What you will do

Define the Future
• Set the vision: Shape and evangelize a compelling product strategy for Enterprise AI tools, ensuring alignment with company goals and market opportunities.
• Spot the gaps: Lead market and UX research to uncover unmet needs, competitive whitespaces, and emerging trends in observability.

Build & Ship
• Own the lifecycle: Drive end-to-end product development, from ideation to launch and iteration—balancing speed, quality, and user delight.
• Champion the user: Partner with design and research to craft intuitive, high-impact experiences, using data and feedback to refine continuously.

Scale & Execute
• Go-to-market: Collaborate with marketing and sales to launch products successfully, including pricing, positioning, and adoption strategies.
• Align stakeholders: Rally engineering, design, and business teams around priorities, trade-offs, and timelines.
• Prioritize ruthlessly: Maintain a dynamic roadmap that delivers quick wins while advancing long-term bets.

Required Qualifications

• Product Management: 5+ years of relevant experience in new, competitive, fast-paced and ambiguous environments.
• Technical skills: Hands-on experience with generative AI, LLMs, or ML-driven products ideally in large solutions — you understand technical trade-offs and can partner effectively with engineering teams.
• User obsession: Relentless focus on solving real user problems, backed by data and qualitative insights.
• Cross-functional influence: Proven ability to align and inspire engineering, design, and go-to-market teams without direct authority.
• Problem-solving: Balance big-picture thinking with hands-on problem-solving—you’re equally comfortable crafting a roadmap and diving into metrics.
• Communication: Crisp, persuasive storytelling for executives, teams, and users—whether in docs, decks, or whiteboard sessions.
• Adaptability: Thrive in high-velocity, dynamic settings where priorities shift quickly.
• Collaboration: Low ego + high EQ — you build trust and drive decisions through clarity, not hierarchy.
• Autonomy: Self-directed with a bias for action, you can navigate unknowns and own outcomes end-to-end.

Now, it would be ideal if you have:

• Observability knowledge :
* Strong understanding of monitoring, alerting, and performance analysis workflows.
* Strong understanding of cost observability and performance optimization for large-scale systems.
* An hands-on experience with OpenTelemetry.
• Growth mindset: Deep familiarity with product-led growth strategies (e.g., viral loops, onboarding optimization, monetization, etc.).
• Builder’s mindset: Founder or early-stage PM experience — you’ve turned 0 → 1 ideas into products users love.
• Technical depth: Ability to prototype, hack, or dive into code when needed (even if not a core responsibility).
