As a Product Manager on the Lakeflow Jobs team, you will shape the future of data-aware orchestration on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Jobs is Databricks’ built-in orchestrator, managing hundreds of millions of workloads every week with 99.95% reliability. It powers ETL, AI/ML, BI, and streaming workloads for thousands of customers. Your focus will be on evolving control-flow capabilities, authoring experiences, and observability features that allow customers to productionize workflows with best practices like source control, code promotion, and system observability.
This role requires a deep understanding of orchestration workflows, data pipelines, and service reliability. You will work closely with engineers, designers, field teams, and customers to define the roadmap, drive adoption, and ensure Jobs is the best-in-class orchestration platform for modern data and AI teams.

- Drive metrics & observability: Define success metrics for adoption, engagement, and developer efficiency. Use data to guide roadmap decisions and refine the product experience.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with global engineering, field engineering, solution architects, and external partners to deliver impactful features and integrations.
- Champion customer needs: Talk to hundreds of customers, understand their journeys, and advocate for features that reduce friction in authoring, monitoring, and orchestrating workloads.
- Own the product lifecycle: Write PRDs, release notes, and documentation, and drive launches that ensure customer and business success.
What we look for:
- 5+ yrs of experience
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science or similar field
