Senior Product Manager – Kubernetes Workload Optimization
Flexera is transforming how enterprises optimize cloud compute infrastructure at scale. We combine market-leading Autonomous Kubernetes optimization with market-leading FinOps and rate optimization capabilities to help customers reduce their costs (by up to 80%), improve performance and operate with confidence.
Success in this role requires a combination of technical depth, commercial awareness and product judgement. You must genuinely enjoy learning, creative thinking, and working across disciplines to solve difficult customer problems.
About the Role
The Flexera Workload Optimization Team is seeking a Senior Product Manager to join us on our journey. We are specifically looking for someone who has spent time building expertise around the professional operation of cloud-native platforms and who understands the real-world challenges of workload optimization, capacity management, scalability, reliability and cloud cost efficiency.
You will have experience in the following areas:
- Kubernetes Platform Engineering
- Cluster autoscaling and workload optimization (e.g. Karpenter)
- Public cloud services (AWS, Azure or GCP)
- Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
In addition, exposure to DevOps, CI/CD practices or to FinOps/Cloud Cost Management disciplines will also be helpful.
