• Work with IDEs, frameworks, and AI coding tools to integrate Aiven into the environments developers already use.
• Help make PostgreSQL the most natural choice for modern application development by reducing friction and improving usability.
• Support enterprise deals and customer expansion by aligning developer-experience improvements with commercial goals.
• Partner across engineering, design, sales, and go-to-market teams to convert technical depth into polished user experiences.
• Use metrics such as activation, engagement, retention, and expansion to measure product success.

What we’re looking for

• 3 to 5+ years of product management experience, preferably in databases, developer platforms, or cloud products.
• Ability to simplify technical complexity into intuitive product experiences.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments while bringing structure and prioritization.
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and/or relational database systems.
• Experience defining product capabilities and taking them through launch.
• Strong teamwork skills and the ability to collaborate well with engineers, sales teams, and developer communities.
• Excellent communication and narrative-building skills to align stakeholders and drive adoption.

• Hybrid working arrangement for better work-life balance.
• Choice of equipment needed to do your best work.
• Access to a Professional Development Plan budget for learning and growth.
• Global Employee Assistance Program for wellbeing support.
