Why Box Needs You

Box is building the messaging and eventing backbone that powers our products and enables customers to integrate, automate, and scale on our platform. We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead improvements in system efficiency, evolve our internal eventing and signaling capabilities, and help expose the right features externally. Your work will support the multitude of new products being built on the Box platform like extract and workflow, while impacting the bottom line by reducing costs and redundancy across the entire product infrastructure.

You’ll partner closely with engineering teams in Redwood City and Poland and with our architecture group to define the roadmap, shape implementation, and deliver measurable platform outcomes. If you love diving into complex stacks, aligning diverse stakeholders, and shipping changes that move the performance needle, this role is for you.

What You’Ll Do

• Own the roadmap for messaging, signaling, and asynchronous processing capabilities across internal and external use cases.
• Lead product discovery with internal consumer teams; translate requirements into clear specs, backlogs, and success metrics.
• Drive efficiency initiatives that reduce redundant data transfer and optimize compute usage with measurable impact.
• Partner with architects and engineering to make sound implementation decisions and deliver high-quality releases.
• Establish instrumentation, baselines, and reporting for platform performance, adoption, and reliability.
• Enable responsible externalization of eventing capabilities, including developer-facing documentation and guardrails.
• Coordinate cross-site execution (Redwood City, Poland), remove blockers, and keep stakeholders aligned on progress and trade-offs.
• Communicate vision and outcomes clearly to leadership and partner teams.

Who You Are

• 5+ years in product management with experience on platform/infrastructure or large-scale distributed systems.
• Proven track record driving system efficiency (e.g., compute optimization, reducing data transfer, improving signaling) with quantified results.
• Comfortable engaging in technical discussions on messaging/event-driven architecture and asynchronous processing.
• Strong stakeholder management and “social presence”; able to influence across teams and geographies.
• Excellent written and verbal communication with crisp specs, prioritization, and metrics-driven decision-making.
• Bias toward implementation details and partnering deeply with engineering and architects.
• Experience working with globally distributed teams; able to manage time zones and handoffs.
• Nice to have: Background in consulting or enterprise platforms; familiarity with pub/sub systems, streaming pipelines, and any prior development experience.
