We’re looking for an experienced, high bandwidth Product Manager who excels at both strategy and operational aspects of the role. The first assignment will be Kentik Cloud. Kentik Cloud provides customers the ability to observe their public and hybrid cloud environments, and understand how the network impacts user experience, application performance, costs, and security. It shows a unified end-to-end network view to, from, and across public clouds, the internet, and on-premises infrastructures. It supports all major public cloud environments, and provides details on path, performance, traffic, connectivity type, and associated costs. A newer module, Kentik Kube, takes eBPF and other telemetry to show all of the above in Kubernetes environments.
