Open source is our beating heart and it’s something that fuels our work and our culture. It’s where we began. It’s where we’ll always be. Our vision is to become the trusted open source data platform for everyone. We are a Cast of over 400 individuals (‘Crabs’) located across the globe. Why Crabs? Because we believe in thinking sideways. And right now, we’re looking for sideways-thinking Product Manager.
The Product team at Aiven lies at the core of our organization. This is a great opportunity to become an integral team member as a Product Manager.
We look for Product Manager who can work around problems by finding new angles. That means both creative and lateral approaches. Thinking sideways.
You will have the opportunity to collaborate with world-class tech people solving the toughest problems, where almost every project you work on is more complex and technically challenging than the previous one.
If you relish pushing your technical boundaries, come join us. Because if you can truly think sideways, you’ll never look back.
So, how do we become the trusted open source data platform for everyone? By listening closely to our customers and taking action to ensure they achieve their business goals. You see, the software we create is merely a means of delivering value. Our thinking is customer-first. That’s why our customers are at the front and center of all we do. And in the spirit of sideways thinking, we’re by their side as well. Actively helping them solve their challenges. Collaborating. Sharing. And innovating. In other words, it really isn’t just about who we are. It’s about who our customers are – and where they want to be.
We want individuals who can embody our values of ownership, courage, and openness.
What does that mean in practice?
We take ownership of the problems we solve. What we do is about improving life for our customers, enabling them to meet their goals. So we own our decisions and mistakes. Sometimes that takes courage. But we don’t falter – we take on challenges with confidence. And right at our heart is openness. We’re always open to new ideas – from wherever and whoever they come.
We are looking for a customer-focused product manager who will help us establish a FinOps foundation and discipline within Aiven to help fuel future growth.
The platform is the connective tissue that enables Aiven customers to configure, provision, use, and monitor one of 11 open-source applications (Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, Flink, ClickHouse, Prometheus, OpenSearch, Grafana, and more) in one of a dozen cloud providers, in any region throughout the world, to build the next great innovative application. Aiven runs across all major clouds and has highly advanced platform capabilities which are leveraged globally with more than 150 regions supported.
In this role, you will be a key contributor in a newly formed group within Aiven’s platform product management team. Your charter will be to create awareness and adoption of FinOps and cloud financial management best practices with key stakeholders throughout Aiven. As the Product Manager, you will be responsible for identifying, prioritizing, and implementing cost optimization opportunities.
Don’t worry if your experience doesn’t line up perfectly – we still encourage you to apply! We believe in investing in our crabs’ professional growth.
If you ask us what’s the best thing about working for Aiven, many will probably say it’s the high concentration of talent from around the world that we have here. Enjoy the agile environment of a hyperscale scale-up where you can truly make an impact and have fun while at it.
