Staff Product Manager
MongoDB · India
Full-time · Staff · Posted 10 days ago
We are looking for a Staff Product Manager to own and drive our Platform — the
foundational infrastructure layer powering our Application Modernization
Platform (AMP). This is a high-impact, technically demanding product leadership
role that sits at the intersection of platform engineering, cloud
infrastructure, and next-generation AI.
You will be responsible for standing up the platform from the ground up — or
significantly evolving an existing foundation — covering service hosting, API
gateways, identity and access management, observability stacks, telemetry
pipelines, and error-logging frameworks.
The ideal candidate has walked in the shoes of an SRE, built or scaled a SaaS or
application modernization platform, or served as a product manager for platform,
infrastructure, or DevOps products at a leading enterprise technology company.
We are looking to speak to candidates who are based in Gurugram for our hybrid
working model.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
* Define and execute the strategy for compute and hosting infrastructure,
including container orchestration, multi‑region deployments, API gateway
capabilities, and service mesh adoption
* Own IAM for human and machine identities, implementing industry‑standard
protocols and scalable authorization models (RBAC, ABAC) to secure
multi‑tenant SaaS environments
* Lead the observability strategy across metrics, tracing, and logging, set and
monitor reliability targets, and deliver insights to improve incident
response, platform reliability, and capacity planning
* Own the vision and roadmap for the external AMP Dashboard, providing
customers with actionable insights, analytics, and tools to manage and track
modernization projects end‑to‑end through an intuitive, enterprise‑grade
interface
* Champion developer productivity and adoption by delivering self‑service,
well‑documented platform capabilities, tracking key performance metrics, and
acting on feedback to drive continuous improvement
* Serve as the product bridge between engineering, security, and product teams,
influencing technical and strategic decisions, managing vendor evaluations,
and communicating progress and vision to senior leadership
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
* 8+ years of overall professional experience; 4+ years in a product management
role focused on platform, infrastructure, observability, or SRE domains
* Deep technical fluency in cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure),
containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines
* Hands-on familiarity with API gateway configuration, service mesh patterns,
and microservices architecture
* Working knowledge of authentication protocols (OAuth 2.0, OIDC, SAML) and
authorization models (RBAC, ABAC)
* Experience with at least one full observability stack: metrics collection,
distributed tracing, and centralized log management
* Proven ability to define and track reliability metrics (SLIs/SLOs/error
budgets) and drive engineering teams toward measurable reliability goals
* Strong written and verbal communication skills — can translate complex
infrastructure concepts for both technical and executive audiences
* Comfortable operating in high ambiguity; able to define product scope and
priorities with incomplete information
BONUS POINTS
* Prior experience evaluating or deploying LLM orchestration layers or AI/ML
platform tooling
* Familiarity with AI observability tooling
* Experience with multi-agent system design patterns (tool use, memory,
planning loops, guardrails)
* Background at a company with an India engineering hub — experience working
within a globally distributed engineering organization is a strong plus
