Senior Technical Product Manager, Networking

Vultr is on a mission to make high-performance cloud infrastructure easy to use, affordable, and locally accessible for enterprises and AI innovators around the world. They are seeking a highly skilled Technical Product Manager to own the product strategy and roadmap for their networking portfolio, working closely with engineering leadership to translate technical capabilities into shippable products.

Responsibilities:

• Own and drive the networking product roadmap across the full portfolio: VPC, routing, NAT/IGW, firewall/security groups, private connectivity, transit, DDoS, peering, and GPU/cluster networking
• Translate technical architecture decisions and infrastructure capabilities into product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering can execute against
• Partner with the Cloud Networking engineering manager to align product priorities with engineering capacity, technical debt, and long-term architecture goals
• Define and document product requirements for new networking constructs: VPC features, routing modes, gateway capabilities, cross-region connectivity, RDMA/RoCE fabric services. Ensuring clarity on what we're building, for whom, and why
• Drive go-to-market readiness: coordinate with marketing, docs, support, and sales enablement to ensure new networking features land with customers effectively
• Articulate product strategy and roadmap to stakeholders across engineering, product, and leadership. We need someone to be the person who can explain what we're building and why without a 40-slide deck
• Build and maintain a structured view of the competitive landscape for cloud networking; know where we lead, where we lag, and where the market is going
• Establish lightweight but effective planning rituals. PRDs, feature specs, release coordination, without creating bureaucracy for its own sake
• Triage and prioritize inbound requests from across the org, balancing customer impact, strategic value, and engineering feasibility

Requirements:

• Experience as a product manager or technical product manager shipping infrastructure or networking products: cloud platforms, SDN, network appliances, or similar
• Solid understanding of data center and cloud networking concepts: EVPN-VXLAN, VRFs, routing, NAT, load balancing, firewalling. You don't need to configure a switch, but you should be able to read a config and follow the conversation
• Proven ability to write clear, structured product requirements that engineers actually want to work from
• Experience working closely with deeply technical engineering teams. e.g. knowing when to dig in and when to trust the experts
• Strong communication skills: able to translate between engineering depth and business outcomes without losing fidelity in either direction
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity: this is a greenfield PM function, and you'll be building the playbook as much as following it
• Bias toward action and shipping over process and ceremony
