资深产品经理
Principal, Product Manager
我们不只是在打造更好的技术。我们在重新定义数据的流动方式，以及世界能通过数据实现什么。在 Confluent，数据不会停滞。我们的平台让信息动起来，以接近实时的方式流式传输，使公司能够更快地做出反应，更聪明地构建，并提供与周围世界一样动态的体验。
需要某种特定类型的人加入这个团队。那些会提出难题、给予诚实反馈并互相支持的人。没有自大，没有单打独斗。只有聪明、好奇的人一起朝着更大的目标前进。
一个 Confluent，一个团队，一个数据流平台。
### **职位描述：**
这个高级产品经理职位是一个高影响力的核心成员岗位，负责 Apache Flink 在 Confluent Cloud 和平台上的完整产品策略和执行。这是一个模糊且技术性很强的领域，需要一位经验丰富的领导者，能够构建持久的平台能力，将复杂系统转化为清晰的战略，并独立运作。
### **你将负责：**
- 定义并推动 Apache Flink 在云和本地产品中的多年产品策略和路线图。
- 建立结构化流程，协调产品、工程、市场和高管利益相关者。
- 识别 Flink 及其相关领域（如 AI、数据工程、数据仓库和事件驱动应用）中的高影响力、从 0 到 1 的产品机会。
- 定义 Confluent Flink 产品如何与 Confluent 和 IBM 产品组合协同工作。
### **你将带来：**
- 为从数据工程师到软件开发人员的客户提供复杂云数据产品的成功产品策略经验和交付能力。
- 对分布式系统、数据工程和云有深入的技术专长。对流式技术（如 Kafka、Flink 或 Spark）有领域知识是加分项，但不是必需。
- 有从早期产品市场匹配到大规模收入的整个产品生命周期的产品开发经验。
- 10 年以上技术软件或云服务产品的管理经验。
### **让你更具优势：**
- 有动手的工程或技术背景，包括对系统设计、API 设计和多种语言（如 Python、Java、Scala、SQL 等）的熟悉。
- 有开源软件经验，并能制定商业化策略同时建设社区。
- 在数据基础设施、分析、AI/ML 平台方面有成功记录。

We’re not just building better tech. We’re rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn’t sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them.
It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together.
One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.
### **About the Role:**
This Principal Product Manager role is a high-leverage Individual Contributor position responsible for the complete product strategy and execution for Apache Flink across Confluent Cloud and Platform. This is an ambiguous and technical domain that requires a seasoned leader who can build durable platform capabilities, translate complex systems into clear strategy, and operate independently.
### **What You Will Do:**
- Define and drive the multi-year product strategy and roadmap for Apache Flink across cloud and on-prem products.
- Establish structured processes to align product, engineering, GTM, and executive stakeholders.
- Identify high-leverage, 0-to-1 product opportunities for Flink and in adjacent areas like AI, data engineering, data warehousing, and event-driven applications.
- Define how Confluent Flink offerings will work across Confluent and IBM product portfolio.
### **What You Will Bring:**
- Proven ability to own and deliver product strategy for complex cloud data products for customers ranging from data engineers to software developers.
- Deep technical expertise in distributed systems, data engineering, and cloud. Domain expertise in streaming technologies such as Kafka, Flink, or Spark is a plus but not required.
- Experience leading product development across the entire lifecycle, scaling businesses from early product-market fit to substantial revenue.
- 10+ years of experience in product management for a technical software or cloud service product.
### **What Gives You an Edge:**
- Hands-on engineering or technical background, including comfort with systems design, API design, and several languages (e.g., Python, Java, Scala, SQL, etc.).
- Experience with open-source software and determining commercialization strategy while building the community.
- Track record in data infrastructure, analytics, AI/ML platforms, real-time systems, or streaming systems, especially where the product serves customers with a diversity of technical depth.
