This role is central to our platform strategy and is a critical part of Fastly’s mission to make the internet faster, safer, and more resilient. You'll work closely with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to evolve our logs, metrics, and tracing capabilities into a unified, intuitive, and self-service product experience. If you're passionate about observability, data at scale, and simplifying powerful tooling for customers, we’d love to meet you.

What You'll Do:

• Develop pricing and packaging strategies that align product value with customer growth and platform engagement
• Analyze product usage data and customer feedback to inform ongoing investments and roadmap evolution
• Define success metrics and ensure we deliver measurable improvements in product experience, business growth, and customer satisfaction

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years of product management experience, ideally in developer tools, observability, or platform infrastructure
• Strong understanding of logs, metrics, traces, and how engineering teams use observability to debug, optimize, and monitor systems
• Demonstrated ability to take products from 0→1 as well as scale existing offerings in a fast-paced environment
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, design, marketing, and sales to ship impactful features
• Strong customer empathy, with a track record of translating user needs into product strategy
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including experience working with technical stakeholders

We’ll be super impressed if you have experience in any of these: 

• Familiarity with observability tools like Datadog, New Relic, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
• Experience with edge computing or CDN infrastructure
• Strong data analysis skills (e.g., SQL, Amplitude, Mixpanel)
• Building self-service workflows in SaaS platforms
