THE ROLE

Portworx, a leader in cloud-native storage and data management for Kubernetes, is looking for a deeply technical and strategic Principal Product Manager to drive the next generation of Observability and Manageability capabilities across our Kubernetes platform. This role calls for a hands-on product leader who thrives at the intersection of distributed systems, data infrastructure, and AI-driven insights.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Define and execute the product strategy for Observability, Monitoring, and Manageability experiences across Portworx and Kubernetes-based applications.

• Partner closely with engineering, design, and customer success to deliver seamless management workflows, performance dashboards, and automated remediation capabilities.

• Lead initiatives to integrate AI Copilot features that enhance operational efficiency and user productivity through intelligent recommendations and generative interactions.

• Own end-to-end product lifecycle—from roadmap definition to delivery—balancing strategic vision with execution details.

• Engage with enterprise customers and cloud partners to understand pain points, prioritize features, and ensure scalable observability across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

• Collaborate with GTM and field teams to translate technical capabilities into business value for customer adoption and success.

• Track the competitive landscape to identify emerging trends in Kubernetes observability, monitoring, and AIOps ecosystems.

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the {{OFFICE_LOCATION}} office in compliance with Pure’s policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU BRING

• 10+ years of product management experience with at least 5 years in Kubernetes, observability platforms, or cloud-native infrastructure.

• Deep understanding of Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and modern monitoring/alerting systems.

• Strong grasp of Kubernetes internals, including cluster and operator management, CRDs, and control plane components.

• Proven record of building data and operations visibility solutions that enhance manageability and user experience.

• Experience incorporating AI Copilot or genAI-driven developer productivity tools into enterprise platforms.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder alignment skills, with the ability to work across product, engineering, and executive teams.
