At Kestra, we’re on a mission to make orchestration and automation simpler for everyone. Our open-source platform helps teams manage complex workflows with confidence, and we’re already making a big impact in businesses around the world.
Now, we’re looking for a pragmatic Product Manager who can drive features from customer problem to delivery with minimal process. This is not a “project manager” or “product owner” role — we care about shipping real value fast, not about maintaining SCRUM rituals.
What You’ll Do
Own the full product lifecycle: understand user problems, define technical specs, prototype (AI tools encouraged), and work closely with developers to ship high-quality releases.
Collaborate with the Product Lead and CTO to shape and scope features for each 8-week release cycle.
Coordinate development progress and ensure features are delivered, QAed, documented, and ready to go.
Contribute to continuous product improvement based on customer feedback and usage data.
What We’re Looking For
Hands-on, startup-minded PM comfortable working without heavy process or structure.
Strong technical understanding — ideally with exposure to infrastructure automation or orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, VMware, Server Administration, CI/CD, Bash Scripts, or similar).
Excellent communication and clarity in writing specs and explaining product decisions.
Someone who takes full ownership of features and is comfortable iterating quickly based on feedback.
Experience or familiarity with open-source development — comfortable writing publicly, managing user feedback, and discussing product changes in open-source GitHub repositories.
Bonus Points If You Have
Contributed for software editor company selling directly to customer.
Experience with Shape up methodology.
Prior experience with Github for project management.
Contributed to an open-source project.
