vultr - Senior Technical Product Manager, Networking
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.
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.
Benefits
• $135,000 - $175,000 • Final compensation will vary depending on years of experience, background/skill set, location, and applicable laws. • INCLUSION & PRIVACY
