Requirements
- Experience working in a similar role of a Product Manager / Technical Product Owner.
- 2–5 years of experience working closely with public cloud infrastructure, with a strong understanding of how it is operated and managed in production environments.
- 3+ years of product management experience in products relevant to the Kubernetes technology or its ecosystem
- A strong product sense for turning messy problems into clear scope and shipped value - without waiting for perfect information.
- Deep curiosity and technical fluency in cloud fundamentals (identity/IAM, networking, compute, Kubernetes, observability, automation, and cost/billing concepts), and experience building solutions that leverage or focus on these technologies
- Coding experience is a plus - enough to collaborate effectively with engineers, reason about feasibility, and understand system behaviors.
- Excellent communication skills: you can explain complex ideas simply, facilitate alignment, and confidently engage with customers and experts.
- A bias for action and continuous improvement: you ship, measure, learn, and iterate - building a component that becomes a meaningful competitive differentiator.
Responsibilities
- Translate the VP’s strategy into a sequenced backlog of problems, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the Engineering team can deliver continuously.
- Leverage your hands-on DevOps experience and expertise in the real-world workflows of the professionals you’re building for - especially cloud operators and practitioners.
- Often speak with customers (aiming for 3-5 calls a week) and cross-functional DoiT stakeholders regularly to test ideas, validate assumptions, and pressure-test tradeoffs.
- Operate as a core member of the component’s Engineering team - present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
- Define what “success” means for the component with clear metrics (adoption, activation, workflow completion, time-to-value, retention, reliability signals, customer-reported impact).
- Ensure product requirements account for real-world cloud environments: IAM boundaries, auditability, guardrails, and safe defaults.
