[Hiring] Staff Product Manager - Data Products and Agent Interface @LaunchDarkly

Role Description

LaunchDarkly is seeking a creative and experienced Product Manager to lead our end-to-end data products, from SDK data ingest through our data platform to the customer-facing observability, metrics, and experimentation experiences built on top of it. You will own the vision and strategy for this entire pipeline as a coherent product, ensuring the data customers send us is trustworthy, timely, and transformed into experiences that help them ship better software. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of data infrastructure, observability/analytics, and how customers consume and work with software delivery data.

• Define and lead the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for LaunchDarkly's end-to-end data products, spanning SDK event ingestion, our data platform, and customer-facing data products, ensuring alignment with company goals and customer requirements.
• Own the strategy for AI-powered analysis of our data and the agent experience of our data products.
• Treat the data pipeline as a single product: drive coherence across ingestion, processing, storage, and consumption.
• Collaborate with engineering, design, marketing, and sales teams to deliver high-quality products that meet customer needs.
• Monitor industry trends and competitor products to stay ahead of the curve.
• Act as the voice of the customer, ensuring their needs and pain points are addressed in all product decisions.
• Partner with marketing and cross-functional teams to define Go-To-Market plans and strategy for data products and features.
• Mentor and uplevel other product managers, and raise the bar for data-informed product practice across the organization.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product experience, especially with data platforms, data infrastructure, analytics, or developer tools.
• Alternatively, 8+ years of engineering experience in data-intensive systems with a strong product mindset.
• Proven track record of successfully bringing data products to market and driving strategy across multiple teams or a platform-scale product area.
• Strong understanding of modern data architectures: event/streaming pipelines, data warehousing and lakehouse patterns, data modeling, and the trade-offs of processing data at scale.
• Experience with both platform products and end-user-facing data products.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with and influence cross-functional teams and senior leadership.
