Company mission

To enable a new era of infrastructure management that is automated, reliable, efficient and empowers application teams to accelerate innovation by delivering software faster.

Role

Who you are

  • Existing PM experience with SaaS UI based products
  • Know, have used, and care about Crossplane. Benig the front face for Crossplane’s commercial product requires deep knowledge of the underlying OSS project and problems it addresses
  • Developer background - you can use our products and write code to try out new features
  • Very familiar with Kubernetes and the related ecosystem
  • Enterprise product management experience
  • 5+ years of Product Management experience
  • Public examples of code on GH/GL (of any quality, this role isn't shipping production code)
  • Constantly think ‘there has got to be a better way to do this’ about anything

Desirable

  • Have built CLI, API, and SDK products in the past
  • Demonstrated working knowledge of Crossplane
  • Experience creating diagrams and simple illustrations which enhance your content
  • Worked with open source communities and managed public roadmaps

What the job involves

  • In this role you will help platform engineers, DevOps teams and developers consistently manage their cloud platforms built with Crossplane.
  • This role is responsible for the console experience in Upbound. Our console is used to gain insight, ease debugging, provide observability, and is the front door to our global experience
  • Success in this role will be driving our strategy and execution for extending Upbound into a world-class platform.
  • This role is North America based, collaborating with a team based in the US, and requires working within GMT-5 to GMT-8
  • Own the roadmap for our console
  • Work with engineering teams to prioritize backlog, identify user gaps
  • Create low-fidelity mockups and work through end user features deeply
  • Work closely with Design to create holistic user journeys
  • Work with the broader Upbound product team to align roadmaps and plans
  • Work closely with customer service to understand and respond to customer needs

Our take

Many companies today employ a multi-cloud business strategy, however, companies have then had to rely on cloud vendors to manage each individual cloud space, as there wasn’t a single tool for managing it all. Upbound built the first open-source, multi-cloud, single API management tool, Crossplane.

The company simplifies the operating environment for developers by allowing users to pick and choose the cloud vendors they want to use (i.e. Microsoft, Google, Elastic, Snowflake, etc.) and manage all of them from a single API. Not only is the platform gaining traction with users, but major vendors including AWS, Azure, Equinix, and IBM are building integrations specifically for Crossplane.

The company is using its Altimeter Capital-led funding from 2021 to enhance its global go-to-market capabilities, and product development, and expand its service and support teams. Upbound enables a new level of automation across cloud environments and is well-positioned to be the main convergence point for cloud infrastructure.
