  • Define success metrics for control plane capabilities and track outcomes post-launch

  • Represent control plane priorities in cross-functional and leadership planning

  • Communicate roadmap and rationale clearly to engineering, leadership, and customers as needed

What You Bring
  • Significant product management experience in infrastructure, platform, or developer tools is essential

  • Experience managing other product managers or leading a product team

  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure control plane concepts
