. You will shape how enterprise customers expose tools, data, and workflows to AI agents through the gateway, governance, and runtime layer.

What you will do

• Drive the roadmap for one or more MCP gateway pillars: authentication and identity, policy enforcement, observability, or runtime performance.
• Define how MCP servers are designed, published, versioned, and governed across customer environments.
• Set quality bars and build frameworks such as tiering, certification, and server design best practices.
• Translate enterprise security, compliance, and audit requirements into shippable product.
• Work directly with CISO and platform teams at design-partner customers.
• Write PRDs for engineering and run customer design partner programs.
• Partner with engineering leads on architecture decisions.
• Partner with GTM on positioning, enablement, and enterprise deals.
• Work with analyst relations on category narratives for Gartner and Forrester.
• Maintain a point of view on the MCP landscape, including open-source projects, hyperscaler offerings, and competing platforms.

Required qualifications

• 4 to 5 years of product management experience.
• At least 2 years on API platforms, API gateways, integration platforms, or developer infrastructure.
• Deep technical knowledge of API management and gateway architecture, including rate limiting, routing, policy enforcement, and observability.
• Working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, OIDC, and modern identity patterns such as authorization code flow, client credentials, DCR, and token exchange.
• Track record of shipping technical products to enterprise customers.
• Experience writing PRDs and running design partner programs.
• Strong written communication for executive briefings, developer-facing content, and strategy documents.

Nice to have

• Experience with AI Gateway, LLM proxy, or agent runtime products.
• Hands-on familiarity with MCP as a spec, such as building or integrating an MCP server.
• Experience with prompt injection, tool poisoning, or agent identity.
• Experience at an iPaaS, API management vendor, or AI infrastructure company.
• Analyst relations experience, such as with a Gartner MQ or Forrester Wave.
• Conference speaking or technical writing in the API or AI infrastructure communities.

Benefits

• A flexible, trust-oriented culture.
• A vibrant and dynamic work environment.
• A range of benefits inside and outside of work.
