[Hiring] Director of Product Management - Data Streaming @HiveMQ GmbH

2d ago - HiveMQ GmbH is hiring a remote Director of Product Management - Data Streaming. 💸 Salary: eur 120,000 - 154,000 per year 📍Location: Germany

Role Description

We’re seeking an exceptional Director of Product Management to lead HiveMQ’s Data Streaming portfolio — the connectivity and transport foundation that every other layer of our Industrial AI Platform depends on. The core product is our flagship offering: HiveMQ Enterprise Broker, the high-performance MQTT server running at the core of industrial operations at companies mentioned above and more.

A critical and differentiating element of the Enterprise Broker is its extensibility system — the mechanism by which new functionality is built in the field, validated against real customer needs, and reviewed, generalized, and graduated into the core product. Managing this well requires two things in parallel:

  • Ensuring OT teams can easily build integrations with IT systems without friction.
  • Maintaining a healthy process by which extensions are proposed, triaged, and absorbed into the roadmap rather than accumulating as one-off customizations.

The Data Streaming layer faces a genuinely interesting strategic challenge: it is HiveMQ’s primary revenue engine today, but lighter brokers and free-tier strategies from competitors are beginning to pressure pricing in some segments. The response isn’t to double down on features — it’s to make HiveMQ the default substrate for operational agents, the only choice that compounds into Intelligence and Agentic AI in ways no alternative can match. Translating that thesis into a product roadmap is as much a PM job as a strategic one.

You’ll start as an individual contributor, with the opportunity to build and lead a high-performing team as the portfolio scales.

Qualifications

  • 8–15 years total work experience, with significant portion in product management or consulting.
  • Track record with established enterprise infrastructure products at a meaningful stage of maturity.
  • Data-driven product development: demonstrated success using quantitative and qualitative methods to drive product decisions.
  • Budget and resource management: experience allocating resources across teams and managing to budget.

Requirements

  • Message-oriented middleware and event-driven architectures: deep familiarity as PM or practitioner with MQTT and/or platforms like Kafka, Solace, RabbitMQ, or similar distributed messaging and streaming technologies.
  • OT/IT convergence: meaningful experience with operational technology environments — PLC communication, OPC-UA, Modbus, SCADA, MES.
  • Smart manufacturing / Industry 4.0: understanding of how manufacturers instrument facilities, manage device fleets, and move operational data from edge to cloud.
  • 4+ years of people management experience, including leading distributed teams across geographies and time zones.
  • PLG for infrastructure or developer products: track record with product-led growth motions for technical products.
  • Distributed systems: genuine appreciation for reliability, scalability, clustering, and operational observability at scale.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
  • Flexible working hours and remote work options.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.
  • Opportunities for professional development and growth.
