Staff Product Manager (Agent & Systems Observability)

Role Overview

Join Render as a Staff Product Manager to own the vision and roadmap for observability—including system telemetry and agent observability in the context of AI-driven software development.

Responsibilities

• Own the observability vision and product roadmap for Render, integrating system telemetry, OpenTelemetry instrumentation, and agent observability.
• Partner with engineering and other product teams to shape the technical direction of Render’s telemetry pipeline, including architectural tradeoffs.
• Develop deep understanding of how Render’s customers debug, monitor, and manage costs, building conviction about the future of observability.
• Engage with customers and product/engineering teams to translate needs into strategy and shipped outcomes.

Requirements

• 7+ years in Product Management with substantive experience in observability/monitoring, developer tools, or infrastructure products.
• Strong developer empathy and the technical depth to make sound architectural decisions with engineering.
• Familiarity with AI workload economics (e.g., token pricing, model selection tradeoffs, budgeting and attribution of LLM spend).
• Working fluency with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem (signals, semantic conventions, collectors, and tradeoffs for instrumenting production systems).
• Strong communication and storytelling skills.
• Track record of turning ambiguous, cross-cutting problems into clear strategy and delivery.
• Experience as an SRE, observability engineer, or infrastructure engineer.

Nice to Haves

• Contributions to OpenTelemetry or adjacent open-source telemetry projects.
• Hands-on experience building AI agents and/or instrumenting and evaluating them in production.
• Experience with an LLM gateway/proxy/metering product.
• Experience tracking emerging conventions for GenAI and agent observability.
