About Us

At Union, we are solving one of the hardest challenges in AI infrastructure today: enabling high-velocity iteration while maintaining seamless production-readiness for AI workloads at scale. Flyte, the open-source project we steward, is the emerging standard for modern data and AI orchestration, with numerous leading technology organizations - like LinkedIn, Spotify, and Gojek - running millions of mission-critical workloads on the platform. We have a deep bench of infrastructure veterans from companies in the Big Three and beyond and a technical founding team who originally created Flyte while at Lyft.

We have a technical founding team who created Flyte while at Lyft, a deep bench of infrastructure experts from top companies, and have raised from top investors like NEA and Nava Ventures.

The Role: Product Manager, Platform Distribution

We are seeking a technical and customer-focused Product Manager to own the Platform Distribution experience. In this critical role, you will define the strategy and roadmap for how our core product is packaged, deployed, and delivered across cloud and on-premise environments.

Your primary stakeholders will be Platform Operators - customer AI/ML platform teams who deploy, configure, and operate our platform inside their organizations. You will be responsible for creating a distribution vehicle (including packaging and deployment tooling) that is easy, extensible, secure, and highly reliable.

Success in this role means navigating the tradeoff between deployment flexibility and operational scalability – dramatically reducing the friction and time-to-deployment for our customers while avoiding “snowflake” deployments and building the foundation for us to sustainably scale to thousands of customers.

You are ultimately responsible for shipping an end-to-end product experience for Platform Operators, composing onboarding, configuration, and operational observability and tooling.

You will work at the intersection of product strategy, platform engineering, and developer experience, ensuring that our product evolves to meet growing scale and diverse use cases.

What You'll Be Doing

• Strategy & Roadmap: Define the long-term vision and strategy for our platform distribution system, aligning it with broader platform architecture and core product goals. Translate the vision into a detailed, prioritized, and well-articulated roadmap.

• Customer Obsession: Deeply understand the Platform Operator persona through interviews, usage metrics, and possibly your own experience. Identify pain points related to packaging, configuration, deployment, and operational maintenance.

• Product Execution: Work closely with your team of designers and engineers to write clear, technically sound product specs, then drive development through initial launch and subsequent iterations.

• Metrics & Success: Define key performance indicators (KPIs) for Union’s platform distribution system and continuously measure and report on progress.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with customer Security, Infrastructure, and Product teams to ensure the distribution strategy meets compliance requirements and enables their specific product needs.

• Product Enablement: Work closely with Marketing, Sales, Customer Success, and Partnerships teams to broaden understanding of our platform distribution system to ensure consistency across customer-facing communications.
  

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications

• Technical product management experience: 3+ years of experience as a Product Manager focused on AI/ML tooling, developer platforms, or distribution/delivery systems.

• Deep platform knowledge: Strong familiarity with modern deployment paradigms, including container orchestration technologies (i.e. Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC).

• Product taste: A demonstrated track record of shipping opinionated, high-craft, end-to-end product experiences that delight users.

• Engineering empathy: A demonstrated ability to effectively communicate and build trust with senior Platform Engineers.

• Data-driven: Proficiency in using quantitative and qualitative data to drive product decisions and prioritize technical work.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior experience shipping, operationalizing, and scaling infrastructure products deployed into customers' clouds (i.e. BYOC or bring-your-own-cloud) or on-premise (i.e. self-hosted) environments.

• Prior experience as a Software Engineer, specifically in infrastructure or a platform team.

• Experience building onboarding flows, documentation, and product observability/metrics for self-serve products.
