Full Job Description
Own the strategy for network connectivity and its evolution across the platform, and turn that direction into a roadmap teams can execute. Drive the move to an explicit, regionalized, policy-enforced connectivity model — including the migration sequencing, exception governance, and dependency burn-down that make it real. Take on high-impact problems across the charter, including scalability, resiliency, segmentation and isolation, capacity, latency, and platform transitions, and drive them to resolution. Work problems end-to-end: own the outcome even when every step of the work belongs to someone else. Model the tradeoffs before committing investment, and apply judgment where the model runs out. Weigh security, reliability, performance, and cost against each other, and prioritize multi-year platform investments with the teams that fund and build them. Keep failure domains contained and recovery paths intact.Participate in the on-call rotation — help scope and triage live incidents, and turn what you learn from them into root-cause fixes and roadmap priorities. Set success metrics, OKRs (Objectives and Key Results), and KPIs (key performance indicators), and shape investment priorities with leadership. Explain complex tradeoffs to executives in a way that leads to decisions. Mentor other product managers and move the team toward better, AI-forward ways of working. Bachelor's Degree AND 5+ years experience in product management and driving a large-scale infrastructure migration or network transition for large scale distributed systems OR equivalent experience. Decision Making - The ability to make decisions in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment. This includes the ability to define, diagnose, and determine an appropriate resolution, recommendation, or decision while considering alternatives and factors (e.g., resources, costs, tradeoffs). Influence Others - The ability to garner support for initiatives by gaining the respect of others and inspiring trust and confidence. Negotiation - The ability to achieve mutually satisfying agreements in negotiations with others by listening to their objectives, acting as the company's representative to effectively communicate the company's objective, and seeking common ground and collaborative solutions. Technical depth in networking and large-scale distributed systems — enough to reason with architects about how traffic moves, how the network fails, and what it costs; to hold your own in a live incident; and to explain those tradeoffs clearly to any audience. Includes cloud networking — virtual networks and peering, software-defined networking, address management, and NAT — and how their limits behave at fleet scale. Experience driving a large-scale infrastructure migration or network transition on a live, high-availability service — including sequencing, rollback, and dependency burn-down. Fluency with AI-forward ways of working (agents, automation, evaluation sets), or a demonstrated ability to adopt new tooling quickly. Working knowledge of Layer-7 routing, reverse proxies, or front-door/CDN-class infrastructure. Zero-trust and network security fundamentals — segmentation, identity-based authorization, mutual TLS, and policy enforcement.
