Senior Product Manager, Messaging

Box•Redwood City, CA

18h•$181,000 - $226,500•Hybrid

About The Position

Box is building the eventing backbone that powers our products and enables customers to integrate, automate, and scale on our platform. We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead improvements in system efficiency, evolve our internal eventing and signaling capabilities, and help expose the right features externally. Your work will support the multitude of new products being built on the Box platform like extract and workflow, while impacting the bottom line by reducing costs and redundancy across the entire product infrastructure. You’ll partner closely with engineering teams in Redwood City and Poland and with our architecture group to define the roadmap, shape implementation, and deliver measurable platform outcomes. If you love diving into complex stacks, aligning diverse stakeholders, and shipping changes that move the performance needle, this role is for you.

Requirements

5+ years in product management with experience on platform/infrastructure or large-scale distributed systems.
Proven track record driving system efficiency (e.g., compute optimization, reducing data transfer, improving signaling) with quantified results.
Comfortable engaging in technical discussions on messaging/event-driven architecture and asynchronous processing.
Strong stakeholder management and “social presence”; able to influence across teams and geographies.
Excellent written and verbal communication with crisp specs, prioritization, and metrics-driven decision-making.
Bias toward implementation details and partnering deeply with engineering and architects.
Experience working with globally distributed teams; able to manage time zones and handoffs.
