About The Position

Upsun is the cloud application platform humans and robots love. It is built for today’s hybrid teams, where AI agents write and test code and humans focus on solving the problems that really matter. Developers, DevOps engineers, and platform teams use Upsun to build, ship, and scale confidently without wrestling with backend infrastructure. We give you your time back. Upsunners are a remote, global workforce, and we thrive in a multicultural team. We are committed to open source and an open, welcoming environment. Our team spans the globe and the experience spectrum. Our core belief is that software should power brighter solutions and greater innovation.

Requirements

Substantial executive leadership experience managing a complex, multi-product portfolio (at varying maturity stages) across cloud, PaaS, DevOps, developer tooling, or infrastructure platforms, with a proven history of scaling through a layer of people managers (Directors/Principals).
A proven track record of taking net-new products from early strategy to global scale, while simultaneously modernizing mature products in shifting technical ecosystems.
The ability to turn complex technical capabilities into clear, differentiated customer value, navigate enterprise needs, and make high-stakes trade-offs using data and strong intuition.
Experience connecting Product with revenue leadership, architecting modern organizational structures, scaling global remote-first teams thoughtfully, and cultivating a culture of high performance and accountability.
Deep understanding of developer workflows and a practical, highly curious approach to how AI-native development is rewriting product discovery, delivery, and user expectations.

Drive Unified Organizational Alignment: Connect product strategy directly to revenue leadership (Sales, CS, Marketing) and embed continuous customer discovery into the engineering cycle to build a hyper-responsive feedback loop.
Lead the next chapter of Product at Upsun, architecting mid-to-long-term product strategy, unlocking enterprise value, and ensuring the multi-product portfolio drives global market leadership.
Lead an established organization of ~20 talented product managers, designers, and advocates.
