With a culture that values innovation, growth, and continuous learning, IBM Software places you at the heart of IBM's product and technology landscape. Here, you'll have the tools and opportunities to advance your career while creating software that changes the world. Your Role and Responsibilities About the Role: Today, enterprises stitch together separate systems for streaming, analytics, and serving. Each of these systems come with its own latency, cost, and operational overhead. The next evolution of Confluent's platform collapses that complexity by continuously materializing streaming data into fast, queryable state that serves real-time analytics, operational applications, and downstream intelligent systems from a single foundation. As a Staff Product Manager, you'll own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the core streaming analytics engine underlying Confluent's real-time data platform. This system sits at the intersection of stream processing, real-time analytical databases, and modern serving infrastructure, continuously transforming data in motion into low-latency, queryable materialized views that power AI agents, dashboards, operational queries, and event-driven applications. You'll own the engine: the storage, materialization, query layer, and performance, while partnering with peer product managers who own the downstream product experiences built on top of it. This is a foundational, high-leverage role. You'll define a new product category that brings together concepts from streaming analytics, real-time OLAP, materialized views, and modern database systems into a cloud-native, streaming-first architecture. You'll partner directly with engineering, design, and senior leadership to bring this to market and position Confluent as a compelling alternative to standalone real-time analytical databases. What You Will Do: Own the product strategy for Confluent's streaming analytics engine: storage, materialization, query serving, performance, and developer experience. Develop competitive strategy against established real-time analytical databases, articulating Confluent's differentiated value as a streaming-native alternative. Drive key architectural and product tradeoffs across consistency, latency, query performance, cost, and developer ergonomics. Partner deeply with engineering to navigate the technical complexity of building a new cloud-native data system at scale. Collaborate with peer product managers who own downstream experiences including AI, context delivery, and application integration, to ensure the engine meets the needs of the products built on it. Work with customers and design partners to validate use cases across real-time analytics, operational applications, and AI, shaping the developer experience and refining go-to-market positioning. Collaborate with Confluent's broader product and platform teams to ensure tight integration with Kafka, Flink, and Confluent Cloud. Define success metrics, cost models, and pricing strategy for a new product area. Influence Confluent's company-wide platform strategy through executive-level communication and cross-functional leadership. Required Skills What You Will Bring: Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. 8+ years of experience in product management or related technical roles. 5+ years of experience taking technical infrastructure or data products from conception to launch. Deep familiarity with real-time analytics, database internals, or streaming data platform architecture, either through product management or hands-on engineering. Experience defining and launching products in the data infrastructure, analytics database, or stream processing space. Strong technical judgment, comfortable navigating tradeoffs in distributed systems, storage engines, query performance, and cost optimization. Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives with executive-level visibility and communicating technical strategy to senior leadership. Preferred Skills Engineering background in analytical databases, stream processing, or distributed storage systems. Experience with real-time OLAP engines (e.g., ClickHouse, Apache Druid, StarRocks, Apache Pinot) as a builder, product manager, or power user. Familiarity with Kafka, Flink, or similar streaming infrastructure. Experience building products that serve AI/ML workloads for retrieval, feature serving, or context delivery. Prior experience with cloud-native infrastructure products and consumption-based pricing models. Experience working on open source data infrastructure projects. Additional Details (US) IBM offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits program. Eligible employees may have access to: - Healthcare benefits including medical & prescription drug coverage, dental, vision, and mental health & well being - Financial programs such as 401(k), cash balance pension plan, the IBM Employee Stock Purchase Plan, financial counseling, life insurance, short & long- term disability coverage, and opportunities for performance based salary incentive programs - Generous paid time off including 12 holidays, minimum 56 hours sick time, 120 hours vacation, 12 weeks parental bonding leave in accordance with IBM Policy, and other Paid Care Leave programs.
