About the role

CelerData is looking for a Product Manager to join our database platform PM team. This is a generalist PM role that spans core database features, cloud deployment and user experience.

You will work closely with senior PMs, engineers, designers, and customers to define, design, and deliver improvements across database functionality, operational workflows, and product UX, while also helping drive execution and delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Product Discovery & User Understanding

• Develop a strong understanding of how users interact with databases and analytics systems—from schema design and query authoring to performance tuning and operations.
• Participate in customer calls, demos, usability reviews, and feedback sessions.
• Translate customer feedback into actionable product requirements and UX improvements.
• Help validate product decisions using real customer scenarios and usage patterns.

UX & Product Experience

• Contribute to and, for some areas, own the user experience across database, cloud, and UI surfaces.
• Translate product requirements and complex database concepts into clear UX artifacts that engineers can implement.
• Create and maintain UX flows, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups in Figma.
• Ensure consistency, usability, and intuitive end-to-end experiences across the product.
• Work closely with engineering to ensure UX and product behavior align with design intent.

Product Development and execution

• Help define and track product requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria).
• Coordinate with engineering to track sprint commitments and deliverables.
• Follow up on dependencies, open questions, and execution gaps across teams.
• Maintain Jira (or equivalent) boards: grooming tickets, tracking progress, and ensuring clarity.

Qualifications

• 2–5 years of experience in Product Management, Associate PM, or UX-heavy product roles in developer-facing or infrastructure products.
• Demonstrable hands‑on experience with Figma (must be able to share portfolio or examples).
• Strong interest in databases, data infrastructure, or analytics systems.
• Ability to reason about technical systems and user workflows.
• Experience working with engineering teams in Agile / Scrum environments.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Experience with Figma or similar tools to express product and UX ideas.

Nice‑to‑Have Skills

• Experience with databases, SQL engines or cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with tools like Jira, Confluence, Notion, Linear, or similar.
