Role

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to launch, evolve, refine and grow our new Observability Suite’s console and cross-cutting user interfaces. This position will require the instincts and creativity to ideate and implement new user journeys, and the technical expertise and development experience required to produce tools for engineers and navigate the technical complexity of each of the products in our suite.

You will work with the product, engineering, and design teams from across our suite to:

• Work across our constituent products to deliver a common experience and cohesive workflow to end users, regardless of where their exploration starts or which features or data are available
• Surface relevant information within a user’s environment, wherever they may be, for a continuous “no dead ends” experience
• Provide relevant contextual information throughout the experience through the integration of our monitoring, application performance management, logging, networking, and incident management tools.

While this position is frontend-focused, it will also require a solid understanding of users’ needs and workflows. As our customers are managing extreme-scale production services, the ideal candidate will have experience with the product management of frontend and backend services and will have a solid technical background.

Team members are primarily located in the San Jose, Seattle, Vancouver, and Boulder offices, however we have many permanently remote staff across the United States and Canada and are very open to remote work.

• Actively maintain a view of how the market, competition and technologies are evolving, and factor it, as well as feedback from internal groups and customers, into the product direction
• Collaborate with product marketing, support and the sales team to solve for business limiters within your control and pursue key business accelerants

Basic Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to prioritize requirements across conflicting dimensions and to be clear on the minimum capabilities that matter
• Excellent analytical / problem-solving skills. Ability to identify patterns and synthesize disparate data into a coherent whole
• Strong written and verbal organizational, analytical, and communication skills. Ability to lead and influence via persuasion, patience and energy
• Experience with developing software, understanding engineering tradeoffs, and an intuition for the needs of the developers and operators who use our products
• A passion for usability and a knack for simplicity
• Willing to do whatever it takes to get quality products and features to market on time

Preferred Qualifications

• 3-5 years of experience in product management or technical product management role
• BA/BS in Computer Science or related field
• MBA from a top-tier program
