Sr Product Manager - IC

ABOUT the company

The company is an open-source observability platform that helps modern engineering teams monitor, debug, and optimize their applications with deep visibility into metrics, traces, and logs — all in one place. We’re built natively on OpenTelemetry and offer both self-hosted and cloud options, so teams can run observability the way they want, without vendor lock-in.

We are growing fast and building core developer infra products.

And we are not fooling around

• 27,000+ GitHub stars

• 800+ customers

• 7,000+ members in our Slack community

ROLE: SR PRODUCT MANAGER - IC

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product for a developer-infrastructure platform used by engineers every single day. This is a hands-on IC role: you'll go deep on the product surface, talk to power users constantly, and ship things that make complex observability workflows feel obvious. Our users are demanding, technical, and detail-driven — so you'll need to be too.

WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON

• Alerts: Own the alerting experience end-to-end — rule creation, thresholds, anomaly detection, routing, and notifications — making it powerful for SREs while cutting alert fatigue through smarter grouping and signal-to-noise tuning, so on-call engineers trust what fires and land straight in the relevant data.

• APM: Shape the application performance monitoring experience — service maps, latency/error/throughput views, and span analysis — and drive the "something's slow" → "here's the exact bottleneck" workflow that gets engineers to root cause fast.

• Onboarding: Own the path from sign-up to first real value — instrumentation, first telemetry, first useful dashboard — reducing time-to-first-insight across language SDKs, collectors, and common frameworks, while respecting power users who want to skip the hand-holding.

• Connected investigations: Define how alerts, APM, metrics, traces, and logs come together into a single coherent investigation rather than disconnected tabs, closing the loop from signal to root cause.

• Observability UX: Sweat the details that matter to power users — query speed, sensible defaults, empty states, keyboard-driven workflows, the 50th query of the day — and make exploring high-cardinality, petabyte-scale data feel obvious rather than overwhelming.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL

• 5–8+ years in product management, with proven product work shipped at a B2B company

• A track record of building product-centric, user-experience-led products — you're not just a backlog manager; you obsess over the actual experience

• Deep attention to detail and high standards for power users — you sweat the empty states, the keyboard shortcuts, the defaults, the 50th query of the day, not just the demo path

• Ability to drive initiatives end-to-end: problem discovery → definition → design → implementation → rollout → iteration

• Strong technical fluency — you can read API docs, reason about data and systems, and earn the respect of senior engineers

• Excellent written communication — clear PRDs, crisp tradeoff write-ups, and decisions documented for an async team

• Comfortable in a high-ownership, fast-moving, remote-first environment

NICE-TO-HAVES

• Past experience in product team of a series B+ startup.

• Experience in observability (monitoring / logging / tracing)

• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry and/or ClickHouse, Kafka, Kubernetes, etc.

• Has been, or wants to be, a founder in B2B/devtools

WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING AT the company

• Work on a globally used open-source project that engineers actually love

• Huge scope and ownership – your work directly shapes how teams adopt the company

• Collaborate with high-caliber team who just can't stop shipping

• Remote-first, async-friendly culture

• Opportunity to help define the future of open-source observability
