This job is responsible for maximizing the value for one or more products. Key responsibilities include working with stakeholders to understand their needs, and with product owners or specialists to ensure they are aligning on priorities. Job expectations include ensuring delivery of products that meet client needs, establishing client expectations, including features, security, availability, resiliency, timelines and costs.

Responsibilities:

• Agentic application platform strategy: As applications evolve from deterministic services into AI agents that reason, invoke tools, retain context, coordinate work, and initiate actions, the middleware layer must evolve from application hosting into a governed agent execution and integration platform

• Generates the vision and roadmap for the program based on customer requirements, industry trends, regulations, and the strategic direction for the business or technology domain

• Communicates the program vision and roadmap to stakeholders, product owners and the teams

• Oversees the budget(s) for one or more products by working closely with finance partners on both personnel and non-personnel expenses

Transform existing products into secure, automated, API-consumable platform services delivered through Terraform, Ansible, and self-service patterns comparable to public cloud experiences

• Define the runtime and middleware strategy required as applications evolve into agentic systems

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of experience in middleware, application runtimes, platform engineering, infrastructure products, cloud services, or technology product management

• Demonstrated ownership of a platform strategy, roadmap, modernization program, backlog, lifecycle, adoption model, and measurable product outcomes in a large enterprise
