We’re looking for a product manager that’s passionate about solving customer problems and has demonstrated success in turning ambiguous customer needs into successful products.

If you're excited by cloud computing, want to help lead from the innovative edge, and have a deep-rooted passion in the evolution of computing and application development platforms, then we want to talk to you!

You will work across engineering, business development, and marketing leads to set strategy, define the product, and make difficult, high-judgment trade-offs between features and time-to-market. You will partner with the technical leaders of the organization to ensure the programming model, scalability and reliability promises, and developer experience delight our customers. As one of the team leaders, you will play a key role in hiring additional team members, and help set the vision, values, and culture of this business.
The breadth of this role is what makes it unique. Depending on your interests and strengths, you could find yourself working on event-driven architectures that connect and integrate cloud-native systems at scale, workflow orchestration and durable execution for AI agents and distributed applications or developer and agent experiences that make building, deploying, and governing serverless applications effortless at any scale.

- Evaluate industry innovations and technology platforms and identify partnership and collaboration opportunities
- Engage directly with customers to understand their needs and learn what we can build to enable and delight our customers

A deep empathy for developer challenges, balanced with a strategic understanding of business objectives and a creative and inventive mindset to help define what we build. Demonstrated experience leading developer-facing platform efforts, and a strong technical background with familiarity with large-scale systems. Exceptional communication skills to manage the large degree of external interaction with customers and partners the role requires.
