Product Manager (Kubernetes / Ansible / IaC)

Accountabilities:

• • Own a defined product area end-to-end, from customer discovery and problem validation through product delivery, launch, adoption, and iteration.
  • Engage regularly with platform engineers, DevOps teams, infrastructure leaders, prospects, and customers to understand real-world production challenges.
  • Investigate customer workflows and identify opportunities related to governance, coordination, visibility, reliability, developer experience, and adoption.
  • Combine customer interviews, product usage data, support insights, commercial feedback, and market research to determine which problems are most valuable to solve.
  • Define clear product requirements, success metrics, recommendations, specifications, and decision records to guide product development.
  • Prioritize initiatives according to customer value, strategic alignment, effort, risk, and potential learning.
  • Partner with Design to explore, prototype, validate, and refine potential solutions.
  • Work closely with Engineering leadership to establish scope, evaluate trade-offs, and support effective product delivery while engineering teams own architecture and technical execution.
  • Collaborate with product leadership on product direction, major investment decisions, and go-to-market strategy.
  • Coordinate launch readiness across Product Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Support.
  • Monitor product adoption and customer feedback after launch, using evidence to determine whether to improve, expand, or discontinue initiatives.
  • Develop a strong working understanding of infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, policy, cloud infrastructure, and execution workflows, including how the product area connects to existing IaC environments.
  • Contribute to a customer-focused product culture built around ownership, collaboration, curiosity, and evidence-based decision-making.

  Requirements:

  • Previous experience in product management or a closely related technical role such as platform engineering, DevOps, solutions engineering, technical support, product analysis, or technical product ownership.
  • Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes or Ansible. Expertise in both is not required.
  • For Kubernetes, experience with technologies or workflows such as Argo CD, Flux, Helm, operators, cluster management, or application delivery is valuable.
  • For Ansible, experience with AWX or Automation Controller, inventories, job templates, execution environments, or automation workflows is valuable.
  • Ability to explain how infrastructure technologies work and understand the operational and organizational challenges teams face when using them in production.
  • Working knowledge of Terraform or OpenTofu and fundamental infrastructure-as-code workflows, including Git-based changes, plan and apply processes, state, policy, and drift.
  • Demonstrated ability to identify user problems, synthesize qualitative and quantitative evidence, and turn findings into clear and well-reasoned product decisions.
  • Strong written communication skills and the ability to collaborate directly and effectively with engineers and technically sophisticated customers.
  • Sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, and willingness to adapt product direction when evidence indicates a different approach is needed.
  • Strong written and spoken English, at B2 level or above.
  • Based in Europe.
  • Experience with both Kubernetes and Ansible is a plus.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, OPA/Rego, CI/CD, RBAC, audit systems, or internal developer platforms is advantageous.
  • Previous experience in B2B SaaS or developer-focused technology products is desirable.
  • Familiarity with evidence-led product practices such as Working Backwards or 5 Questions is a plus.
  • Experience with SQL, product analytics, or AI-powered tools for research and analysis is beneficial.

  Benefits:

  • Fully remote working environment across Europe.
  • Flexible, remote-first approach designed to support strong work-life balance and productivity.
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Opportunity to work on innovative infrastructure and cloud technology products shaping the future of DevOps.
  • Collaborative environment with experienced product, engineering, and technical professionals.
  • Significant ownership and influence over product direction, priorities, and customer outcomes.
  • Opportunity to work closely with engineers, infrastructure leaders, DevOps professionals, and technical customers.
  • Exposure to modern technologies including Kubernetes, Ansible, Terraform/OpenTofu, cloud infrastructure, policy engines, CI/CD, and AI-enabled infrastructure workflows.
  • Opportunities for professional growth while contributing to a rapidly evolving technology space.
  • Culture centered on customer focus, mutual respect, ownership, collaboration, and curiosity.
