About Product Management:

As a Product Manager at Grafana Labs, you'll develop a vision and strategy for your product domain. You will own your product’s roadmap, collateral, and market research, and you will collaborate with Grafana leadership on fine-tuning your product’s goals. You will be the primary advocate and expert in your area, with a strong ability to communicate needs, functionality, and details effectively both to external customers and internal stakeholders. The teams and people you will be interacting with will be 100% remote and globally distributed, so strong and proactive communication is essential.

Product Managers are the bridge that connect Engineering, Design, and UX to GTM. You are a facilitator who ensures the free flow of information across these teams and are expected to be technically proficient when representing our products to our customers.

The opportunity:

As the Product Manager for Application Observability (App O11y), you’ll be responsible for helping application developers and SREs understand how their applications are performing, what’s affecting their users, and where to focus when something goes wrong. You’ll continue to build App O11y on top of the Knowledge Graph and fully integrate high-fidelity signals like traces and profiles, making all three first-class parts of the product experience. You’ll bring these capabilities together into our full-stack observability experience, alongside our Drilldown products, while building AI-first workflows that help customers investigate issues, understand root cause, and take action beyond static experiences.

Your primary responsibility will be to define the vision and roadmap that takes App O11y into its next wave of adoption and revenue growth. This will require heavy customer discovery, using product data to understand where users get stuck, and working with your engineering and design partners to turn those needs into clear priorities. You’ll balance new product opportunities with the depth, performance, and reliability customers need from tracing and profiling, while working across R&D to ensure App O11y is tightly woven into our broader Grafana Cloud suite.

You’ll also work closely with PMM and GTM to help customers understand the value of App O11y. This includes shaping pricing and packaging that make it easy to get started and grow with the product. You’ll regularly review customer feedback and usage data to understand what’s working and where people get stuck, and then be accountable for turning what you learn into stronger adoption and revenue growth.

As a Product Manager at Grafana Labs, you will:

Transform ideas and feedback into a product vision and roadmap
Empathize with customer problems in order to collect user needs, requirements, and pain points
Curate and properly represent user feedback to Engineering, while providing evidence to support tradeoffs and priorities
Work closely with PMM to enable GTM on product differentiation, including creating and updating presentations, documentation, website content, datasheets, and whitepapers.
Use your deep product expertise to make decisions about our go-to-market strategies, pricing, packaging, licensing and tiering.

A BS/BA in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent work experience
5+ years of experience in Product Management
5+ years of experience in a B2B SaaS product
Experience using or building observability products, telemetry databases, and/or developer tools, either as a practitioner or for external customers
A strong understanding of application architectures and distributed systems, with the ability to discuss tradeoffs in telemetry ingestion, storage, querying, and the workflows built on top
Experience working with Engineering and Design teams to build delightful products and features with sound UX in a fast-paced environment
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders

Bonus Points:

Experience with OpenTelemetry, application instrumentation, SDKs, and telemetry collectors
Experience with distributed tracing or continuous profiling systems, such as Grafana Tempo or Grafana Pyroscope
Experience with eBPF and/or automatic instrumentation
Experience with open source software and/or commercial open source companies
Experience defining or evolving pricing and packaging for consumption-based or product-led SaaS offerings
Experience operating applications in production, being on call, or troubleshooting performance and reliability issues
