Senior Product Manager, Data Catalog & Query Platform

Available Locations: Austin, Lisbon, London, NYC, SF
About The Role
You'll be responsible for building out a platform that helps developers and data teams ingest, catalog, and query data stored on our Developer Platform.
In this role, you'll focus on shipping and growing Pipelines, which enables customers to ingest and transform streams of structured data, and R2 Data Catalog, our managed Apache Iceberg catalog that automatically optimizes tables and compacts data files.
This role also involves working closely with engineering to build out our next-generation distributed query engine, enabling customers to make the most of the analytic datasets and logs they already store in R2.
What You'll Do

• Drive the strategy, roadmap & ship products that expand Cloudflare's data platform and how customers operate on the data they store on us.
• Lead projects from ideation through launch, and continuing through ongoing maintenance and support
• Develop and nurture relationships with engineering and coordinate closely to ensure successful delivery of product features
• Talk to developers (probably the most important)! You'll need to be crafty and develop a playbook to find the right users to talk to. This might include diving into our BI tools to find specific cohorts that are worth talking to, engaging on our developer discord, or heading straight to Twitter or Hacker News to engage and build relationships with the community.
• Partner with other departments such as Product Marketing, Marketing, Community & Developer Relations, Sales, and Customer Support to drive adoption with and gather feedback from customers and prospects
• Ruthlessly prioritize across a complex environment of diverse customers, stakeholders and objectives
• Represent the company externally as needed, including meetings with customers and prospects and analysis
• Delve into market research to drive new investment opportunities in the database and data space.

Examples Of Desirable Skills, Knowledge And Experience
You have outstanding communication and collaboration skills and are able to work with a diverse group, get alignment, and drive the product forward. You are execution focused and emphasize getting things done while paying attention to important details.

• Proven track record of shipping developer-facing products from ideation to launch
• Demonstrated experience with (any of) OLAP or HTAP databases, vector search and querying, and/or familiarity with modern structured table & data formats such as Iceberg and Delta Lake. You should have a burning desire to become a domain expert in each of these areas as quickly as possible.
• A focus on the developer: you'll be working directly, and often be a part of the customer's team in helping them get their initial implementation off the ground
• BS/MS in a technology field
• Professional product management experience (3-4 years), previous founder experience or demonstrated experience on an engineering team shipping user-facing products.
• Strong technical abilities. You should be intimately familiar with modern software development practices used to build and deploy applications. You are capable of wading into the details & understanding engineering decisions' impact on the product, but can also step back and take a 30k foot view.
• A desire to sweat the details and ship great end-to-end developer experiences. APIs, UIs, docs: all of these are part of the product.
• Experience using developer tools: you should have a favorite text editor, be familiar with composing CLI tools, and be the first user of the products you're shipping.
• Scripting/programming experience (JavaScript/TypeScript, Rust, Go, etc.) and/or experience with SQL dialects.
• A love for talking to developers at organizations both large and small on a daily basis so that you can build and ship products that solve real problems
