Impact of a Product Manager

As a Product Manager at Upsun, you play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Upsun, our next-generation cloud application platform. Sitting at the intersection of infrastructure and developer experience, you drive outcomes that enable developers to move faster and platform teams to scale with confidence.

You act as a bridge between engineering, users, and go-to-market teams, translating complex technical needs into product experiences that delight. Your work empowers modern development teams by reducing friction, simplifying orchestration, and enhancing the self-service capabilities of our platform.

Beyond shipping features, you bring a “platform as product” mindset, rallying teams around shared goals and constantly evolving the product to meet the needs of our users. You embody our belief that developer experience is infrastructure, and help ensure Upsun delivers on that promise.

• Go-to-Market Support: Contribute to positioning, messaging, and rollout of new features with our go-to-market teams.

What you bring

• Product Leadership: Experience as a Product Manager at a software company, ideally focused on developer platforms, infrastructure, or PaaS.

• Platform Mindset: You’ve applied a “platform as product” approach—either in commercial products or internal developer platforms.

• Technical Fluency: You understand the realities of building and running applications in the cloud with infrastructure engineers.

• Software Development Experience: Familiarity with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, Golang, or Rust), and insight into the developer journey.

• CI/CD & Containerization: Experience designing or using CI/CD workflows and working with Docker or OCI-compatible container technologies.

• API & System Design: Comfort with API-based platforms and understanding of cloud infrastructure complexity.

• User-Centric Thinking: You lead with a user-first mindset and excel at translating technical capabilities into intuitive product experiences.

• Communication & Prioritization: Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prioritize effectively and manage competing demands.

Bonus points for

• Experience using Kubernetes or building self-service platforms on Kubernetes

• Familiarity with developer portals such as Backstage

• Experience with distributed systems or large-scale multi-tenant architectures
