We have a purpose that drives us to do better every day – we're creating an entirely new category within data infrastructure - data streaming. This technology will allow every organization to create experiences and use the power of data in ways that profoundly impact the way we all live. This impact is our purpose and drives us to do better every day.

One Confluent. One team. One Data Streaming Platform.

Data Connects Us.

About the Role:

Confluent runs and supports many of the largest data streaming deployments in the world on behalf of our customers. Real-time Observability and monitoring capabilities are critical to ensure that our customers are successful in using our services at scale to build and run their mission-critical applications. Customers need contextual metrics, notifications and alerts for their data streams and applications for a range of use cases including operational monitoring, capacity planning, billing, charge-back and several others. Additionally, Confluent operators need visibility into customer deployments to ensure the highest levels of reliability, scalability, and product performance.

As a Group Product Manager for Observability, you will own the end-to-end product lifecycle from defining product vision to specific feature definition, prioritization, positioning, naming, go-to-market support and feature adoption.

• Close the loop: Define quantitative and qualitative targets, measure performance against them, share results with stakeholders, and incorporate those learnings into the next development cycle.
• Manage complexity: Deliver value while handling the surprises and challenges of a quickly evolving product, ambitious partnership targets, and a rapidly growing organization.

What You Will Bring:

• 7+ years of product management experience
• Experience in being a product owner for a cloud-based service (IaaS/PaaS/SaaS) that has seen adoption at scale by customers.  
• Experience building, writing, and defending a clear product roadmap and backlog backed by user stories and customer research.
• Excellent communication skills and experience working in a collaborative and consensus-driven environment
