Senior Product Manager

We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them.

It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together.

One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.

About the Role:

The Stream Processing & Analytics team at Confluent owns our Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink product and is on a mission to build the first truly cloud-native, complete and secure stream processing platform. We enable our customers to derive valuable insights and take immediate actions from their data in motion.

We are looking for a seasoned Product Manager for our Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink product, who will help define a strategic roadmap for this area, maintain a tight feedback loop with our customers, and work closely with our engineering teams. Possible areas of focus include elasticity, autoscaling, multi-tenancy and observability.

What You Will Do:

• Develop a strategic vision of where to invest our effort to help our customers succeed

• Think through a great end-to-end product experience with a focus on detailed user stories

• Create a roadmap to deliver that experience to customers

• Engage with customers, users and internal stakeholders to discover new product opportunities and to create a feedback loop throughout delivery

• Align with other teams to ensure our roadmap is unified and unblocked

What You Will Bring:

• Minimum 2+ years of experience as a software product manager, ideally for a developer product, and 4+ years of experience in overall technical roles

• Experience defining product functional specifications including API, CLI and GUI

• Strong written communication skills and experience working in a collaborative and remote environment

• Strong technical competency, especially with distributed data systems, public and private clouds, and stream processing

• Experience liaising with cross-functional teams, communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences

What Gives You an Edge:

• Experience as a Product Manager for a SaaS company is ideal

• Experience in working with Open Source communities is a plus

• Basic coding experience is great to have!
