Key Responsibilities

Technical Product Manager – Platform Engineering (Data Platform Focus)

Location : Pune, India | Type : Full Time

As a Technical Product Manager (TPM) in the Platform Engineering team, you will be

responsible for defining, delivering, and scaling the internal data platform capabilities that

power our product and analytics infrastructure. This includes ownership of core platform

capabilities around data ingestion pipelines, scalable storage systems, archival and retention

workflows, lifecycle policies, and export mechanisms. You will work closely with engineering,

infrastructure, compliance, and consuming product teams to ensure that the platform is

robust, scalable, cost-effective, and aligned with business needs.

Tangible Deliverables

As a TPM in the platform engineering team, your work results in measurable, reusable,

and scalable assets that accelerate internal development velocity and reduce

operational complexity. Key deliverables include :

1. Platform Roadmap and Backlog

a. A continuously evolving 6–12 month roadmap aligned with business priorities,

internal stakeholder needs, and engineering capacity.

b. A well-groomed, prioritized backlog with clear technical specs, acceptance criteria,

and linked epics / stories.

2. Product Requirements Documents (PRDs)

a. Comprehensive specs for ingestion pipelines, storage tiering, archival policies, and

data export services.

b. Detailed edge-case handling, integration considerations, and non-functional

requirements (latency, volume, compliance).

3. Cost Optimization Playbooks

a. Actionable plans and dashboards co-developed with FinOps to monitor storage and

pipeline usage, identify inefficiencies, and initiate cleanup / archive workflows.

4. Service SLAs & Internal Integration Guides

a. SLA definitions for ingestion throughput, data availability, retention windows, and

export latency.

b. Onboarding documentation and how-to guides for integrating with the platform

(e.g., publishing to ingestion topics, triggering data exports).

5. Cross-Team Alignment Artifacts

a. Quarterly planning inputs, dependency matrices, rollout plans, and status trackers

shared with infra, security, and product leads.

Contribution to Delivery Management

The TPM plays a key orchestration role in enabling disciplined, transparent, and

dependable delivery of platform capabilities :

1. Sprint & Release Planning

a. Breaks down platform epics into iterative deliverables with engineering leads.

b. Sets sprint goals aligned with roadmap milestones and available team capacity.

2. Cross-Team Coordination

a. Manages timelines and dependencies across infra, SRE, data engineering, and

product teams.

b. Facilitates decision-making on technical trade-offs and scope containment.

3. Risk & Blocker Management

a. Identifies architectural or resource-related blockers early.

b. Leads mitigation planning and escalation to leadership where needed.

4. Milestone Ownership

a. Tracks progress across feature phases (design, development, testing, rollout).

b. Owns delivery of pilot rollouts, adoption enablement, and full-scale launches.

5. Quality & Go-Live Readiness

a. Partners with QA and SRE to define success criteria for new capabilities.

b. Ensures operational readiness with documentation, monitoring, and rollback

strategies in place.

6. Metrics-Driven Progress Tracking

a. Defines delivery KPIs (e.g., lead time, backlog burn-down, adoption rate, SLA

adherence).

b. Builds and maintains reporting dashboards for leadership reviews
