Staff Product Manager
Who We Are:
Materialize is an operational data warehouse. It’s the same SQL, same workflows, same architecture as an analytical data warehouse, but with a continuous computation model instead of batch. Your data is always up to date, always consistent, and always immediately accessible, so you can build real-time automation, engaging customer experiences, and new operational data products that drive value for your business.
Our streaming-first data warehouse is purpose-built for the unique demands of operational work. The familiar cloud architecture means low admin overhead, no new skills required. And the incremental engine means the same complex batch transformation logic from analytical warehouses can be ported over to run in real time with minimal engineering effort, and without increasing costs.
Investors:
Kleiner Perkins, Redpoint Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
About the Role:
As a Staff Product Manager for the Materialize Platform, you will own a significant portion of the Materialize product. You will drive the development and delivery of Materialize’s SQL experience and compute layer (powered by Timely and Differential Dataflow). Your work will span multiple Engineering teams and will require you to craft roadmaps with complex and interlocking dependencies. You will be an expert in our product, our customers, and the wider data market, and you will use that expertise to ensure that we ship solutions our customers love.
This role sits within our Product organization and reports directly to our Head of Product. If you’re excited about taking on a deeply technical Product role with meaningful responsibility, we’d love to hear from you!
About You:
- You have 10+ years of experience working with databases, streaming systems, or other types of data infrastructure
- You love technology, but you also care about the people who use it (our customers!)
- You have a proven history of collaborating with people from every department to ensure solutions drive real business impact
- You have excellent written and verbal communication skills with a track record of presenting deeply technical content to diverse non-technical audiences
- You are based in New York and excited about coming to our office (in Astor Place) at least three days a week
- Optional, but nice to have: you have previously been an Engineer who has worked on databases, streaming systems, or other types of data infrastructure
Responsibilities:
- Define the strategy of your product area and work collaboratively across the company to ensure you deliver on it
- Become the authoritative expert in your product area — both internally and externally — by conducting market research, learning from our customers, and using the product yourself
- Proactively manage a portfolio of small and big projects, while balancing short-term goals against long-term vision
- Drive the understanding of user pain points with the current product, and aim to reduce the sophistication required for our customers to be successful
- Instrument, monitor, and report on your product area, prioritizing and delivering on improvements where necessary
- Work with our Product, Engineering, and Go-To-Market teams to tell the story of your product area through documentation, educational content, blogs, and presentations
- Improve the Product function and our processes as you find problems to help us ship better and faster
Salary: $210,000 - 230,000/year + Equity
We understand it takes a diverse team of highly intelligent, passionate, curious, and creative people to develop the exceptional product we are building. Our dynamic team has incredible perspectives to share, just as we know you do, and we take great pride in being an equal opportunity employer.
