Company mission
InfluxData's mission is helping its customers build cool stuff that transforms their business in less time.
Role
Who you are
- Our end users are most often software engineers developing software using our platform for time series storage, retrieval and analysis. As such, this is a technical solution and will require reasonably strong technical skills
- While we aren’t expecting a software developer (but certainly wouldn’t exclude one) in this role, we would expect the ideal candidate to know their way around a Linux command line and be able to write a few lines of python (or other language) code or at least be able to use CURL, Postman, or some other REST type tool to test APIs
- The ideal candidate will also have at least a basic knowledge of the SQL Query language and have experience with database data models/schemas
- You’ll also need to know how to manage your own time efficiently and work collaboratively with peers in other parts of the organization including documentation, QA, product marketing, support, and developer evangelists
- We are a completely remote company, so you will also need to be comfortable collaborating with people located across the world
- 8+ years experience as a Product Manager or Senior Product Manager
- Experience managing a database or data pipeline product
- Experience coding with a modern programming language (Go, Python, Java, Javascript, Rust, etc.)
- Experience managing both cloud and on-premise products
- Kubernetes familiarity
- Familiarity with authentication and authorization protocols and technologies in an Enterprise setting (OAUTH, SAML, LDAP, etc.)
- Github experience
- Experience using Product Management tools like Productboard or Prodplan
- Experience with BI/data visualization software (Tableau, Grafana, PowerBI, Domo, Looker, etc.)
- Experience with both Open Source and Commercial Products
What the job involves
- In this role, you’ll be a Product Manager focused on advancing our database product portfolio. This encompasses our Open Source, Commercial, On-Premise, and Cloud based products. This also includes our SQL & InfluxQL query language support; our Query, Write & Management APIs, & our visibility & management tools
- Drive product advancement and feature development across multiple development teams
- Collaborate and write product requirements and acceptance criteria
- Participate in regular planning meetings with the engineering teams
- Represent our personas and provide needed feedback on new feature design and development to the team
- Give engineers the user context they need to build amazing things
- Frequently consult with users, sales, support, and our community members to gather feedback on future product requirements
- Evangelize and present your product and product updates in webinars, conferences, and roadshows
- Create artifacts to surface valuable information about product developments and progress to the rest of the company
- Participate in prioritization exercises, gathering important data needed to help make prioritization decisions
- Build surveys, questionnaires and other tools to gather important data
- Build roadmaps and roadmap presentations
- Assist our sales team with sales presentations and product demonstrations
- Manage cloud marketplaces listings and offerings
Our take
Companies around the world are using data to make informed decisions about their business. However, many data-led questions such as performance management of IoT devices require chronologically processed information. InfluxData created the open-source InfluxDB database to tackle this problem.
The time-series database is simple to deploy and high performance, with the ability to perform millions of data operations per second, crucially on precisely time-stamped data. Thousands of developers make use of InfluxDB globally, but the brand believes its market can continue to grow. This will be partly achieved by educational outreach, supported by the 2022 launch of InfluxDB University.
Perhaps the greatest challenge to InfluxData is the mixed competition it faces. Some venture-backed startups like Timescale threaten the company on a features and performance level, while traditional SQL approaches have much wider adoption. Despite this, the company has captured much success and raised impressive funding, that is cited to fuel the development and rollout of its database engine that is built on the open source project, InfluxDB IOx.
