About us
We run user-friendly online services for consumers. We operate these services ourselves. We're not an outsourcing shop. We're profitable, growing, and actively hiring. We're a team of 150+ people worldwide, with our core team of 50 people in Hong Kong.
We're looking for a Product Manager for Infrastructure
We need a driven, highly organized individual with excellent communication skills to manage projects across our product, systems, sales, and technical support teams.
Responsibilities
- Ensure each team has clear product backlogs describing what actions they’ll take to achieve well-defined goals.
- Manage our relationships with about 100 different datacenters around the world.
For example:
- Purchase new equipment. Create the orders with the datacenters, track status, then pass the data into our configuration management system and ensure the machines are set up in a timely fashion.
- Ensure that we’re efficiently using prepaid bandwidth quotas. Analyse and distribute our traffic patterns to make best use of the resources available
- Research datacenters. Find alternatives for us to place hardware that will deliver better routes for customers. Use tools provided by our engineers to evaluate different options.
- Triage issues. When our monitoring and support systems notice problems, you make sure the team addresses them in priority order.
- Ticket tracking. Create clear, concise tickets for each issue that an engineer is working on, prioritize these and track them to ensure they are completed.
- Resolve network abuse complaints coming from the datacenters. - -- - Decide which ones require follow-up by the engineering team, prioritize and manage them to resolution.
Profile of an ideal candidate
Required skills:
- Strong English verbal and written communication skills. You’ll need to communicate quickly and clearly with engineers on our team, as well as sales and tech-support staff at various datacenters around the world. Once it’s clear what needs to be done, you can very quickly and clearly express that in writing.
- You’ll need a driven personality to do well in this role. Demand fast turnaround times from the datacenters, chase and push to get things done.
- You should have a keen ability to ask questions, and dig into an issue until you understand it.
- You must be comfortable handling competing priorities. For example, easily handle situations where you’re asked to do 10 things in a day but only have time for 3. (determine which ones you’re going to handle, and communicate to the stakeholders)
- Excellent follow-through. You don’t “drop” issues. You either get something done in the agreed timeline, or communicate with stakeholders if you need to change the timeline.
Nice to have:
- Experience working with developers and sysadmins.
- Basic familiarity with Linux, or an interest in learning.
This position
- Attractive compensation
- Given the operational nature of this position, it might require some work on evenings or weekends to resolve high-priority outages. Probably once per month.
- Based in Hong Kong at our spacious office in Wanchai. Lots of light, open space, pull-up bars, powerful hardware, all in a convenient location.
- Full-time employment, 40 hours per week, flexible working hours
- Medical insurance
