Job Description
We’re a global team of over 400 people, working together to push the boundaries of open-source technology and multi-cloud solutions. Our vision is to help developers, builders, and creators bring their ideas to life with speed and simplicity, by providing a cloud data platform that makes open-source databases, search, streaming, and application infrastructure easily accessible to everyone. The Role: We are looking for a Product Manager to own the Postgres Ecosystem and Analytics at Aiven. Your mission is to make building applications on Postgres not just reliable, but delightful — removing friction, accelerating time-to-value, and creating a developer journey that feels effortless from setup to scale. What You’ll Do: - Make the complex simple: Translate advanced database features into intuitive, developer-friendly workflows and APIs. - Own the roadmap: Define, prioritize, and drive the PostgreSQL developer experience roadmap end-to-end. - Design golden paths: Create opinionated best practices (branching, migrations, schema management etc) that guide developers toward success quickly. - Build integrations: Partner with IDEs, frameworks, and AI coding assistants to meet developers where they already work. - Drive adoption: Ensure Postgres is the easiest choice for developers — the database that “just works” when building modern apps. - Partner with sales & customer success: Support deals and enterprise adoption by aligning devex features with business needs. - Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with engineering, design, and GTM to turn complex technical capabilities into elegant, usable experiences. - Measure success: Track developer activation, engagement, retention, and expansion as core KPIs. What We’re Looking For: - 3 to 5+ years in product management, ideally in databases, developer platforms, or cloud services. - Proven ability to simplify complex technical features into intuitive developer experiences. - Comfortable bringing clarity and prioritization in ambiguous, fast-changing environments. - Good understanding of PostgreSQL and/or relational databases - Proven record of defining product features and bringing them to market - Strong collaboration skills; equally comfortable working with engineers, sales teams, and developer communities. - Excellent communication and storytelling ability to align teams and inspire adoption. Amazing! What’s next: If you think Aiven is the place for you and that our Values align with yours, send us your resume and we’ll get in touch! Global Benefits: Our global benefits are designed to help you thrive and grow, personally and professionally: - Participate in Aiven’s equity plan. - Balance work and life with our hybrid work policy. - Choose the equipment you need to set yourself up for success. - Use your Professional Development Plan budget for learning opportunities. - Receive holistic wellbeing support through our global Employee Assistance Program. - Inquire about our Global Time Off Commitment (Parental and Sick Leave, as well as Personal Time) - Enjoy country-specific benefits for our global cast.
