• Define and track reliability and quality benchmarks for shipped pipeline features, monitoring performance in the 60 to 90 days following go-live
• Stay current on the evolving event data and data platform landscape, bringing informed perspective to architectural trade-off conversations with engineering
• Be a ruthless advocate for our customers in every interaction and decision

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience working directly with engineering teams on technically complex, data-intensive products
• Fluency in event data pipeline concepts including stream event ingestion, real-time data processing, and data normalization
• Familiarity with modern data stack technologies such as Snowflake, Kafka, Databricks, or Airflow; prior software engineering or data engineering experience is a strong plus
• Demonstrated ability to translate use cases and functional requirements from commercial or non-technical stakeholders into clear, actionable product requirements
