Sr Product Manager - IC

Job description

# About SigNoz SigNoz is an open-source observability platform that helps modern engineering teams monitor, debug, and optimize their applications with deep visibility into metrics, traces, and logs — all in one place. We’re built natively on OpenTelemetry and offer both self-hosted and cloud options, so teams can run observability the way they want, without vendor lock-in. We are growing fast and building core developer infra products. And we are not fooling around: - 27,000+ GitHub stars - 800+ customers - 7,000+ members in our Slack community ## Role: Sr Product Manager - IC We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own the product for a developer-infrastructure platform used by engineers every single day. This is a hands-on IC role: you'll go deep on the product surface, talk to power users constantly, and ship things that make complex observability workflows feel obvious. Our users are demanding, technical, and detail-driven — so you'll need to be too. ## What you’ll work on - **Alerts:** Own the alerting experience end-to-end — rule creation, thresholds, anomaly detection, routing, and notifications — making it powerful for SREs while cutting alert fatigue through smarter grouping and signal-to-noise tuning, so on-call engineers trust what fires and land straight in the relevant data. - **APM:** Shape the application performance monitoring experience — service maps, latency/error/throughput views, and span analysis — and drive the "something's slow" → "here's the exact bottleneck" workflow that gets engineers to root cause fast. - **Onboarding:** Own the path from sign-up to first real value — instrumentation, first telemetry, first useful dashboard — reducing time-to-first-insight across language SDKs, collectors, and common frameworks, while respecting power users who want to skip the hand-holding. - **Connected investigations:** Define how alerts, APM, metrics, traces, and logs come together into a single coherent investigation rather than disconnected tabs, closing the loop from signal to root cause. - **Observability UX:** Sweat the details that matter to power users — query speed, sensible defaults, empty states, keyboard-driven workflows, the 50th query of the day — and make exploring high-cardinality, petabyte-scale data feel obvious rather than overwhelming. ## What will make you successful - 5–8+ years in product management, with proven product work shipped at a B2B company - A track record of building product-centric, user-experience-led products — you're not just a backlog manager; you obsess over the actual experience - Deep attention to detail and high standards for power users — you sweat the empty states, the keyboard shortcuts, the defaults, the 50th query of the day, not just the demo path - Ability to drive initiatives end-to-end: problem discovery → definition → design → implementation → rollout → iteration - Strong technical fluency — you can read API docs, reason about data and systems, and earn the respect of senior engineers - Excellent written communication — clear PRDs, crisp tradeoff write-ups, and decisions documented for an async team - Comfortable in a high-ownership, fast-moving, remote-first environment ## Nice-to-haves - Past experience in product team of a series B+ startup. - Experience in observability (monitoring / logging / tracing) - Familiarity with OpenTelemetry and/or ClickHouse, Kafka, Kubernetes, etc. - Has been, or wants to be, a founder in B2B/devtools ## Why you’ll love working at SigNoz - Work on a globally used open-source project that engineers actually love - Huge scope and ownership – your work directly shapes how teams adopt SigNoz - Collaborate with high-caliber team who just can't stop shipping - Remote-first, async-friendly culture - Opportunity to help define the future of open-source observability
