Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Technical Product Manager with a strong background in software engineering and platform engineering to lead the transformation of our cloud infrastructure. The current cloud platform is poorly optimized for development purposes and suffers from restrictive governance, hindering productivity and innovation. The ideal candidate will oversee the improvement of the cloud platform, ensuring it becomes a robust, developer-friendly environment that aligns with organizational goals while maintaining security and compliance.

This role requires a deep understanding of cloud technologies, software development workflows, and platform engineering principles. The Technical Product Manager will collaborate closely with engineering teams, DevOps, security, and governance stakeholders to deliver a seamless and efficient cloud experience for developers.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Cloud Platform Strategy and Vision:
   ○ Define and drive the vision, strategy, and roadmap for improving the cloud platform to support development teams effectively.
   ○ Identify pain points in the current cloud infrastructure and prioritize solutions to enhance developer productivity and platform scalability.
2. Cross-Functional Collaboration:
   ○ Work closely with software engineers, platform engineers, DevOps, and infrastructure teams to design and implement cloud solutions that meet development needs.
   ○ Partner with security and governance teams to ensure compliance while reducing unnecessary restrictions that hinder development.
3. Technical Leadership:
   ○ Leverage your software and platform engineering background to guide technical decisions and ensure the platform is built with best practices.
   ○ Advocate for modern cloud-native technologies, tools, and processes (e.g., containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code).
4. Developer Experience (DevEx) Focus:
   ○ Streamline the development process by improving tooling, automation, and self-service capabilities on the cloud platform.
   ○ Ensure the platform provides a seamless onboarding experience for new developers and reduces friction in day-to-day workflows.
5. Governance and Compliance:
   ○ Collaborate with governance teams to establish policies that balance security and compliance with developer agility.
   ○ Implement monitoring, logging, and auditing mechanisms to maintain visibility and control over the platform.
6. Stakeholder Management:
   ○ Act as the primary point of contact for all cloud platform-related initiatives, ensuring alignment with business objectives.
   ○ Communicate progress, challenges, and outcomes to executive leadership and other stakeholders.
7. Metrics and Continuous Improvement:
   ○ Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the cloud platform improvements.
   ○ Continuously gather feedback from developers and stakeholders to iterate and improve the platform.

Requirements:
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
• 7 years of experience in software engineering or platform engineering, with a strong understanding of cloud technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, or equivalent).
• Proven experience as a Technical Product Manager or similar role, managing complex technical projects and delivering results.
• Deep knowledge of cloud-native technologies, including containers, Kubernetes, serverless computing, and microservices architecture.
• Strong understanding of DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, CloudFormation).
• Experience working with governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) teams to implement secure and compliant cloud solutions.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical audiences.
