At NetBox Labs, our mission is to make it easier to build and manage complex networks. As a product company, we do that by developing innovative software for network professionals delivered on-premises and in the cloud.
We are seeking a Staff Product Manager to own our Network Observability features and products, reporting to the Director of Product. You will take products from definition through GA and beyond, partnering closely with Engineering, Customer Success, and GTM to build a product operators rely on to understand how their network is behaving.
You like going deep on the protocols, the data, and the edge cases that only show up in production. You can prototype, hold your own with engineering, and act as the subject matter expert. You also know how to turn that depth into clear value for customers and the business.

Be a subject matter expert in network observability and how telemetry is collected, modelled, and used by operators to detect, troubleshoot, and resolve real problems in production networks.
