We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to drive product strategy, execution, and operational readiness for the SDN (software defined networking) Control Plane and associated SDN buildout responsibilities. This PM will be accountable for turning control-plane capabilities and buildout execution into repeatable, well-documented, automation-first delivery that scales across regulated and sovereign environments reducing timeline risk, improving predictability, and enabling dependent platform services to onboard safely and consistently. This role sits at the intersection of service onboarding, buildout automation, and release/health validation for SDN infrastructure, ensuring the control plane and its dependent experiences can be delivered with reliable processes (rather than ad-hoc manual execution) in environments where buildouts historically carry schedule and documentation risk.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
