Senior Product Manager - Network Path

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As the Senior Product Manager for Network Path, you’ll own the vision, roadmap, and execution for how our customers visualize, monitor, and troubleshoot network traffic across complex hybrid and cloud environments. You’ll work closely with a diverse set of Network, DevOps, and SRE teams to understand how they manage their infrastructure, what challenges they face regarding network visibility and routing, and how our product can help them better observe, isolate, and remediate latency, packet loss, and connectivity issues across the public internet, cloud providers, and private data centers.
