About the role

ABOUT APTIBLE Large language models are transforming software engineering — developers can now go from idea to code faster than ever. But that speed cuts both ways: AI makes attackers more capable, zero-days weaponize faster, and AI-assisted "vibe coding" is shipping more code with less security review. Deployment, observability, cost, security, reliability — all of that has to scale too, and LLMs don't yet solve the problem. That's where Aptible comes in. Since 2014, our cloud delivery platform has been automating security, compliance and reliability for engineering teams whose apps handle the most sensitive data, in the most highly regulated industries. The future of Aptible is to be the safe place to run both traditional and AI-native applications: isolated from lateral movement, defended against known and emerging vulnerabilities, and instrumented so that if something does go wrong, the blast radius is contained and the forensics are already in place. The need for a platform like Aptible has never been greater. If you're passionate about cloud infrastructure and ensuring DevOps evolves to meet the pressure of AI-assisted development — and you're excited to join a small and highly talented team — we’d love to hear from you. NEW! Aptible is part of Opti9 Technologies, a cloud solutions provider specializing in managed cloud, security, disaster recovery, and compliance. Joining forces with Opti9 gives Aptible the resources to invest more aggressively in the platform — expanding what we can deliver to the engineering teams who depend on it. OUR COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION We see great value in bringing together a team with different perspectives, educational backgrounds, and life experiences, and we prioritize diversity within our team. We encourage people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply. ----- ABOUT THIS ROLE We’re looking for a dynamic Product Manager who can set the strategy, roadmap, and feature definition that expands our positioning as the secure PaaS for the AI-native era, for both traditional and generative/agentic applications. In this role, you will partner closely with our engineering team, product designer, and marketing team to: 1. Build something our target customers want (create value), and 2. Build something that helps us strategically grow the business (capture value) This PM is responsible for Acquisition (measured by new customers), and will work alongside the PM for Retention (measured by NDR). WHAT YOU’LL DO There are two types of outcomes this role will be accountable for: 1. (Quantitative) Business outcomes/Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) - Product signups and new product-led customer conversions - Count of customers using features delivered against the Acquisition roadmap, across LLM Gateway and PaaS - New ARR ($) from features delivered against the Acquisition roadmap 2. (Qualitative) Role-based outcomes in these criteria: Discovery: figuring out the right product to build - Define the discovery process and align stakeholders around it. Communicate learnings with the broader team - Collaborate with engineering and design to identify and validate product risk: - You will: - De-risk Value (will users use or buy it?) - and De-risk Business Viability (does the solution work for our business?) - Engineering: De-risk Feasibility (can we build it?) - Design: De-risk Usability (can users figure out how to use it?) - Define a clear roadmap of features (or product “bets”) Delivery: Helping the team get the product built and in the hands of customers - Define product requirements for features based on the outcome of discovery - Empower engineering and design to build the product, unblocking implementation as needed in a timely manner - Empower Marketing and CS to put our product in front of u
