Staff Product Manager

San Jose, CA, USA

Veeam is the Data and AI Trust Company, specializing in helping organizations ensure their data and AI are fully understood, secured, and resilient to enable the acceleration of safe AI at scale. As the market leader in both data resilience and data security posture management, Veeam is built for the convergence of identity, data, security, and AI risk. Headquartered in Seattle with offices in more than 30 countries, Veeam protects over 550,000 customers worldwide, who trust Veeam to keep their businesses running. Join us as we go fearlessly forward together, growing, learning, and making a real impact for some of the world’s biggest brands.

The Veeam Kasten team is looking for a high-agency, hands-on Technical Staff Product Manager to help shape the future of cloud-native data protection. Kasten is a multi-time Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Kubernetes Data Protection report, and we sit at the cutting edge of one of the fastest-growing markets in infrastructure software. You’ll join a friendly, fast-moving team of builders who win together and move quickly through uncharted territory. 

This is a senior individual contributor role — there are no direct reports, and your impact comes from what you build, ship, and influence, not from the size of an org chart. You’ll spin up your own environments in the cloud, get your hands dirty with Kubernetes, test and tinker until you understand the “why,” and then evangelize what you’ve learned to customers, partners, and the engineering team. You’ll thrive here if you love building, form your convictions through rigorous, data-centric analysis, and can bring others along once you’ve convinced yourself. 

What You’ll Do 

  • Partner shoulder-to-shoulder with engineering. Work closely with a world-class, globally distributed development team and the community to break complex problems into simple, shippable steps and drive sprint planning. 
  • Own the “why.” Articulate why we are building what we’re building, grounded in rigorous, data-centric analysis, and bring engineers, customers, and leadership along once the merits are clear. 
  • Evangelize and gather feedback. When it’s time to showcase, build compelling demos and proofs of concept and evangelize Kasten with customers, partners, and at analyst and community events — then close the loop and iterate. 
  • Engage customers and the field. Work directly with customers and sales teams to understand real-world usage, identify growth opportunities, and continuously sharpen the roadmap. 
  • Launch and scale. Define, prioritize, and execute end-to-end product development — including new initiatives for Kubernetes data protection and modern virtualization environments. 
  • Measure what matters. Define and track success metrics for your product areas, and use them to inform what we build next. 
  • Strengthen the ecosystem. Enable tighter integration with alliance and ecosystem partners to deliver value to customers faster. 

What You’ll Bring 

  • Deep Kubernetes and cloud-native expertise. Hands-on knowledge of Kubernetes and the broader cloud-native domain (e.g., Red Hat OpenShift, AWS, Azure, GCP) — comfortable setting up and operating your own environments in the cloud. 
  • A genuine love for building and technology. A tinkerer at heart who tests, breaks, and learns, and who is hands-on enough to build and showcase demos that highlight product capabilities. 
  • Relevant background. Prior experience in sales engineering and product management; technical roles such as field/partner solutions architecture, DevOps, or technical marketing engineering are a strong plus. 
  • First-principles problem solving. Ability to break complex problems into simple steps and a data-centric mindset that forms convictions through rigorous analysis. 
  • Influence without authority. Strong communication skills to engage engineers, enterprise customers, and senior leadership — and to persuade once you’ve convinced yourself of the merits. 
  • High agency in fast-moving environments. A self-starter who navigates uncharted waters, manages multiple initiatives at once, and thrives in an agile, non-hierarchical setting rather than a waterfall one. 
  • A team-first approach. A can-do collaborator who wins as a team, builds alignment across the organization, and executes. 
  • A track record of shipping. Proven experience bringing new products and capabilities successfully to market. 
  • Willingness to travel. Open to travel for customer meetings, partner activities, and conferences. 

Bonus Skills 

  • Experience in the data protection industry, including exposure to storage and database ecosystems, particularly those related to protection APIs. 
  • Active participation or contributions in the CNCF / open-source cloud-native community.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
