  • Study production workflows to understand problems involving governance, coordination, visibility, reliability, and adoption.
  • Combine customer interviews with product usage, support cases, commercial feedback, and market research to identify the problems worth solving.
  • Define product requirements, success measures, and clear recommendations using tools such as 5 Questions, PR/FAQs, specifications, and decision records.
  • Prioritize work based on customer value, strategic fit, effort, risk, and potential learning.
  • Work with Design to explore, prototype, validate, and refine solutions.

  • Build and apply working knowledge of Spacelift, infrastructure as code, CI/CD, policy, cloud infrastructure, and our execution engine, including how the Kubernetes product connects with existing IaC workflows.

What we're looking for

  • Hands-on production experience with Kubernetes application delivery, gained through product management, engineering, solutions engineering, or a similar technical role: Argo CD, Helm, Kustomize, and GitOps promotion across environments.
  • The ability to explain how these tools work and where teams encounter operational or organizational challenges.
  • Working familiarity with Terraform or OpenTofu and core IaC workflows, including Git-based changes, plan and apply, state, policy, and drift.
  • Experience identifying user problems, synthesizing qualitative and quantitative evidence, and turning findings into clear product decisions.
  • Strong written communication and the ability to work directly with engineers and technical customers.
  • Good judgment, curiosity, and a willingness to change direction when the evidence supports it.
  • Strong written and spoken English (B2 or above).
  • Based in European Union.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Kargo, Flux, Argo Rollouts, Harness, or another GitOps delivery tool.
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure, OPA/Rego, CI/CD, RBAC, audit systems, or internal developer platforms.
