Product Manager, Cloud Infrastructure

At Netflix, our mission is to entertain the world. Together, we are writing the next episode - pushing the boundaries of storytelling, global fandom and making the unimaginable a reality. We are a dream team obsessed with the uncomfortable excitement of discovering what happens when you merge creativity, intuition and cutting-edge technology. Come be a part of what’s next.

The Netflix Infrastructure Engineering organization drives business growth and innovation through a robust platform essential to Netflix's scale and operations. We minimize time spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting, streamlining developer workflows and reducing toil. This allows our engineers to concentrate on what truly matters: helping Netflix entertain the world.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Product Manager to help shape the future of our cloud infrastructure product portfolio. Cloud Infrastructure serves as the backbone for Netflix's growing scale and engineering productivity, representing a critical strategic capability spanning compute, networking, storage, infrastructure management, performance engineering, and platform services. It enables engineering velocity, scalability, cost efficiency, and operational excellence across the organization. In this role, you will drive the vision and strategy for specific areas within our cloud infrastructure domain, helping to shape key components of this foundation to optimize resources, improve developer productivity, and maintain our competitive edge as we continue to grow globally.

Based on business priorities, you'll drive key strategic initiatives such as:

• Efficiency Insights: Enabling financial accountability for cloud resources by driving a product strategy for cost visibility, optimization, and governance. You'll partner with engineering on capabilities that provide visibility into cloud spend, surface actionable recommendations, and establish cost governance controls. These tools will help teams understand their cloud costs, identify savings opportunities, and make informed resource decisions, ultimately driving more efficient use of our cloud infrastructure.

• Infrastructure Management: Driving the evolution of our infrastructure management capabilities through modern infrastructure as code solutions that provide a unified experience for configuring and managing cloud resources. You'll address challenges like fragmented interfaces and complex configuration experiences by creating a unified configuration experience (across DSL, UI, CLI, API) with intent-based interfaces that abstract away complexity while allowing users to access lower-level controls when needed. This work will reduce toil and improve productivity across teams that provide and consume infrastructure services.

This is a unique opportunity to partner with leadership to shape the future of Netflix’s cloud infrastructure, identifying highest-impact opportunities as our needs evolve and driving significant improvements in how we manage and optimize our cloud resources.

What You Will Do

• Deeply understand customer needs, product analytics, and industry innovation to drive the product vision and strategy for cloud cost efficiency and infrastructure management

• Partner with engineering teams and stakeholders to define and align on vision, strategy, and roadmaps that maximize business and customer impact

• Develop product roadmaps that execute on the product vision and inform engineering teams of what problems need to be solved

• Define how we will measure the success and effectiveness of our products and drive the execution and continuous evaluation of those metrics

• Create strong partnerships with Netflix engineers, establishing continuous feedback loops to better understand their problems

• Ensure we are solving the right problems by sourcing input from multiple channels and prioritizing effectively

• Stay informed about industry advancements, influence their direction, and conduct comprehensive buy vs. build analysis

• Ensure that our product evolution thoughtfully addresses product lifecycle and adoption/migration experience

• Help evolve Platform Engineering's customer engagement model, communication strategy, and prioritization practices

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of experience as a Technical Product Manager

• Demonstrated expertise in cloud infrastructure, preferably AWS

• Familiarity with modern infrastructure management approaches, which may include infrastructure as code, cloud resource management, or similar technologies

• Experience with infrastructure as code tools and platforms (e.g., CloudFormation, Terraform, Pulumi)

• Experience with cloud efficiency and optimization

• Experience managing and evolving products in the cloud infrastructure space

• A healthy blend of technical knowledge with a customer-focused mindset and empathy

• Strategic thinker who can connect customer use cases to technology solutions and think holistically about end-to-end experience

• Ability to adapt focus across multiple initiatives while maintaining strategic continuity

• Comfortable applying a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to define success

• Product intuition and judgment to solve problems and make decisions without perfect information

• Insatiable curiosity to learn new domains, keep up with industry innovation, and constantly ask 'why'

• Excellent communication skills; timely communication with clear expectations
