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. At Aiven, we are building the best platform to build production applications and AI agents. Our ambitious vision requires a Product Manager to help shape how developers and builders create, deploy and run production apps and agents. Aiven believes that the apps and agents that matter rely on data, need to scale and are built on open source technologies. This is the foundation of our Apps platform.

Aiven's global data platform is the foundation to build this platform through a methodical product - sales and agent lead growth strategy. You will work closely with a growth team of engineers, designers and other specialists bringing this vision to reality. You will be hands-on with customers and internal stakeholders to drive delivery and iteration speed.
