Product Management Director, Heroku Data
Heroku's mission is to create the fastest path for application developers to turn an idea into a production app of any scale. We want to remove every obstacle that slows down creative coders and let them focus on their customers' experience while leaving everything else to our service. Today, Heroku powers millions of apps ranging from personal hobby apps to Internet top 100 apps. In aggregate we serve billions of requests per day. Yet, it only takes minutes for a new developer to get the first app up and running, ready to serve customers. A critical element of our future growth is our ability to deliver integrated data and runtime, a curated set of data services optimized for developer use cases, and the experience of managing apps and services at scale.
We are looking for an experienced product manager who wants to join our team and help draw the optimal connection between these great technology and market opportunities.
