Role  

At ServiceNow we own the complete stack that our applications run on. We are looking for a product manager to own and deliver products like those you would see in Amazon’s AWS suite of products or those in Google Cloud Platform for ServiceNow’s Data Platform. The Data Platform supports relational, legacy OLTP and OLAP databases that are moving to newer HTAP databases, with our recent acquisition of Swarm64. In addition, we also support several non-relational databases for search, time series, and data streaming. As we scale, we are moving to container-based provisioning and deployment models using Kubernetes.  

Within the Data Platform product area, you will be leading the non-relational database areas as we look to enter new application domains and scale to support larger customers across the platform. As such we aim to provide a world class data platform with a deep focus on scalability, reliability, and observability to operate and grow alongside the needs of our BUs and customers. This role is highly collaborative, working with peer inbound and outbound product managers across BUs,  customers, and experienced engineers that build highly available systems and services across the entire stack.

Customer Insights

• Understand how customers are using the product, gains & pains, reasons for low usage 

• Know top 3-5 customers intimately, their specific use cases, gains & pains 

• Understand use cases by BU to better serve internal customers 

In order to be successful in this role, we need someone who has:
