Company mission
To democratize the cloud, empowering builders of all different backgrounds to do their best work in the cloud.
Role
Who you are
- You have 8+ years of engineering, product management, program management, or equivalent experience
- You’ve used and are deeply familiar with modern cloud software development practices like containers, Kubernetes, and serverless
- You have strong technical abilities and a track record of delighting customers with elegant solutions to complex and ambiguous technical problems
- You have built and actively participated in inclusive team environments
- You clearly communicate both verbally and in writing
Desirable
- You have previous work experience delivering software or creating and managing infrastructure
- You have demonstrated experience working with disciplines like Sales, Marketing, and Support
- You have experience contributing to open source projects or managing an open-source community
- You have experience creating developer tools or working closely with DevOps teams
- You have experience entering a new area, immersing yourself in data and details, and building a strong understanding and point of view
What the job involves
- Partner with the CEO and CTO to define the product vision for the Pulumi infrastructure-as-code product and manage the roadmap for delivering on that vision
- Work closely with one or more engineering managers to deliver steady progress on your roadmap while balancing engineering and tech debt investments
- Build a deep understanding of Pulumi’s customers to understand how they do cloud engineering and what their unmet needs are
- Collaborate with UX design and engineering to create, specify, and deliver innovative and impactful solutions to our customers’ needs
- Own features from idea to successful adoption, working with marketing, customer success, sales, and our community to ensure that features aren’t just built, but also used and loved by our customers
- Turn plentiful data into insights that inform our decision making
- Define the right input and output metrics to measure the success of features we build and create a feedback loop from these metrics back into your product vision and roadmap
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
The Infrastructure-as-code space is new and growing, thanks to increasing complexity in cloud services, and their increasing adoption by developers and teams who would rather not manage them. Pulumi works to bring together infrastructure, developer, and security teams to help build and operate these cloud applications, better.
The service is compatible with all clouds and all major programming languages, meaning it’s casting its net appropriately wide to shore itself up against unpredictable new developments in the market. This breadth of scope saw Pulumi win 10x growth in adoption over 2019 alone, and the company has since expanded out into what it hopes will provide a more comprehensive cloud engineering platform. This means the addition of capabilities like governance and compliance features, testing support, and policy as code - all shoring up its already strong position in the space.
Also playing firmly in Pulumi’s favor is that it’s been built as cloud native from the ground up, meaning that it has a head start on earlier infrastructure-as-code businesses that needed to pivot to accommodate new developments like serverless and multi-cloud tech. Plus, its multi-language compatibility means that silos don’t form so readily as they do with rival HashiCorp’s Terraform, which requires that developers learn a proprietary language.
