Staff Product Manager, Platform & Infrastructure

Staff Product Manager, Platform & Infrastructure

This role sits at the heart of a modern cloud platform designed for developers building AI-native, distributed, and full-stack applications. You will define and evolve the foundational infrastructure that powers compute, orchestration, networking, and storage at scale. The position blends deep technical product leadership with strategic vision, shaping how modern applications are deployed and operated in an AI-driven world. You will work closely with infrastructure engineering teams to influence architectural decisions and long-term platform evolution. At the same time, you will partner with product teams and customers to ensure the platform meets real-world developer needs. This is a high-impact role where your decisions directly shape developer experience, system reliability, and platform scalability. You will help define what "modern cloud infrastructure" means for the next generation of software builders.

Accountabilities:

• Own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for core platform primitives including compute, orchestration, networking, traffic routing, and storage infrastructure
• Drive prioritization of platform investments, balancing long-term architectural goals with near-term product and business needs
• Partner closely with infrastructure engineering to influence technical architecture and ensure scalable, reliable, and extensible systems design
• Collaborate with product teams to define clear platform abstractions, enabling fast and consistent product development on top of shared infrastructure
• Engage with customers and developers to deeply understand use cases and translate insights into platform improvements
• Develop and articulate a strong point of view on the evolution of infrastructure for AI-native applications and workloads
• Establish best practices and standards for how internal teams and external developers build on top of the platform
• Lead cross-functional alignment across engineering, product, and leadership stakeholders on platform direction

Requirements:

• 7+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in developer tools, infrastructure, or platform-focused products
• Strong technical fluency with ability to understand system architecture and make informed tradeoffs with engineering teams
• Deep empathy for developers and strong understanding of infrastructure challenges and cloud-native systems
• Proven experience translating ambiguous, cross-functional infrastructure problems into clear strategy and shipped product outcomes
• Strong understanding of modern AI trends and how AI impacts infrastructure, compute, and application design (bonus for experience with agentic systems or memory/computation models)
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with ability to influence technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working closely with engineering teams on distributed systems or platform architecture is highly valued
• Bonus: background in infrastructure engineering or building AI agents/platforms

Benefits:

• Equity package with early-exercise options and extended exercise windows
• 4 weeks of paid vacation annually
• 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all parents
• Comprehensive health coverage (100% employer-paid medical, 99% dental and vision for employees and dependents)
