Senior Product Manager

vCluster Labs is a platform company focused on AI infrastructure and Kubernetes-based tenant isolation. The Senior Product Manager will partner with product and engineering leadership to define technical direction, validate product builds, engage infrastructure customers, position offerings in the cloud-native market, and lead cross-functional execution.

Responsibilities:

• Technical Direction: Align on business priorities and technical direction for your product surface, and translate that into specs engineering can execute against
• Founder Partnership: Work directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership on the architecture tradeoffs that determine the product's trajectory
• Hands-on Validation: Run alpha and beta builds yourself. Catch integration issues before customers do
• Customer Intelligence: Engage directly with platform engineers at AI Cloud operators, regulated enterprises, and large internal platform teams. The next zero-to-one comes from these conversations
• Market Positioning: Track the cloud-native ecosystem and emerging tenancy primitives. Sharpen the narrative for technical buyers and partner with GTM on messaging that lands
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Bridge engineering, sales, and marketing so what we ship matches how we sell and support it

Requirements:

• • Experience: 5+ years in product management, in cloud infrastructure, platform services, or distributed systems. You've shipped something other engineers depend on in production
• • Kubernetes Fluency: You have working knowledge of Kubernetes, how clusters, workloads, and namespaces fit together
• • Customer-Facing Infra Experience: You've sat across from platform engineers and architects, and you're comfortable in that conversation
• • Kubernetes-as-a-Service: 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
• • Internal Developer Platforms: Platform PM experience building IDPs that abstract infrastructure complexity for developer teams
• • Startup Growth: Adaptable to startup pace and change
