Staff Product Manager, Compute (Remote – US):

GitHub is changing the way the world builds software, and we want you to help build GitHub! 

 

The Compute team is on a mission to help developers & organizations increase their value delivery velocity. We’re building world class cloud compute services that enable the automation of any software workflow to build, test, and deploy code using tools like GitHub Actions.

 

As more customers increase their usage of GitHub Actions, their scaling and management needs for Runners compute increases too. We’re looking for a Staff Product Manager to work across design and engineering to make sure Actions Runners and associated experiences scale to the needs of our largest organizations.

What you will be doing:

• Own the product vision for your area. You will be responsible for specific areas of the Actions Runners product and defining a vision that aligns with customer needs and GitHub’s goals.
• Represent the customer. You will be the champion and voice of customers in every conversation. You will build direct relationships with customers as well as immersing yourself in customer feedback.

• Manage the roadmap. Make tactical prioritization decisions while helping the team think long-term. Build trust with stakeholders by maintaining an understandable, accurate roadmap.
• Collaborate across teams. Your success will require coordination across multiple teams and domains at GitHub. You will play a critical role creating alignment between core Actions experiences, our compute platform, and the wider GitHub organization. 
• Data driven decision making. Analyze data for trends and potential customer pain points, and use this to prioritize and inform how to improve the product. Go back to the data when needed to answer questions.

• Measure success. Own the measures used to define success for your area. Success measures must be defined at the inception of a product and tracked throughout its lifecycle. Make measures visible to all stakeholders and interpret them into actionable conclusions and new hypotheses.

You might be a fit if:

• You have 5-7+ years of engineering or product management experience, or the equivalent customer-facing expertise with demonstrated ability to discover opportunities and define and deliver products.
• You are intimately familiar with how compute is used for CI/CD,  or adjacent tools in the modern software development ecosystem and understand the needs of individual developers, as well as large teams of developers.
• You possess strong communication skills, with clear verbal communication as well as explicit and mindful written communication skills. You have good business acumen and the gravitas necessary to present business cases to non-technical stakeholders and get buy-in for your plans.
• You have strong technical abilities and a track record of working through complex technical problems. You are comfortable with a high level of ambiguity and can reduce that ambiguity through sound judgment, scoping down requirements in order to make necessary tradeoffs in order to have the largest impact.
• You have experience working deeply with multiple organizational functions like Sales, Marketing, Support, Engineering and Design.
• You have a track record of being able to work autonomously, holding yourself accountable to outcomes rather than outputs.

Bonus points if:

• You are passionate about cloud computing technologies and how they’re used for CI/CD execution.
• You are passionate about efficient cloud compute opportunities, from traditional VMs to kubernetes and other serverless technologies.
• You are passionate about GitHub and the opportunities that lie ahead of us.
