Product Manager, Postgres (Remote - Worldwide)

Candidates can work from any country; the team is fully distributed and works asynchronously. A fast-growing, open-source-first developer platform company is hiring a product manager to own the Postgres database experience across its platform. The database sits underneath every project, so the PM's decisions affect developers from solo builders to large enterprises. The role blends product strategy with hands-on technical depth, working alongside Postgres engineering teams and other database product leads.

What you'll do

• Own the roadmap for Postgres versions, upgrades and end-of-life, making upgrades routine and low-risk for customers.
• Design how maintenance windows are scheduled and communicated so customers stay informed and in control.
• Define the path from slow-query detection to fix, including metrics, logs, performance advisors and observability.
• Decide which extensions to offer, how they are evaluated and supported, and how they keep working across versions.
• Set requirements for Postgres security, including roles, permissions, Row Level Security usability and CVE response.
• Define success metrics such as upgrade success rate and share of the fleet on supported versions, and track them after launch.

What you need

• 4+ years of product management experience on databases, developer tools or infrastructure, or equivalent depth as an engineer, DBA or technical founder.
• Strong working knowledge of Postgres (or another relational database), including reading EXPLAIN plans and understanding replication, WAL, roles and extensions.
• Experience shipping products where reliability and trust are central, and treating downtime and breaking changes as product problems.
• Clear written communication for specs, announcements and deprecation notices.
• Hands-on habit of testing queries, upgrades and extensions yourself, and comfort making decisions in writing in an async environment.
• Regular use of AI tools to speed up research, drafting and feedback synthesis.
