  • Define and monitor metrics related to data platform adoption, performance, user satisfaction, and its impact on the velocity of data-driven product development.
  • Facilitate communication and alignment between the data platform engineering teams and the various product and analytical teams who consume its services.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of product management experience, with a significant focus on data platforms, data infrastructure, analytics platforms, or developer platforms.
  • Strong technical understanding of modern data architectures, big data technologies (e.g., data lakes, data warehouses, streaming data), data governance, and MLOps concepts.
  • Proven ability to understand the needs of technical users (engineers, data scientists) and translate them into a strategic product roadmap for a platform.
  • Experience in driving adoption and measuring the success of internal platforms or services.
  • Excellent collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively with engineering teams and internal customer teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with cloud-based data platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
  • Understanding of agile methodologies for platform development.
  • Ability to advocate for platform investments and articulate their business value.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a focus on enabling other teams' success.
