About the role:

We are hiring a dedicated Senior Product Manager – TiDB Cloud to lead the TiDB Cloud offering. You will define the strategy and deliver a secure, compliant, and highly automated deployment model that runs TiDB in customers' cloud accounts while being managed from TiDB Cloud. You will partner closely with engineering, security, solutions, and GTM teams to take the product from 0 to 1 and scale it globally across AWS, Azure, and other clouds.

Responsibilities:

  • Strategy, roadmap, and product management. Define the product strategy, positioning, and multi-cloud roadmap; translate customer and market needs into crisp PRDs for day 0/1/2 operations; align with architecture and enterprise requirements (sovereignty, isolation, control); shape pricing, packaging, and FinOps guardrails with business partners.
  • Technical architecture, security, and deployability. Own end-to-end requirements for secure networking and compliance (VPC/VNet topologies, PrivateLink/Private Endpoint, IAM/RBAC, KMS, audit logging, least-privilege) aligned to SOC 2/ISO 27001; deliver a remotely managed, upgrade-safe control/management/data-plane model with first-class telemetry and diagnostics (CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, Prometheus, Grafana); productize repeatable IaC patterns and "golden" blueprints (Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep), enable SSO (SAML/OIDC), and integrate with customer key, networking, and logging stacks.
  • Customer leadership, GTM, and performance. Run private previews/EAPs with lighthouse customers; equip field teams with solution guides, runbooks, and migration playbooks; drive ICP, messaging, and competitive differentiation across launches; define and iterate on KPIs (time-to-provision, time-to-first-value, SLO attainment, upgrade success, cost accuracy, NRR, NPS) to steer continuous improvement.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field; advanced degree is a plus.
  • 7+ years of product management experience building cloud infrastructure, databases, or managed services for enterprises.
  • Strong technical depth with major clouds, especially one or more of: AWS (VPC, IAM, KMS, PrivateLink, TGW), Azure (VNet, Managed Identities, Key Vault, Private Endpoint), or equivalent.
  • Hands on familiarity with infrastructure as code and deployment patterns (Terraform, CloudFormation, or Bicep) and with Kubernetes based services.
  • Solid understanding of security and compliance requirements for customer managed environments, including encryption, least privilege access, auditing, and change management.
  • Experience defining day 2 operations for stateful services: upgrades, backups, PITR, DR, and SLOs.
  • Ability to lead cross functional initiatives and work directly with enterprise customers and partners.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; can author clear PRDs, solution guides, and executive level narratives.

Nice to Have:

  • Background with distributed databases, OLTP or HTAP systems, or large scale data platforms.
  • Experience delivering customer managed, or hybrid control plane products.
  • Knowledge of CDC and data movement ecosystems (for example Kafka, Debezium), and observability stacks.
  • Financial and pricing acumen related to usage-based products and cloud cost management.

The annual anticipated base salary range for U.S. candidates for this role is USD $200,000 to $230,000K. Four zones are applied with different levels of the pay range. More details of the Geo Differential Pay Policy will be discussed during the HR conversation. The actual individual base pay will depend on various factors such as the complexity and responsibility of the role, work locations, job levels, and relevant experience and skills. This role is also eligible to participate in TiDB's Bonus and Equity Plan, as well as our Sales Compensation Plan if it is a sales role. In order to comply with local legislation and provide greater transparency to candidates, we share base salary ranges on all US job postings regardless of desired hiring location. Please note that actual salaries may vary and fall outside of this range depending on factors such as a candidate's qualifications, geographic location, skills, experience, and competencies. Other benefits include health insurance, flexible vacation time, paid holidays, and parental leave. Salaries for candidates outside the U.S. will vary based on local compensation structures.

We encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. Come advance with us!

TiDB also strives to prevent other, subtler forms of inappropriate behavior (e.g., stereotyping) from ever gaining a foothold in our organization. Whether blatant or hidden, barriers to success have no place at TiDB.

Form CC-305

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.
