- Manage roadmaps and product deliveries across both open source and commercial open core products focused on extending the reach of Crossplane.
- Work with the broader Upbound product team to align roadmaps and plans.
- Work closely with customer service to understand and respond to customer needs.
You are a good fit if you have…
- Developer background - you can use our products and write code to try out new features
- Very familiar with Kubernetes and the related ecosystem
- Enterprise product management experience
- 5+ years of Product Management experience
- Public examples of code on GH/GL (of any quality, this role isn't shipping production code)
