Overview
Own the roadmap and delivery for a defined set of platform capabilities within Cloud Common Services (CCS)/Atmos, Guidewire's "PaaS within SaaS" layer, treating platform infrastructure as a product for internal engineering teams and external insurer customers.
What you'll do
- Own the roadmap and backlog for one or more platform service areas within CCS/Atmos, such as deployment tooling, observability, Kubernetes-based compute, networking, or shared platform services, in alignment with the broader CCS product strategy.
- Develop a working understanding of the Guidewire Cloud ecosystem, the multi-tenant/hybrid-tenancy architecture, and the needs of both internal developer teams and external customers.
- Treat platform infrastructure as a product: identify friction in developer workflows and define capabilities that improve productivity, self-service, and time-to-value.
- Partner with Engineering, SRE/Operations, UX, and Enablement to discover, test, refine, and prioritize solutions.
- Write clear feature requirements and user stories with well-defined use cases and acceptance criteria.
- Contribute to roadmap planning by bringing customer insight, usage data, and operational feedback to prioritization discussions.
- Support the launch of new platform services and features; define success metrics, measure adoption and performance, and iterate.
- Be a power user of the platform capabilities you build.
- Communicate progress, trade-offs, and outcomes clearly to engineering teams and stakeholders.
- Embrace a culture of curiosity, innovation, and responsible use of AI, using emerging tools and data-driven insights to improve how you and your teams work.
What you'll need
- 6–10 years of overall work experience.
- A minimum of 1–2 years in Product Management (or a product-adjacent role such as technical program management, solutions engineering, or platform engineering with product responsibilities).
- Experience working on platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products, as a product manager or in a technical role (engineering, SRE, DevOps, solutions/technical program management) with a demonstrated interest in moving into product management.
- Solid understanding of AWS services and cloud-native architectures.
- Understanding of containerization and container orchestration (Docker and Kubernetes) and the basics of running services at scale.
- Familiarity with core platform concerns such as CI/CD, observability/monitoring, networking, multi-tenancy, reliability (SLO/SLA), and cost awareness.
- Ability to translate customer and developer needs into clear requirements and acceptance criteria.
- Comfortable managing and prioritizing a product backlog and working in agile delivery cycles.
- Collaborates effectively with engineering and operations teams through design, development, testing, release, and maintenance.
- Uses data and customer feedback to inform decisions and measure outcomes.
- Communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Eager to learn, take ownership, and grow into broader product strategy responsibilities.
Nice to have
- Exposure to identity and access management concepts (SAML, OIDC/OAuth 2.0, SSO, SCIM) and how they apply to platform services.
- Experience with load balancing and networking in cloud environments.
- AWS Cloud Practitioner (or higher) certification.
- Familiarity with Aha! and JIRA.
- Prior experience in a SaaS or enterprise software environment.
