About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Translate the VP’s strategy into a sequenced backlog of problems, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the Engineering team can deliver continuously.
Keep work “thin-sliced” so the team can ship frequently, learn quickly, and reduce risk through iteration.
Maintain a disciplined cadence of backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and scope negotiation to keep delivery predictable without slowing innovation.
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.
Use firsthand domain knowledge and ongoing customer conversations to identify friction, gaps, and opportunities for differentiation.
Prioritize enhancements that materially improve outcomes: speed, reliability, clarity, safety, governance, cost impact, or operational simplicity.
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.
Communicate clearly and confidently: share concepts early, take feedback openly, synthesize input into decisions, and explain “why” in a way that builds trust.
Operate as a core member of the component’s Engineering team - present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
Partner with Engineering leads on sequencing, technical tradeoffs, and delivery planning - ensuring product intent survives implementation realities.
Ensure the component is cohesive across UX, APIs, data, and operational behavior - and that it meets a high bar for reliability and customer trust.
Define what “success” means for the component with clear metrics (adoption, activation, workflow completion, time-to-value, retention, reliability signals, customer-reported impact).

Requirements

What you’ll need

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.
