What Youll Be Doing:
Become an expert in all runtime aspects – events pipeline, orchestration, execution, Runners, and the infrastructure that powers them.
Own the end-to-end Runner experience – deployment models, resource management, connectivity, and troubleshooting.
Perform customer research and technical deep-dives to understand scale requirements, reliability needs, and pain points.
Analyze customer escalations to identify patterns and translate them into actionable engineering requirements.
Make critical decisions with respect to architectural trade-offs, reliability, performance, and quality to meet business objectives.
Work closely with engineering to define, develop, and launch new runtime capabilities across our distributed execution layer.
The Ideal Candidate:
3-5 years of experience as a product manager on backend/infrastructure products, OR 2+ years in PM following a backend engineering role.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or OpenShift) and container orchestration.
Cloud infrastructure fluency – comfortable with AWS and GCP compute, networking, and storage.
Experience with high-scale systems handling significant event throughput or distributed execution.
Data-driven, with the ability to ask the right questions.
Excellent interpersonal skills, able to drive teams & interfaces without direct authority.
Strong technical communication – can explain distributed systems to customers and translate their pain into specs.
Computer Science degree or equivalent technical background.
Nice to Have:
Experience with message-driven architectures (PubSub, Kafka).
Familiarity with service-to-service communication.
Background in security, DevOps, or automation platforms.
Experience with hybrid deployments – cloud services connecting to customer-managed agents/runners.
