To democratize the cloud for every engineer.
Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in product management, engineering, or technical program management
- Experience building developer tools or platforms (CLI, SDKs, APIs, infrastructure products)
- Hands-on familiarity with modern cloud technologies (containers, Kubernetes, serverless, cloud APIs)
- Strong technical instincts with the ability to work closely with senior engineers and reason about architectural tradeoffs. Proven ability to ramp quickly in new technical domains and form strong product opinions
- Demonstrated ability to ship high-quality products in ambiguous or complex problem spaces
- Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Support in a product-led growth environment
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- A commitment to building inclusive, collaborative teams
Desirable
- Experience working with or contributing to open-source projects and communities
- Background in cloud infrastructure, DevOps, SRE, or platform engineering
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to lead the future of Pulumi’s Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platform including the Pulumi SDK, CLI, and Automation API
- This is a high-impact role at the center of our product strategy. You’ll shape how developers and operators interact with cloud infrastructure and help define the next generation of cloud engineering
- You’ll work closely with engineering, design, and company leadership to build experiences that are intuitive for developers and rock-solid for enterprise customers. If you thrive on technical depth, love solving ambiguous problems, and enjoy shipping customer-obsessed products, you’ll feel right at home
- Define and evolve the vision for Pulumi’s IaC platform, partnering closely with engineering leadership to drive roadmap execution
- Lead product discovery, customer research, and competitive analysis to identify opportunities for innovation across cloud engineering workflows
- Work with Engineering and UX to design and deliver delightful, high-impact developer experiences across the Pulumi CLI, SDKs, and Automation API
- Translate complex technical problems into simple, elegant product solutions grounded in customer needs
- Drive end-to-end product delivery from idea to GA and adoption by collaborating with Marketing, Sales, Support, and the open-source community
- Instrument product experiences, define success metrics, analyze usage, and feed insights directly into roadmap decisions
- Advocate for high-quality, secure, scalable experiences that support developers at startups through large enterprises
Our take
The Infrastructure-as-code space is new and growing, thanks to the increasing complexity of cloud services, and their increasing adoption by developers and teams who would rather not manage them. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate these cloud applications, better.
The service is compatible with all clouds and all major programming languages, meaning it’s casting its net appropriately wide to shore itself up against unpredictable new developments in the market. This breadth of scope saw Pulumi win 10x growth in adoption over 2019 alone, and the company has since expanded out into what it hopes will provide a more comprehensive cloud engineering platform. This means the addition of capabilities like governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy as code - all shoring up its already strong position in the space.
Also playing firmly in Pulumi’s favor is that it’s been built as cloud-native from the ground up, meaning that it has a head start on earlier infrastructure-as-code businesses that needed to pivot to accommodate new developments like serverless and multi-cloud tech. Plus, its multi-language compatibility means that silos don’t form so readily as they do with rival HashiCorp’s Terraform, which requires that developers learn a proprietary language.
