# Product Owner API & SDK Platform

- **Company:** Octave Intelligence
- **Location:** Gent, Belgium
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Computer-Aided Design, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), Computing Platforms, Programming Tools, BricsCAD

## About the Role

* 5+ years of product ownership or product management experience in a software platform, developer tools, or API-facing product

 * A demonstrated ability to own a technical R&D backlog: you are comfortable writing detailed specifications, challenging engineering estimates, and making hard prioritisation calls

 * Experience working with external developers or partners as the primary customer - you understand what makes an API easy to build on, and what makes it a barrier to adoption

 * Strong commercial instincts - you intrinsically connect API capability decisions to revenue outcomes, not just technical considerations

 * Excellent stakeholder management across both technical and commercial audiences; you can present your roadmap to Developers or to a Corporate Leader, each at the right level, while maintaining a consistent message.

 * Familiarity with the CAD, AEC, or engineering software industry is a plus but not required - intellectual curiosity about the domain and the willingness to go deep matters most

 * Fluent English is a necessity; Dutch or other European languages are a bonus

## Description

Bricsys is building the most open and extensible CAD platform in the industry. Platform Technology is the team that makes that possible, through a growing API and SDK surface that lets developers, ISVs, and enterprise partners build applications directly on BricsCAD. We are hiring a dedicated Product Owner to lead the API/SDK R&D team of six engineers, giving this domain the focused product ownership it needs to accelerate., * Own the API/SDK R&D backlog end-to-end: prioritisation, planning, stakeholder alignment, and delivery accountability

 * Define and maintain a commercially-driven API roadmap that expands BricsCAD's developer surface, based on inputs from partner engagements, ecosystem signals, and competitive intelligence

 * Work closely with the team to translate active partner requirements into API priorities, ensuring what gets built unlocks real commercial opportunities

 * Ensure new API capabilities are developer-ready at release: documented, promoted, and available to the BricsCAD Developer community via self-service methods

 * Define and track the right metrics with the team: API adoption, new developer partner activations, time-to-first-integration, and downstream seat attachment rates
