Summary

Partner with engineering to improve worker tuning, resource efficiency, and scaling behavior across diverse compute environments
Collaborate with customers and community to understand worker deployment pain points and validate solution directions

What You Bring

Strong background in compute platforms: serverless (Lambda, Cloud Run, App Engine), container orchestration (Kubernetes, ECS), or similar infrastructure
Experience building developer-facing products where deployment simplicity and operational excellence are key differentiators
Familiarity with autoscaling systems, workload scheduling, and resource optimization at scale
Understanding of code versioning, deployment strategies, and the developer experience challenges of long-running stateful systems
Proven ability to translate complex infrastructure capabilities into intuitive developer experiences
A pragmatic, customer-focused product management approach with strong technical communication skills
