Addepar is a global data and AI platform serving 1,500+ firms managing nearly $10 trillion in assets. The company unifies portfolio, market, and client data to deliver AI-powered insights within investment and client workflows.
You will own the product roadmap for Addepar's Observability and Compute/Network teams within Foundation Engineering. This is an infrastructure-focused product role where you'll define how engineers understand system health (metrics, logs, tracing, alerting, on-call tooling, SLOs) and the compute/networking substrate their services run on (provisioning, container orchestration, networking, security posture, capacity planning, cost).
Key responsibilities include:
- Own and evolve the product roadmap spanning observability platforms, alerting, SLO frameworks, dashboards, compute provisioning, container orchestration, networking, service mesh, capacity planning, and infrastructure cost management
- Partner with Foundation Engineering leadership to balance reliability, security, developer needs, capacity constraints, and cost into a prioritized roadmap
- Define and track outcomes (SLO attainment, MTTD/MTTR, self-service adoption, provisioning lead time, infrastructure cost per unit) to drive investment decisions
- Drive self-service infrastructure: make instrumentation, dashboards, and provisioning available through secure, policy-compliant paved paths
- Collaborate with Information Security and Risk to translate security requirements into roadmap priorities
- Gather feedback from engineering teams via incident retrospectives, surveys, and direct engagement to identify gaps
- Represent roadmaps to platform leadership and cross-functional partners; communicate tradeoffs and progress
- Monitor industry trends in observability (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, Datadog) and compute/network infrastructure (Kubernetes, service mesh, cloud networking, cost optimization) to inform build-vs-buy decisions
You'll report to product leadership within Developer Platform and work day-to-day with engineering leadership for Observability and Compute/Network teams.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Prior product management experience, ideally owning infrastructure-facing products (observability, SRE tooling, cloud compute, or networking platforms)
- Demonstrated ability to define product roadmaps and deliver infrastructure capabilities, translating ambiguous reliability and capacity problems into scoped, prioritized work
- Working technical fluency in observability (metrics, logs, distributed tracing, SLOs/error budgets) or compute/networking (cloud compute, containers/Kubernetes, networking), with ability to build fluency across both domains
- Track record managing product development for infrastructure/platform capabilities with multiple engineering stakeholders and competing priorities
- Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills to align engineering leads, platform leadership, and product teams around shared roadmaps
- Ability to prioritize investments based on reliability, security, and cost (MTTD/MTTR, SLO attainment, vulnerability remediation SLAs, infrastructure cost efficiency)
- Experience evaluating, delivering, or driving adoption of observability platforms (Sumo Logic, Wavefront, Sentry, or similar) or compute/network tooling (Kubernetes, Terraform, cloud-provider networking or cost-management tools)
- Familiarity with SRE practices: SLOs, error budgets, incident management, on-call process design
- Familiarity with financial services or other regulated-industry engineering environments (preferred)
- Experience driving infrastructure adoption and self-service models across large, distributed engineering organizations (preferred)
- Experience partnering with globally distributed engineering teams across time zones (preferred)
