Get hands-on with cutting-edge technologies—from application modernization to AI/ML workloads—and see firsthand how work influences product direction and customer adoption. This role offers a front-row seat to the evolution and adoption of Kubernetes, the chance to build a personal brand in the CNCF ecosystem, and the opportunity to make a visible impact across technical and business audiences. Most of all, become part of a collaborative, supportive team of genuinely nice people who are passionate about what they do.

• Technical Expertise: Develop into a recognized expert on Portworx products, industry use cases, buyer personas, and the competitive landscape. Translate complex technical concepts into clear, relatable stories for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Voice of the Customer: Act as the voice of the customer. Gather and synthesize insights about user needs, challenges, and aspirations to inform the product roadmap and support engineering and product teams.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with product management, technical marketing, alliances, demand generation, field marketing, and sales teams to ensure messaging consistency and effective go-to-market strategies.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO BRING TO THIS ROLE...

• Experience in technical marketing, product marketing, solution marketing, or product management in the Kubernetes ecosystem. 
• Recognized as an engaging speaker and strong writer who can translate technical messaging into compelling narratives. We’d love to see samples of your work.
• Understanding of platform engineering, developer experience best practices, and modern cloud-native technologies (e.g., Kubernetes, open-source data services, data protection, virtualization).
• In-depth knowledge of key audiences: Platform Engineers, DevOps, Cloud Architects, SREs, IT infrastructure managers, and IT Decision Makers.
• Stay current with Kubernetes, container storage, AI and cloud-native trends to keep Portworx content and demos relevant.
• Strong ability to collaborate cross-functionally and work with both internal teams and external audiences.
• Growth mindset: Eager to challenge the status quo, deliver best-in-class work, and continuously learn.
