Product Manager - Tech Delivery

• Define the product vision, multiyear roadmap, service portfolio, technology investment priorities, and measurable outcomes for enterprise middleware and application runtime platforms

• Modernize existing products by simplifying service variants, standardizing supported patterns, containerizing where appropriate, reducing technical debt, and establishing clear upgrade and retirement paths

• Drive Middleware as a Service and Runtime as a Service capabilities that can be provisioned and managed through APIs, approved Terraform modules, Ansible automation, CI/CD, and catalog-driven self-service workflows

• Create an AWS-like consumption experience with standardized service APIs, automated policy enforcement, declarative configuration, lifecycle automation, transparent service levels, and minimal manual platform-team involvement

• Partner with architecture and engineering to establish reusable blueprints and reference patterns for virtual machines, containers, Kubernetes/OpenShift, embedded runtimes, private cloud, and public cloud

• Own platform adoption, onboarding, documentation, developer enablement, product communications, vendor strategy, licensing optimization, and value realization

• Define the enterprise application runtime strategy for agentic applications, ensuring that new agent capabilities are provided as governed, reusable platform services rather than isolated application implementations 

• Agentic application platform strategy: As applications evolve from deterministic services into AI agents that reason, invoke tools, retain context, coordinate work, and initiate actions, the middleware layer must evolve from application hosting into a governed agent execution and integration platform

• Generates the vision and roadmap for the program based on customer requirements, industry trends, regulations, and the strategic direction for the business or technology domain

• Communicates the program vision and roadmap to stakeholders, product owners and the teams

• Oversees the budget(s) for one or more products by working closely with finance partners on both personnel and non-personnel expenses

• Provides input into defining business capabilities and aligning them to products or creating new products to support them

• Ensures product availability by partnering closely with demand and capacity teammates

• Develops business cases for new products and additional features for existing products

• Partners with the product owners and the teams to ensure that optimum value is obtained through technology and subject-matter expertise and understanding of the business and industry trends

• Own the strategy, roadmap, modernization, delivery model, adoption, and lifecycle of enterprise middleware and application runtime platforms. Transform existing products into secure, automated, API-consumable platform services delivered through Terraform, Ansible, and self-service patterns comparable to public cloud experiences

• Define the runtime and middleware strategy required as applications evolve into agentic systems

Required Qualifications: 

• 10+ years of experience in middleware, application runtimes, platform engineering, infrastructure products, cloud services, or technology product management

• Demonstrated ownership of a platform strategy, roadmap, modernization program, backlog, lifecycle, adoption model, and measurable product outcomes in a large enterprise

• Hands-on understanding of Infrastructure as Code and automation patterns using Terraform, Ansible, APIs, CI/CD, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud platform services

• Experience converting infrastructure products into standardized, reusable, self-service platform capabilities with clear APIs, service contracts, controls, and operating models  

• Strong knowledge of application runtimes, gateways, web servers, developer platforms, security, resiliency, observability, technology currency, and regulated-environment controls

Technology and product scope:

• Application runtimes 

• Tomcat, JBoss EAP, WebLogic, WebSphere, Apache HTTP Server, and embedded runtime patterns 

• Terraform, Ansible, APIs, CI/CD, service catalogs, containers, Kubernetes/OpenShift, policy as code, lifecycle automation 

• Security, IAM, encryption, resiliency, observability, recovery, capacity, performance, technology currency, audit and regulatory controls 

Desired Qualifications: 

• Working knowledge of agentic application architectures, AI gateways, agent orchestration, tool integration, memory and context patterns, agent identity, evaluation, and governance

• Strong executive communication, product judgment, stakeholder influence, vendor management, commercial planning, and cross-functional leadership skills
