Senior Product Manager – Core Platform (Engine, Scale & Reliability)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential workflow automation company seeking a Senior Product Manager to own their Core Platform—the technical foundation that powers execution, scalability, and reliability at enterprise scale. This is a defining role for a product leader who can translate complex distributed systems challenges into strategic roadmaps and ship foundational improvements that unlock the next phase of growth.

You'll work at the intersection of platform architecture, enterprise customer needs, and cross-functional alignment, ensuring the engine beneath everything remains scalable, secure, and ready for increasing technical complexity.

Responsibilities

• Define and communicate the product strategy and roadmap for the Core Platform in partnership with Engineering and Product leadership
• Prioritize foundational investments based on customer impact, enterprise needs, technical risk, and engineering effort; make trade-offs between near-term needs, technical debt, and long-term architecture explicit
• Lead product discovery for technically complex problems, engaging directly with enterprise customers and internal customer-facing teams
• Drive work on the scalability and reliability of the execution engine, including areas like worker pools and distributed execution
• Improve the reliability of triggers and execution behaviour across complex deployment setups, from multi-main cloud environments to self-hosted enterprise installations
• Shape a more secure and flexible approach to executing code within the platform
• Drive the planning and release of major or breaking platform versions, including migration strategy, stakeholder communication, and risk management
• Establish clear success measures and keep the squad accountable for outcomes, not only delivery
• Act as the bridge between the Core team and the wider organization: Product, Sales, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, and Support
• Treat internal product teams as customers of the platform; proactively mine their roadmaps for implicit platform requirements and turn cross-cutting needs into explicit Core Platform work before they become blockers

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves:

• 5+ years in Product, with at least 2-3 years on platform, infrastructure, developer-facing, or backend/API products
• Technical depth: credible with senior engineers; able to reason about distributed systems, execution models, and reliability/scalability trade-offs; comfortable with non-functional requirements where the details are the product
• Track record leading cross-team technical initiatives with real delivery risk, ideally including a migration or breaking change
• Ability to make trade-offs explicit and connect foundational or technical-debt work to customer and commercial outcomes
• Ownership and autonomy: you grab problems without being asked, fix what you see broken, and drive outcomes without waiting for direction
• Exceptional communication skills: you make complex platform topics understandable for technical and non-technical audiences alike
• Understanding of what running software in customer-controlled environments means, including self-hosted, air-gapped, and restricted deployments

Nice-to-Haves:

• Hands-on ability: can read code or prototype, even if you're not shipping it
• Experience with B2B SaaS requirements like security, compliance, or deployment complexity
• Comfortable working with security teams on code execution, isolation, or compliance topics
• Familiarity with workflow automation, orchestration, or open-source/developer-community products
• Writing culture: you default to writing things down to create clarity and alignment
