Who you are

- Have built managed X-as-a-service product experiences
- Existing PM experience with SaaS UI based products
- Know, have used, and care about Crossplane. Being the front face for Crossplane’s commercial product requires deep knowledge of the underlying OSS project and problems it addresses
- Very familiar with Kubernetes and the related ecosystem
- Enterprise product management experience
- 8+ years of Product Management experience
- Public examples of code on GH/GL (of any quality, this role isn't shipping production code)

Desirable

- Worked with open source communities and managed public roadmaps
What the job involves
- The core of the Upbound product revolves around a managed Crossplane experience for hosting control planes in Spaces
- Upbound offers this experience in both SaaS and customer self-hosted deployment modes
- With more organizations choosing to build platform control planes on top of our Spaces experience, we have ambitious plans to enhance the product to make it even more indispensable for Crossplane platform builders and operators: day 2 operations like disaster recovery, integrations with other platform services like secret stores, auto-managed experiences and more
- Success in this role will be driving our strategy and execution for making Upbound the clear choice for starting, running, and scaling Crossplane to power platform control planes
- This role is North America based, collaborating with teams based in the US and EMEA, and requires working within GMT-5 to GMT-8
- Spearhead the development and implementation of a market-leading managed Crossplane experience by crafting the vision, strategy, roadmap, and execution plan
- Be the voice of the customer and translate feedback into product requirements, strategy docs, and user stories
- Work with engineering teams to prioritize backlog, identify user gaps
- Create low-fidelity mockups and work through end user features deeply
- Work closely with Design to create holistic user journeys
- Work with the broader Upbound product team to align roadmaps and plans
- Work closely with customer service to understand and respond to customer needs
Our take
Many companies today employ a multi-cloud business strategy. However, these companies find themselves relying on different cloud vendors to manage each individual cloud space. To solve this, Upbound supplies an open-source, multi-cloud, single API management tool.
This simplifies the operating environment for developers by allowing users to pick and choose the cloud vendors they want to use (i.e. Microsoft, Google, Elastic, Snowflake, etc.) and manage all of them from a single API. Not only is the platform gaining traction with users, but major vendors including AWS, Azure, Equinix, and IBM are building integrations.
The company has used funding to enhance its global go-to-market capabilities, product development, and service and support teams. It continues to expand services, maintaining a key position at the convergence point for cloud infrastructure.
