Product Manager (PM) – Data & AI Infrastructure FinOps

We are seeking a highly strategic and execution-driven Product Manager (PM) to build and scale our Data & AI Infrastructure FinOps platform. This role will define and deliver next-generation cost visibility, workload optimization, and autonomous performance tuning experiences across Snowflake and Databricks ecosystems.

You will own the product strategy to unlock a $100B untapped opportunity at the intersection of Cloud Cost Optimization, FinOps, and AI-driven data infrastructure performance management.

What You’ll Own

1. Snowflake & Databricks FinOps Platform (Built From Scratch)

• Define and launch a comprehensive FinOps experience across:

• Snowflake

• Databricks

• Develop granular cost attribution models (warehouse, cluster, workload, team, query-level).

• Build unit economics frameworks (cost per dashboard, cost per ML job, cost per pipeline).

• Deliver budgeting, forecasting, anomaly detection, and cost governance workflows.

• Create persona-based experiences (Data Engineering, BI, ML, Finance, Platform).

2. Visibility & Optimization Experience

• Build best-in-class performance optimization:

• Cluster/warehouse efficiency scoring

• Idle/over-provisioning detection

• Develop optimization recommendation engines:

• Auto-sizing warehouses & clusters

• Caching & materialization guidance

• Storage & compute tuning insights

• Establish measurable performance benchmarks to match/exceed competitors.

3. SQL & Spark Workload Visibility & Tuning

• Create deep workload intelligence for:

• SQL workloads

• Spark workloads (ETL pipelines, streaming, ML training)

• Deliver developer-friendly tuning guidance

4. Autonomous Optimization Agents

• Define and ship AI-driven optimization agents capable of:

• Continuous monitoring

• Proactive cost/performance tuning

• Automated remediation actions

• Design closed-loop optimization systems

• Define guardrails, explainability layers, and trust frameworks for autonomous actions.

• Introduce simulation environments to preview cost & latency impact before changes.

Key Responsibilities

• Own product vision, strategy, and roadmap execution.

• Partner with Engineering, and GTM to deliver category-defining capabilities.

• Define clear success metrics (Cost Savings %, Performance Gains %, Adoption, Autonomous Actions).

• Conduct competitive benchmarking and differentiation strategy.

• Translate deep technical complexity into clear customer value narratives.

• Drive customer discovery with Data Engineers, FinOps leaders, Platform teams, and CIOs.

What We’re Looking For

Experience

• 6+ years in Product Management.

• Strong experience/interest in:

• Snowflake and/or Databricks ecosystems.

• Cloud cost optimization or FinOps platforms.

• Experience building 0→1 enterprise products.

• Familiarity with AI/ML-driven automation systems.

Technical Depth

• Strong understanding of:

• Data & AI tooling

• Cloud pricing models (compute, storage, I/O)

• Ability to work deeply with engineering on system-level tradeoffs.

Strategic Capability

• Ability to define and execute against large TAM opportunities.

• Experience creating new product categories or reshaping existing ones.

• Strong written & verbal executive communication skills.

Why This Role Matters

Data & AI infrastructure is becoming the fastest-growing line item in enterprise cloud spend. Yet FinOps tooling for data warehouses, lakehouses, and AI workloads remains immature. This role will define the next-generation optimization layer that sits between cloud providers and enterprise data teams — transforming reactive cost reporting into autonomous infrastructure intelligence.
