Technical Product Managers

Time Zone to work in: EMEA (UTC to UTC+2) or Americas (UTC-4 to UTC-8)

We are the original creators of Apache Flink, the open-source unified batch/stream processing system that powers applications for all types of companies, from tech giants (Alibaba, Amazon, Netflix, etc) to more traditional enterprises like banks and telecommunications companies. We contribute heavily to Apache Flink while building enterprise-grade products on top of Flink.

Come join our highly talented team at Ververica and work with friendly colleagues on problems and products that change how companies implement data processing, analytics, and applications. Become part of one of the biggest and most active open-source communities, connect with users around the world, and do work that has a visible impact. You will have the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge technology or be an advocate for new approaches to long-standing problems.

Innovation thrives when diverse points of view come together. Thus, we strive for an equal and inclusive work environment and welcome diverse life experiences and diverse work/educational backgrounds. We’d love to hear how you bring something unique and valuable to our teams.

The opportunity

We are seeking full-time Technical Product Managers of senior levels to join our technical product management team at Ververica. In this role, you will work cross-functionally with Development and Growth teams. You will be setting the strategy for our products and solutions and be accountable for components and architecture of your portfolio. You will also have the opportunity to engage with our clients defining the “what’s next”.

We are a highly motivated software company originally from Berlin, Germany now operating globally. We love open source but understand commercial needs as well. We are following an open-core business model looking for additional talents helping us achieve our goals and that of our parent company. We are not a start-up anymore, your employment is backed by one of the largest tech companies.

At Ververica we embrace diversity and diversity embraces us. If you feel you can add to it, please apply! And if not, still apply – we love diverse skills just as much.

The work

As Technical Product Manager you like working with external clients, the open-source community, and internal colleagues alike. You will be the go-to person for any product-related topic, from technical to business topics depending on your present and future skills.

Our products are both traditional software and as-a-service offerings, often at the core of a client’s data environment but sometimes also up in the Cloud (or even foggy). We are also looking around us augmenting our stack of offerings and welcome new ideas.

You are (or will become) an expert in building and designing solutions using distributed data processing systems, learn how customers use them and make decisions on what we will develop next. You set and communicate your product’s strategy, you research users, customers, and stakeholder’s needs to improve your product over time.

And when you are not working with our products, there are plenty of opportunities at Ververica to learn more about Flink, contribute to the products and open-source projects, and help evangelising to users around the world.

What you will do all day is …

… to use your experience to coordinate product design and delivery for your product

… to liaise with both internal and external stakeholders, understand their requirements, and help translate that into your product strategy and vision for a strong unique selling proposition,

… to create a strong foundation for Ververica’s competitive advantage,

… to become an Apache Flink and stream processing expert.

You will love this job if you …

... already have some years of experience in a similar or related job,

… ideally have some Big Data, Machine Learning or similar experience,

… have profound experience in technological matters (software/Cloud) and business alike,

… think Java is not just coffee,

… are experienced or interested in designing and building solutions using distributed data processing systems on large scale production environments (e.g. Kafka, Flink, Spark),

… love to spend the whole day talking about Big Data technologies and business,

… are curious to learn and apply new things,

… are open-minded and pragmatic,

… have great English skills and like talking to customers.

What we offer are …

… very competitive compensation (salary, stocks, bonus) and benefits,

… flexible working arrangements (in European or American time zones),

… offices in many locations to come and meet colleagues – but also work if you like!

If this is the next step in your career, please apply! We are looking forward to getting to know you personally.
