The Opportunity
As a Technical Product Owner, you will be responsible for:
 
Fast iteration and backlog leadership
  • Translate the VP’s strategy into a sequenced backlog of problems, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the Engineering team can deliver continuously.
  • Keep work “thin-sliced” so the team can ship frequently, learn quickly, and reduce risk through iteration.
  • Maintain a disciplined cadence of backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and scope negotiation to keep delivery predictable without slowing innovation.
Deep user and workflow understanding
  • Leverage your hands-on DevOps experience and expertise in the real-world workflows of the professionals you’re building for - especially cloud operators and practitioners.
  • Use firsthand domain knowledge and ongoing customer conversations to identify friction, gaps, and opportunities for differentiation.
  • Prioritize enhancements that materially improve outcomes: speed, reliability, clarity, safety, governance, cost impact, or operational simplicity.
Customer validation and external communication
  • Often speak with customers (aiming for 3-5 calls a week) and cross-functional DoiT stakeholders regularly to test ideas, validate assumptions, and pressure-test tradeoffs.
  • Communicate clearly and confidently: share concepts early, take feedback openly, synthesize input into decisions, and explain “why” in a way that builds trust.
  • Rely on your hands-on, DevOps experience to go deep with stakeholders (internal/external) into the technical details of the problem, our solution, and the contexts and environments in which both of these exist.
  • Support beta/design-partner motions where appropriate by shaping hypotheses, success criteria, and rollout plans.
Engineering-embedded technical product ownership
  • Operate as a core member of the component’s Engineering team - present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
  • Partner with Engineering leads on sequencing, technical tradeoffs, and delivery planning - ensuring product intent survives implementation realities.
  • Ensure the component is cohesive across UX, APIs, data, and operational behavior - and that it meets a high bar for reliability and customer trust.
Quality, outcomes, and measurement
  • Define what “success” means for the component with clear metrics (adoption, activation, workflow completion, time-to-value, retention, reliability signals, customer-reported impact).
  • Instrument learning: make sure releases are measurable and that insights reliably flow back into prioritization.
  • Own release readiness for your component: documentation, enablement inputs, and clear communication of what’s new and why it matters.
Safety, governance, and trust by design
  • Ensure product requirements account for real-world cloud environments: IAM boundaries, auditability, guardrails, and safe defaults.
  • Partner with security, support, and customer teams to anticipate edge cases and ensure the component earns trust over time.
Qualifications
  • Experience working in a similar role of a Product Manager / Technical Product Owner.
  •  2–5 years of experience working closely with public cloud infrastructure, with a strong understanding of how it is operated and managed in production environments.
  • 3+ years of experience in the Kubernetes space
  • A strong product sense for turning messy problems into clear scope and shipped value - without waiting for perfect information.
  • Deep curiosity and technical fluency in cloud fundamentals (identity/IAM, networking, compute, Kubernetes, observability, automation, and cost/billing concepts), and experience building solutions that leverage or focus on these technologies
  • Coding experience is a plus - enough to collaborate effectively with engineers, reason about feasibility, and understand system behaviors.
  • Excellent communication skills: you can explain complex ideas simply, facilitate alignment, and confidently engage with customers and experts.
  • A bias for action and continuous improvement: you ship, measure, learn, and iterate - building a component that becomes a meaningful competitive differentiator.
Bonus Points
  • Experience with developer tools, infrastructure, and SaaS platforms
  • Experience working directly with a founder or early-stage startup
  • Background in analytics, growth, or UX research
How success will be measured
  • The component’s roadmap advances through frequent, high-quality releases with clear customer value.
  • Customer feedback loops are strong: you can show how insights translated into shipped improvements.
  • Adoption and outcomes improve measurably (usage, engagement, workflow completion, reliability, and customer impact).
  • The Engineering team consistently has clarity on the next most valuable increment to build - and why.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
