Product Manager - Data Platform

Because you belong at Twilio.

The Who, What, Why and Where

At Twilio, product managers are responsible for every aspect of the product. From concept to API design to working with other teams to interact with your platform. You will touch every team within Twilio, and have full responsibility and autonomy to grow the platform. You will lead the product requirements required to build and operate real-time, highly-scalable distributed services that operate at telephone network reliability, all while the product grows at an exponential rate.

Twilio is looking for a Product Manager to join the Data Platform team. You will understand the needs of our end customers in the global communications market and build a platform to help internal teams handle their data. Working side by side with other product managers and engineering counterparts across Twilio R&D, you will collaborate to craft and deliver a vision for computing on streaming data at Twilio.

Who?

We are looking for somebody who lives the Twilio Magic and has a consistent track record of Platform Product Development. You have:

• Someone with 3+ years of product management experience in a fast-paced company. If you have a strong work ethic and know how to knock down barriers to get to your objective this might be the opportunity for you.
• We need someone with a strong proficiency in the big data ecosystem e.g. Hadoop, Kafka, Hive, Spark, or similar technologies.
• Technically savvy and experienced with the cloud, APIs, communications, enterprise software, devices, and mobility.
• Worked on data platforms, customer engagement platforms, or streaming applications.
• You have a customer oriented approach. You have an amazing ability to understand the customer’s challenges and are able to articulate a vision to solve challenges to make an impact.
• You are a strategic problem solver and flourish operating in broad scope, from conception through continuous operation of 24x7 services.
• You have solved sophisticated problems and have the aptitude to navigate uncharted waters.
• The ability to solicit customer requirements from many - often opposing - sources, prioritize, and work with engineering and design to deliver.
• Collaborative approach and ability to work with distributed, cross-functional teams.
• Great communication skills. You're equally at home on zoom presenting to an audience of developers as you are on a zoom talking to users and then coming up with product requirements. Your best days are the ones where you do both on the same day.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience required.

What?

As a Product Manager, you live the Twilio Magic, and encourage it in others, as you:

• DRAW THE OWL and BE AN OWNER: Build the vision for how we quickly let agile teams self-serve a streaming data infrastructure.
• BE INCLUSIVE: Working with Twilio teams across the world to understand and resolve needs to move and store data.
• EMPOWER OTHERS: Work directly with the carriers in moving the ecosystem of vendors, other platform teams, and architects to chart a path to the future.
• BE BOLD: Build consensus on our use of data and what teams need to do with it.
• WRITE IT DOWN: Report on both the business and operational performance of your platform and customers on a weekly basis.

Why?

Products are built on data. From the developers of a service, to their managers, compliance teams, and executives all need to know the state of systems and their activity. This team manages the flow of this data within Twilio, securing it, and ensuring everybody allowed can access it. We are also the bridge the reporting systems trusted by customers, executives and shareholders. Processing has to happen in the pipeline to get insight in real time. We are successful when we make this easy for engineers.
