Own the Product End-to-End: responsible for the full product lifecycle—from triaging ideas, writing specs and prioritizing the roadmap to final release sign-off after QA.
Talk to Users & Observe Support / Slack Interactions: regularly connect with platform engineers, DevOps teams, and developers using our open-source and commercial offerings to understand use cases and user journeys.
Dig into the Details: define not just the "what" but the "how"—obsess over usability, edge cases, performance, configuration specs, CLI commands, CRDs / YAML, and docs.
Collaborate Across Functions: work with engineering, design, marketing and sales to publish release notes, update docs, improve onboarding, and create customer-facing assets.
Set Direction, Fast: synthesize feedback, weigh tradeoffs, make quick decisions, and move fast to ship and drive adoption.
Course-Correct Quickly as Needed: adapt to new information and changes in the ecosystem; clearly communicate direction and rationale to the team.
Drive Open Source and Commercial Success: balance open-core features with paid product functionality to maximize OSS traction without compromising commercial success.
Requirements
Live and Breathe Kubernetes: deep understanding of OSS technologies, multi-tenancy, RBAC, CRDs and controllers, networking, etcd, and related concepts.
Have Built Infra Tools Before: experience shipping self-hosted, enterprise-grade products for private cloud and possibly air-gapped environments.
Understand OSS Communities: awareness of what motivates open source users and the tensions OSS companies experience.
Think Like a Startup Founder: take ownership, cut through ambiguity, and push for impact over org structure.
Love the Craft of Product: care about UX for UI and CLI, YAML readability, and onboarding/documentation quality for admins and end-users.
Thrive in a High-Speed, Low-Structure Environment: comfortable solving messy problems, prototyping, launching, and iterating quickly.
Are Relentlessly Curious: ask why, explore alternatives, challenge assumptions, and understand how things work across the stack.
Bonus Points
Experience scaling the usage of open source products.
Experience with Linear for project management.
Experience with GitHub, Notion, and Slack.
Willingness to travel 3-5 times per year in the US and Europe.
