About the Role
This is a deeply technical, highly hands-on role at the core of our platform. You will own product areas across the full Matia platform, spanning Ingestion, Reverse ETL, Observability, and Catalog. You will establish Matia's product culture in the US and shape how we build for years to come.
Responsibilities
- Take end-to-end ownership of product areas spanning Ingestion, Reverse ETL, Observability, and Catalog, translating complex technical and data challenges into clear priorities, crisp specifications, and measurable outcomes.
- Immerse yourself in the nooks and crannies of database replication and pipelines, including Postgres WAL and logical decoding, MySQL binlog, CDC edge cases, sync performance, and schema evolution, and turn that depth into better product decisions.
- Speak regularly with customers to uncover pain points, validate product direction, and ensure what we build resonates with real-world data teams. Represent customer needs in every roadmap conversation.
- Build strong remote working relationships with our Israel-based engineering team. Write specs that stand on their own, communicate asynchronously with precision, and engage deeply on technical tradeoffs.
- Continuously refine the roadmap based on data, user feedback, and results. Focus engineering effort on the highest-impact work, making tough tradeoffs and cutting scope when needed to ship faster and learn sooner.
- Develop a sharp point of view on the data integration and observability market, and use it to inform positioning, prioritization, and where Matia can win.
- Work with the VP of Product to establish Matia's product rituals and standards, from specs and prioritization frameworks to how we define success and learn from customers.
Requirements
- 5+ years as a Product Manager, with at least 2 years on data-intensive or infrastructure products (data pipelines, databases, observability, data catalogs, developer tools).
- Genuine working knowledge of relational database internals, especially Postgres and MySQL: replication mechanisms, change data capture, transaction logs, schema evolution, and performance characteristics.
- Strong SQL, comfort reasoning about data structures and data quality (freshness, completeness, lineage), and the ability to engage deeply with engineers on tradeoffs.
- Demonstrated success shipping technical products end-to-end, from discovery through delivery with clear metrics moved.
- Comfortable and credible in front of technical customers, from data engineers to heads of data, and able to translate their problems into product direction.
- A track record of working effectively with distributed engineering teams. Writing-first, proactive, and able to keep momentum across time zones.
- Hungry. Thrives in hectic, noisy, resource-constrained environments. Able to work with ambiguity, act autonomously, and keep engineers focused on outcomes.
- Skilled at using modern AI tools (e.g., for research, drafting specs, analyzing data) to accelerate product workflows and increase day-to-day velocity.
- Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without company sponsorship now or in the future.
