Product Manager

About this role

Sardina Systems builds cloud infrastructure software based on OpenStack, Kubernetes, and Ceph — for cloud operators, enterprises, and service providers across the globe.

We're looking for a Product Manager who operates at the intersection of customers, partners, and our engineering team.

This is a customer-facing role with real product impact. You run demos for new leads, design system configurations, and build product ecosystems via partners — and own the market and operational insights that drive product development.

## Tasks

What You'll Be Doing:

* Work with prospective customers to assess infrastructure requirements and design custom FishOS configurations based on technical fit with their hardware
* Build and maintain relationships with channel and technology partners who extend the Sardina ecosystem
* Run product demos for inbound leads and product opportunities
* Translate customer needs into actionable product feedback — you're the main signal source for what gets built
* Support customers through the full cycle: demo, configuration, contracting, and go-live
* Coordinate with the engineering team on delivery, ensuring customer commitments are realistic and met
* Stay current on OpenStack, Kubernetes, VMware, Ceph, and adjacent market developments

## Requirements

What You'll Need:

* 3+ years in technical product management, solutions engineering, or a pre-sales role in enterprise software or cloud infrastructure
* Strong enough technical understanding to work with system architecture and hardware fit — you don't write code, but you can read a configuration and know what questions to ask
* Comfortable running demos and presenting to both technical and business audiences
* Experience working with channel partners and resellers
* Self-directed and able to manage multiple customer engagements simultaneously
* Able to translate complex infrastructure concepts into clear language without losing accuracy ...
