Founded by engineers — and customer obsessed — we leap at every opportunity to tackle technical challenges, from designing next-gen UI/UX for interfacing with data to scaling our services and infrastructure across millions of virtual machines. And we're only getting started.

We are looking for a customer-obsessed, strategic, and action-oriented Sr. Product Manager for the Compute Platform . What’s the Compute Platform?

It will require coordinating product activities from vision to implementation, including engaging large enterprise customers to understand their needs, developing long-term product strategy, defining product roadmaps, working with engineering to build those products, and coordinating with various internal stakeholders (both pre- and post-launch) to ensure product success.

The impact you will have:

  • Research, define, and own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for compute platform features and products (Classic and Serverless)
  • Work closely with engineering, design, sales, and marketing to launch new features and drive adoption.
  • Engage directly with customers and partners to understand their needs and prioritize high-impact solutions.
  • Continually improve efficiency and value for internal stakeholders and external customers though measured and strategic execution.
  • Drive competitive differentiation and positioning between our compute platform and competitive SaaS and IaaS products.
  • Collaborate with leadership to align product initiatives with business goals.
  • Use data-driven insights to measure success, iterate, and improve user experience.

What we look for:

  • 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in cloud, analytics, or data platforms.
  • Deep understanding of data platforms, the compute products that power them, and compute use cases.
  • Educational background in computer science or related engineering practice.
  • Experience working with engineers and designers to ship high-impact and cross-functional products.
  • Exceptional communication and storytelling skills to inspire teams and stakeholders.
