Technical Product Manager

• Kubernetes & Containers Location
• Spring, TX Visa
• Visa Independent Resources only Start
• ASAP This role has been designed as ''Onsite' with an expectation that you will primarily work from office.

About the Role We're looking for a hands-on Technical Product Manager to work directly with engineering on our Kubernetes and container platform (e.g., Morpheus HKS

• Kubernetes Service).

This role is more about being in the weeds — writing detailed specs, testing features, generate technical content, digging into customer/support issues, and helping engineering ship the right thing correctly. What You'll Do Write detailed product requirements and technical specs for Kubernetes/container features (cluster lifecycle, CSI/storage integration, CNI/networking, autoscaling, upgrades) that engineering can build directly against. Get hands-on with the product — deploy clusters, test new features, reproduce customer/support issues, and validate fixes before they ship. Work day-to-day with engineers in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and design reviews — not just handing off requirements, but actively problem-solving alongside them. Triage and prioritize incoming bugs, customer escalations, and feature requests based on technical severity and impact. Partner with QA/engineering to define test plans and acceptance criteria for new Kubernetes capabilities. Support field/sales engineering with technical answers, demos, and troubleshooting for Kubernetes-related customer questions. Track competitive Kubernetes distributions and ecosystem tools hands-on (installing, testing, comparing) to inform feature decisions with direct technical evidence, not just market reports. Contribute to release notes, technical documentation, and internal enablement content. Required Background Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. 5+ years of experience in product management or a hands-on technical role (engineering, DevOps, SRE) with meaningful direct Kubernetes/container experience. Comfortable in a terminal — able to stand up a cluster, read logs, and troubleshoot without relying entirely on engineering to explain what's happening. Technical Skills We're Looking For Kubernetes core: hands-on experience with control plane components, kubelet, RBAC, namespaces, cluster autoscaling, and upgrade/lifecycle workflows — enough to operate a cluster yourself, not just describe one. CSI (Container Storage Interface): practical experience with dynamic volume provisioning, snapshots, and StorageClass/storage policy configuration.

CNI/SDN networking:

working knowledge of pod networking, overlay networks, and troubleshooting connectivity issues.

Multi-cluster/multi-tenant environments:

hands-on exposure to namespace isolation and multi-tenancy configurations.

Infrastructure-as-Code:

ability to read/write basic Terraform or Ansible for provisioning and testing.

CNCF ecosystem tools:

direct experience installing/operating Prometheus, Grafana, Calico, or similar add-ons.

Scripting/basic coding:

comfortable with Python, Bash, or Go for testing, automation, or quick tooling. Hybrid virtualization awareness (nice to have): exposure to Kubernetes running on VMware, KVM-based hypervisors, or bare metal. Soft Skills Detail-oriented and comfortable getting into technical specifics rather than staying at the strategy level. Strong collaborator who earns credibility with engineers through technical competence, not just process management. Good written communicator for specs, bug reports, and technical documentation.
