Product Manager, Union.ai Platform

Product Manager, Union.ai Platform ABOUT US At Union, we are solving one of the hardest challenges in AI infrastructure today: enabling high-velocity iteration while maintaining seamless production-readiness for AI workloads at scale. Flyte https://flyte.org/, the open-source project we steward, has emerged as the modern standard for data and AI orchestration, and is trusted by leading technology organizations including LinkedIn, Stripe, and Wayve to run millions of mission-critical workflows on the platform. These workflows comprise data preparation, model training, and scaled inference spanning thousands of GPUs, all major clouds, and on-premise infrastructure. We have a technical founding team who created Flyte while at Lyft, a deep bench of infrastructure experts from top companies, and have raised from top investors like NEA and Nava Ventures. THE ROLE We are seeking a technical, customer-obsessed Product Manager to own the platform operator experience for Union: the end-to-end journey of how customers evaluate, deploy, configure, and operate Union in their Kubernetes and cloud/on-prem environments. This is not an internal “platform PM” role. Your primary stakeholders are Platform Operators (customer AI/ML platform teams, SREs, and DevOps engineers) who are the first people to interact with Union while trialing, deploying, and managing the platform. Your charter is to make Union feel like it was designed with platform operators in mind – from the first CLI command, to a production-ready installation, to day-2 operations and observability – while scaling sustainably across a growing deployment matrix. You will work directly with the CEO and engineering leadership to set product direction, and you will be expected to operate with a high degree of independence. While your primary ownership area is the platform operator experience, you should bring the product intuition and breadth to flex across the full product portfolio as the company’s needs evolve. WHAT YOU’LL OWN You will own the Union platform interface used by platform operators, including: - Evaluation & onboarding: local sandbox / quickstart flows, “first successful run” experience, installation prerequisites, and guided setup. - Distribution & packaging: the supported install surface (e.g., Helm chart interfaces, configuration model, versioning/upgrade story, validation, and release ergonomics). - Diagnostics & reliability tooling: CLI diagnostics, preflight checks, and logging that reduce time-to-resolution. - Operational observability: health and status views for the Union control plane and runtime path; clear mental models for clusters, namespaces, capacity, and workload placement. - Supported deployment matrix: deciding what we support (and how), then making it excellent – balancing flexibility with operational scalability. - Enterprise customer engagement: Engage directly with enterprise prospects and customers to run discovery sessions, design partnerships, and feedback loops. Translate field insights into product priorities and validate roadmap decisions against real customer pain. - Go-to-market collaboration: Partner with sales, solutions engineering, and customer success to define positioning, packaging, and enablement for the operator experience. Own the product narrative for your area. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE A successful PM in this role drives a visible step-change on three axes: - World-class onboarding + operations for platform operators Platform teams can go from “heard about Union” → “deployed safely” → “confident operating it” with minimal friction, clear docs, and crisp tooling. - A broader, clearer supported deployment surface area We expand where Union can be deployed reliably (across clouds/on‑prem and common enterprise environments) while reducing one‑off “snowflake” deployments. - A “paved road” that reduces friction and improves architectural efficiency We deliver default configurations that “just work” for mid‑market ...
