We’re looking for a Product Manager II to help own and deliver the next phase of Custom Metrics. This is a high-impact role operating at the intersection of infrastructure, storage, pricing, governance, and AI.

Who You Are: - 3 to 5 years of product management experience, preferably in technical B2B SaaS or platform products. - Proven ownership of a product area or major feature set, driving initiatives from discovery through delivery and iteration. - Strong product discovery skills: able to independently run interviews, analyze usage data, and translate insights into clear problem definitions. - Comfortable operating independently within a defined scope, while aligning with broader product direction and company priorities. - Strong technical aptitude and ability to partner effectively with engineers on infrastructure, data-heavy, or systems-oriented products. - Experience defining KPIs and using data to guide prioritization and measure impact. - Clear, concise communicator who can align cross-functional partners and maintain steady execution momentum. - Demonstrated ability to make thoughtful decisions amid ambiguity, balancing customer value, technical feasibility, and business considerations.
