Cockroach Labs is the creator of CockroachDB. Our mission is to be the trusted global database to run mission-critical applications for the world's most important businesses. We created CockroachDB to unshackle teams from the constraints of their database.
CockroachDB handles the most critical data for the most demanding and advanced customers worldwide. But how do customers migrate from legacy databases to take advantage of CockroachDB's differentiators? Enter the migrations product area.
You will lead the migrations product area to tackle the challenging customer problem of zero-downtime live migrations from legacy database vendors to CockroachDB. Migrating customers onto CockroachDB is a crucial first step in their experience; you'll have a critical impact on our customer journey and dramatic revenue growth. Your experience with customer problems will influence the roadmap of the Database Platform and Cloud product areas.
Once the data enters CockroachDB, it must be streamed throughout a customer's application ecosystem. How do we get the data out of CockroachDB? Enter change data capture (CDC), CockroachDB's native streaming solution.
We seek an experienced Product Manager to own the overall streaming and migrations strategy, lead the roadmap, and drive consumption across our DBaaS and self-hosted offerings. You will partner closely with the Migrations and CDC Engineering teams to execute your strategy. You will act as a "general manager" of streaming and migration products, including leading the pricing, packaging, and product-line segmentation. Your work will make developers and operators at the world's largest enterprises feel confident in moving to CockroachDB and putting it front and center for customer applications while driving revenue to Cockroach Labs.
In the first 30-60 days, you will go through PM onboarding with your onboarding mentor (Roachmate). You will familiarize yourself with the current state of our migration and streaming capabilities and how they address customers journey and process. You will create Cloud clusters, and try out the core features, to get a sense of the end-to-end experience for yourself. You’ll review our current backlog, get up to speed on in-flight features, and understand today's most pressing customer problems.
After 90 days, you will be fully integrated into the team. You will conduct customer calls and work with our internal account teams to understand core customer problems. There are countless opportunities for us to invest in. You will prioritize the ones that exceed our customers’ expectations and allow them to seamlessly integrate CockroachDB into their application ecosystem. As the owner of an integral part of our customer and product growth, you will be an important advisor to senior members of our team as we determine how streaming and migrations can support and accelerate our growth. You will also be expected to partner with our Sales team and meet with our most important customers and their operating teams.
