About Similarweb

Similarweb is the leading digital intelligence platform that helps thousands of companies understand, track, and grow their digital business. Brands like Google, eBay, Adidas and many more rely on Similarweb to make smarter decisions using web and app analytics, generative AI insights, and market intelligence data. We are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and still operate with the energy and ownership mindset of a startup.

We are now entering a pivotal phase in how we deliver our data. Our goal is simple and bold: make Similarweb’s data delivery AI first, so both humans and AI agents can tap into our intelligence in the most natural and powerful way.

As Senior Product Manager, API, you will own the products that power how customers and AI applications access Similarweb data: our REST APIs, Batch APIs and our new MCP Server for AI agents.

You will be responsible for shaping the strategy, execution, and developer experience across these surfaces. Your work will define how data driven teams, partners, and AI agents discover, query and operationalize Similarweb’s digital intelligence at scale.

This is a highly visible and strategic role at the intersection of product, engineering, data and our global customer base.
