- Domain expertise: Deep understanding of infrastructure, cloud platforms, DevOps, or observability — you can engage credibly with customers, engineers, and architects on technical topics including cloud-native and AI architectures, Kubernetes, compute/storage/networking, and distributed systems
- Proven leadership: Track record of building and developing high-performing PM teams; experience managing both ICs and senior PMs
- Strategic and execution-oriented: Ability to set a long-term product vision while driving rigorous near-term execution across a complex, multi-team product area
- Customer obsessed: You have strong instincts for understanding customer pain and translating it into product strategy that creates real value
- Data-driven: Comfortable defining KPIs, analyzing product usage, running experiments, and making prioritization decisions under uncertainty
- Strong communicator: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to influence senior engineering stakeholders and align cross-functional teams — and present confidently to executives and customers
- Collaborative and low-ego: You lead with empathy and directness, take ownership, and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
