[Hiring] Technical Product Owner, Kubernetes @DoiT

Role Description

As a Technical Product Owner, you will be responsible for:

• Fast iteration and backlog leadership:
  • Translate the VP’s strategy into a sequenced backlog of problems, user stories, and acceptance criteria that the Engineering team can deliver continuously.
  • Keep work “thin-sliced” so the team can ship frequently, learn quickly, and reduce risk through iteration.
  • Maintain a disciplined cadence of backlog refinement, sprint readiness, and scope negotiation to keep delivery predictable without slowing innovation.
• Deep user and workflow understanding:
  • Leverage your hands-on DevOps experience and expertise in the real-world workflows of the professionals you’re building for - especially cloud operators and practitioners.
  • Use firsthand domain knowledge and ongoing customer conversations to identify friction, gaps, and opportunities for differentiation.
  • Prioritize enhancements that materially improve outcomes: speed, reliability, clarity, safety, governance, cost impact, or operational simplicity.
• Customer validation and external communication:
  • Often speak with customers (aiming for 3-5 calls a week) and cross-functional DoiT stakeholders regularly to test ideas, validate assumptions, and pressure-test tradeoffs.
  • Communicate clearly and confidently: share concepts early, take feedback openly, synthesize input into decisions, and explain “why” in a way that builds trust.
  • Rely on your hands-on, DevOps experience to go deep with stakeholders (internal/external) into the technical details of the problem, our solution, and the contexts and environments in which both of these exist.
  • Support beta/design-partner motions where appropriate by shaping hypotheses, success criteria, and rollout plans.
• Engineering-embedded technical product ownership:
  • Operate as a core member of the component’s Engineering team - present in daily collaboration, crisp in decision-making, and pragmatic about constraints.
  • Partner with Engineering leads on sequencing, technical tradeoffs, and delivery planning - ensuring product intent survives implementation realities.
  • Ensure the component is cohesive across UX, APIs, data, and operational behavior - and that it meets a high bar for reliability and customer trust.
• Quality, outcomes, and measurement:
  • Define what “success” means for the component with clear metrics (adoption, activation, workflow completion, time-to-value, retention, reliability signals, customer-reported impact).
  • Instrument learning: make sure releases are measurable and that insights reliably flow back into prioritization.
  • Own release readiness for your component: documentation, enablement inputs, and clear communication of what’s new and why it matters.
• Safety, governance, and trust by design:
  • Ensure product requirements account for real-world cloud environments: IAM boundaries, auditability, guardrails, and safe defaults.
  • Partner with security, support, and customer teams to anticipate edge cases and ensure the component earns trust over time.

Qualifications

• Experience working in a similar role of a Product Manager / Technical Product Owner.
• 2–5 years of experience working closely with public cloud infrastructure, with a strong understanding of how it is operated and managed in production environments.
• 3+ years of product management experience in products relevant to the Kubernetes technology or its ecosystem.
• A strong product sense for turning messy problems into clear scope and shipped value - without waiting for perfect information.
• Deep curiosity and technical fluency in cloud fundamentals (identity/IAM, networking, compute, Kubernetes, observability, automation, and cost/billing concepts), and experience building solutions that leverage or focus on these technologies.
• Coding experience is a plus - enough to collaborate effectively with engineers, reason about feasibility, and understand system behaviors.
• Excellent communication skills: you can explain complex ideas simply, facilitate alignment, and confidently engage with customers and experts.
• A bias for action and continuous improvement: you ship, measure, learn, and iterate - building a component that becomes a meaningful competitive differentiator.

Bonus Points

• Experience with developer tools, infrastructure, and SaaS platforms.
• Experience working directly with a founder or early-stage startup.
• Background in analytics, growth, or UX research.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO
• Flexible Working Options
• Health Insurance
• Parental Leave
• Employee Stock Option Plan
• Home Office Allowance
• Professional Development Stipend
• Peer Recognition Program
