About the role

  • Contribute to and communicate a compelling product strategy for our distributed database, AI, and high-availability solutions, grounded in market research, competitive analysis, and direct customer engagement.
  • Manage and prioritize the product backlog for your areas of ownership, working with senior product leaders on the overall roadmap and making data-driven trade-off decisions to balance new feature development, architectural improvements, and technical debt.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering teams to translate the product vision into detailed technical requirements, user stories, and product specifications for distributed architectures, AI/ML products, and HA mechanisms.
  • Partner with Product Marketing to support the development of positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategies. Create technical content, product demos, and sales enablement materials that clearly articulate our value proposition.
  • Serve as a technical product expert. Collaborate with developer relations to support our open-source community, gathering feedback and representing their needs to inform the product roadmap.
  • Ensure alignment across engineering, marketing, sales, and support, working with product leadership to communicate progress and dependencies to all stakeholders.

  • Strong understanding of distributed database architectures (e.g., CAP theorem, sharding, consensus protocols, replication) and OLTP systems.
  • Demonstrable knowledge of modern AI concepts and their application in data systems, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector embeddings, and LLMs.
  • Proven track record of launching successful enterprise software or SaaS products from concept to market adoption.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both engineering teams and business stakeholders.
  • Preferred: Direct experience with the MariaDB or MySQL database ecosystems.
