[Remote] Engineering Product Manager, Cloud Control Studio

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Cisco is hiring an Engineering Product Manager for Cloud Control Studio. The role leads product strategy, roadmap, and delivery for application and agent lifecycle capabilities, ensuring they operate reliably, securely, and consistently across production environments.

Responsibilities

• Lead the strategy, roadmap, and delivery for your area, from customer and administrator discovery through product definition, engineering delivery, production validation, and continued improvement
• Define how applications and agents behave consistently across packaging, deployment, versioning, automated upgrades, customer administration, identity and authorization, multi-tenant boundaries, persistent data, observability, and operations, and make those behaviors platform defaults rather than per-application decisions
• Steward the platform building blocks that applications are composed of, so that new capabilities and runtime resources can be added by other teams while preserving one coherent customer and administrator experience
• Translate broad, open problems into well-scoped releases with clear acceptance criteria, sequencing decisions, and measurable exit conditions, setting clear priorities on what ships now, what is simplified, and what comes next
• Validate delivered capabilities in real customer workflows and environments—not only in demonstrations—using prototypes, APIs, logs, and product instrumentation to test assumptions and drive open questions to resolution with evidence
• Bring engineering, design, security, identity, platform, operations, and go-to-market teams to clear product decisions, and communicate direction and trade-offs credibly to executives, customers, and technical partners

Skills

• Bachelor's degree plus 12 years of related experience, Master's degree plus 8 years of related experience, or PhD plus 5 years of related experience in product management, software engineering, or technical product leadership for software products
• Prior experience in software product management or equivalent product ownership, with direct responsibility for requirements, prioritization, and roadmap decisions for enterprise software
• Applied experience working on an enterprise application platform, developer platform, cloud platform, or multi-tenant SaaS product where third parties or customers deploy software onto your platform
• Experience leading at least one technically complex capability in application lifecycle management, packaging and deployment, versioning and upgrades, customer administration, runtime governance, or platform operations from definition through production launch and customer use
• Previous background leading cross-functional delivery with engineering, design, and at least one of security, identity, operations, or customer-facing teams
• 12 or more years of product management experience for enterprise software, PaaS, or cloud platform products
• Experience defining a platform or extension model (capabilities, resources, manifests, contracts) that multiple internal or external teams build against
• Experience leading the runtime and lifecycle side of an application platform: packaging, deployment, versioning, staging/promotion, retirement, administration, support, and operations of software built by others and shaping an early-stage platform into a mature, reliable production product
• Technical fluency across several of the following: APIs, OAuth and identity, authorization and RBAC, multi-tenant SaaS, cloud runtimes, application data and state, security, and observability
• Prior experience with generative AI, agent runtimes, tool integrations, and AI-assisted software development as well as coding or prototyping experience, including productive use of modern AI coding tools
• Experience operating secure, multi-tenant enterprise software at scale and with application ecosystems, ISV or partner programs, or marketplaces where third-party applications are published, certified and supported
• Ability to communicate complex product and technical decisions clearly and persuasively in written and verbal form
