Senior Product Manager - Platform

About this role

We're hiring a Senior Platform Product Manager to own two of our most critical platform areas: our API gateway and our observability platform.

What You'll Own

• End-to-end product strategy and roadmap for both platform areas
• Core API gateway capabilities including traffic management, rate limiting, and logging
• Standards and experience for metrics, logs, traces, alerting, dashboards, and operational reporting (powered by Datadog)

What You'll Do

• Set a clear product vision for both platform areas and translate it into multi quarter and multi year roadmaps
• Partner with engineering leaders across two teams to shape priorities, drive execution, and unblock delivery
• Balance client commitments, commercial opportunity, technical health, security/compliance needs, and unplanned demand
• Define measurable outcomes and use them to guide prioritization
• Write crisp requirements and strategy documents that scale across engineering and senior leadership
• Maintain a healthy Jira backlog and communicate progress proactively

We're Looking For

• 5+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning cloud platform infrastructure
• Good understanding of API concepts - latency, rate limiting, response codes
• Experience with Datadog or comparable observability tooling
• Demonstrated ability to set product vision and strategy, and communicate it credibly to technical and non technical stakeholders
• Excellent prioritization judgment in ambiguous, highly technical areas
• Strong written communication: specs, strategy docs, and proposals that stand on their own with both technical and executive audiences
• Nice to Have: Experience with API gateway platforms (Apigee, Kong, AWS API Gateway, or similar)
• Nice to Have: Fintech or financial infrastructure experience
