Job summary

Platform.sh is seeking a Product Manager to own a meaningful slice of the cloud platform, including APIs, runtime, environments, and reliability. The role blends product strategy with infrastructure engineering, targeting developers and AI agents as primary audiences.

You will lead roadmap and priorities, collaborate across teams, and ship iteratively while measuring business impact on reliability and developer experience. This remote role supports a globally distributed team.

Qualifications

• Proven product management experience owning a distinct product area, ideally on developer platforms, PaaS, or cloud infrastructure.
• Technical depth in building, deploying, and running cloud applications; experience with multi-tenant architectures.
• Software development background in Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Go, or Rust.
• Hands-on with CI/CD workflows and container tech (Docker/OCI) and API design.
• Daily use of AI tools for research and prototyping; comfort with AI model limitations and evolving workflows.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and convert unstructured problems into actionable strategies.

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and priorities for a cloud platform area, balancing mature foundations with new territory.
• Synthesize signals from customers, support, sales, and engineering into clear problem statements and challenge underlying assumptions.
• Explore solution options with engineering, weigh trade-offs, and converge on the right scope and sequencing.
• Ship in small increments and shorten the loop between release and learning.
• Collaborate closely with infrastructure and systems teams to deliver capabilities that are reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly.
• Build features, APIs, documentation, and error messages that serve both people and AI agents, and define metrics that show value for users and the business.
• Partner with Product Marketing early so go-to-market shapes the product rather than just announcing it.

Job description

Role overview

A cloud application platform company is hiring a Product Manager to own a meaningful slice of its cloud platform, including the foundations that every application depends on: APIs, runtime, environments, and reliability. The role is hands-on and technically rich, sitting at the intersection of product strategy and infrastructure engineering. A distinctive part of the work is designing for two audiences at once, human developers and AI agents that increasingly interact with the platform directly.

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, roadmap, and priorities for a cloud platform area, balancing mature foundations with new territory.
• Synthesize signals from customers, support, sales, and engineering into clear problem statements and challenge underlying assumptions constructively.
• Explore solution options with engineering, weigh trade-offs, and converge on the right scope and sequencing.
• Ship in small increments and shorten the loop between release and learning.
• Collaborate closely with infrastructure and systems teams to deliver capabilities that are reliable, scalable, and developer-friendly.
• Build features, APIs, documentation, and error messages that serve both people and AI agents, and define metrics that show value for users and the business.
• Partner with Product Marketing early so go-to-market shapes the product rather than just announcing it.

Requirements

• Proven product management experience owning a distinct product area, ideally on developer platforms, PaaS, or cloud infrastructure.
• Technical depth in building, deploying, and running applications in the cloud, with the ability to collaborate on multi-tenant architectures or distributed systems.
• Software development background with languages such as Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Go, or Rust.
• Hands-on or close-collaboration experience with CI/CD workflows, Docker or other OCI container technologies, and a clear point of view on intuitive API design.
• Daily use of modern AI tools for research, drafting, and prototyping, paired with a realistic sense of current model limitations.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity, turning unstructured problem spaces into clear strategies, and taking thoughtful action with incomplete information.

Nice to have

• A strong perspective on autonomous agent architecture and how agentic workflows are reshaping software engineering.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills with a track record of listening and building consensus across teams.

Benefits and work setup

• Fully remote role within a globally distributed, multicultural team.
• Flexible paid time off.
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage across multiple countries.
• Stock options in the company.
• Budgets for professional development, home office equipment, wellness, and internet reimbursement.
• Inclusive parental leave and a remote work travel program.
• Annual team gatherings and an emphasis on open, inclusive culture.
