Sr. Product Manager

vCluster is a venture-backed tech startup pioneering Kubernetes virtualization for the AI era. As a Senior Product Manager, you'll own technical direction across product surfaces, working closely with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership to shape product strategy and execution.

Responsibilities:

• Set the roadmap for your product surface and translate strategy into specs engineering can execute against
• Work directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership on the architecture tradeoffs that determine the product's trajectory
• Run alpha and beta builds yourself
• Engage directly with platform engineers at AI Cloud operators, regulated enterprises, and large internal platform teams
• Track the cloud-native ecosystem and emerging tenancy primitives
• Bridge engineering, sales, and marketing so what we ship matches how we sell and support it

Requirements:

• 6+ years in product management, in cloud infrastructure, platform services, or distributed systems
• Experience shipping something other engineers depend on in production
• Kubernetes Fluency: You operate at the implementation level — controllers, CRDs, API machinery, admission webhooks — not just as a user
• Customer-Facing Infra Experience: You've sat across from platform engineers and architects, and you're comfortable in that conversation
• Must reside in the Eastern Time Zone (EST)
• Built a KaaS offering at a cloud provider, vendor, or large internal platform team
• AI & MLOps Infrastructure: GPU scheduling, multi-tenant accelerator workloads, LLM deployment patterns
• Platform PM experience building IDPs that abstract infrastructure complexity for developer teams
• Worked with or built for bare metal infrastructure or high-performance computing environments
• Navigated a Series A through C scaling phase
