Staff Product Manager

New York, New York, United States

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 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.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

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.
