About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 6 years of relevant work experience in Technical Product Management focused on enterprise platforms, hybrid cloud deployments, or complex infrastructure products.
  • A Bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
  • Ability to work with enterprise or government clients, understand complex operational workflows, and identify underlying problems despite differing customer terminology.
  • A track record of productizing cloud-native software platforms for deployment into customer-managed infrastructure, enterprise virtual private clouds, or air-gapped data centers.
  • Conceptual understanding of enterprise hybrid patterns such as AWS Outposts, Azure Stack, Kubernetes-based enterprise distribution platforms such as Red Hat OpenShift, or infrastructure automation frameworks such as HashiCorp Terraform or Vault.
  • Experience distinguishing core platform roadmap items from custom extensions delivered by Professional Services.
  • Ability to map complex operational transitions, training milestones, and access handoffs.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct discovery with high-security enterprise and government stakeholders to understand operational realities and set product priorities.
  • Define a phased customer journey framework, including operational models, readiness criteria, and governance standards for platform installation, joint-operations training, and transition to autonomous customer-operated environments with zero or limited vendor access.
  • Translate customer operational and security requirements into technical specifications for Core Infrastructure and Engineering teams, and identify commonalities across customers to avoid redundant engineering effort.
  • Define standardized building blocks that let the core platform extend into edge and air-gapped environments without creating hardcoded custom variants for each deployment.
  • Define boundaries between core platform capabilities and customizations, and design hooks and interfaces for Professional Services and integration partners to build extensions without modifying core platform code.

Desired Qualifications

  • Prior experience with European sovereign cloud frameworks, regional data residency mandates, or European Union defense or government compliance standards.
