Staff Product Manager

About the Role: vCluster Labs is a venture-backed tech startup pioneering Kubernetes virtualization for the AI era. We are hiring a Staff Product Manager to own the technical direction across one of three product surfaces — the vCluster platform, vNode, or vMetal. You will partner directly with the Head of Product and Engineering leadership to shape the product's trajectory.

What You'll Do

• Set the roadmap for your product surface and translate strategy into specs engineering can execute against.
• Work directly with leadership on architecture tradeoffs that determine the product's trajectory.
• Run alpha and beta builds yourself to catch integration issues before customers do.
• Engage directly with platform engineers at AI Cloud operators and large internal platform teams.
• Bridge engineering, sales, and marketing so what we ship matches how we sell and support it.

What You Bring

• 6+ years in product management within cloud infrastructure, platform services, or distributed systems.
• Kubernetes fluency at the implementation level (controllers, CRDs, API machinery, admission webhooks).
• Customer-facing infrastructure experience, comfortable conversing with platform engineers and architects.
• Bonus: Experience building Kubernetes-as-a-Service, AI & MLOps Infrastructure, Internal Developer Platforms, or Bare Metal & HPC environments.

Benefits

• Estimated Base Salary: €115,000 – €130,000 per year, plus equity and bonus opportunities.
• Platinum-Level Insurance including health, dental, vision, and life coverage.
• Flexible working schedule focused on results rather than clocking in and out.
• Fully remote work flexibility within Germany (Berlin).
