Staff Product Manager

vCluster Labs • New York, NY

1d • Remote

About The Position

We're hiring a Senior Product Manager to own technical direction across one of three product surfaces — the vCluster platform , vNode , or vMetal . You'll partner directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership on the decisions that shape where the product goes next. This role requires core working hours that overlap with both US Eastern and Central European time zones (approximately 9 AM–1 PM ET / 3–9 PM CET).

Requirements

• 6+ years in product management, in cloud infrastructure, platform services, or distributed systems.
• You've shipped something other engineers depend on in production.
• Kubernetes Fluency: You operate at the implementation level — controllers, CRDs, API machinery, admission webhooks — not just as a user.
• Customer-Facing Infra Experience: You've sat across from platform engineers and architects, and you're comfortable in that conversation.

Nice To Haves

• Kubernetes-as-a-Service: Built a KaaS offering at a cloud provider, vendor, or large internal platform team.
• AI & MLOps Infrastructure: GPU scheduling, multi-tenant accelerator workloads, LLM deployment patterns.
• Internal Developer Platforms: Platform PM experience building IDPs that abstract infrastructure complexity for developer teams.
• Bare Metal & HPC: Worked with or built for bare metal infrastructure or high-performance computing environments.
• Startup Growth: Navigated a Series A through C scaling phase.

Responsibilities

• Set the roadmap for your product surface and translate strategy into specs engineering can execute against. We'll align scope to your background — a hyperscaler KaaS PM might own the vCluster platform, a bare metal or GPU cloud PM might own vMetal, a multi-tenancy specialist might own platform + vNode.
• Work directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership on the architecture tradeoffs that determine the product's trajectory.
• Run alpha and beta builds yourself. Catch integration issues before customers do.
• Engage directly with platform engineers at AI Cloud operators, regulated enterprises, and large internal platform teams. The next zero-to-one comes from these conversations.
• Track the cloud-native ecosystem and emerging tenancy primitives. Sharpen the narrative for technical buyers and partner with GTM on messaging that lands.
• Bridge engineering, sales, and marketing so what we ship matches how we sell and support it.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary : We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Platinum-Level Insurance : Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country).
• Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day.
• Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
