Full job description
Who are we?
Equinix is the world’s digital infrastructure company®, shortening the path to connectivity to enable the innovations that enrich our work, life and planet.
A place where bold ideas are welcomed, human connection is valued, and everyone has the opportunity to shape their future.
Help us challenge assumptions, uncover bias, and remove barriers—because progress starts with fresh ideas. You’ll find belonging, purpose, and a team that welcomes you—because when you feel valued, you’re empowered to do your best work.
Role Overview
We are looking for a highly technical, impact-driven Product Manager to own and drive the evolution of our next-generationOperational Data Store and Distributed Order Fulfillment Platform.
In this role, you will lead the strategy and execution for a high-throughput, low-latency data platform that ingests, models, and exposes critical business entities via a robust API layer. You will bridge the gap between heavy cloud infrastructure (distributed relational and graph databases) and multi-system business orchestration, ensuring that data is securely accessible, highly performant, and perfectly aligned with the needs of engineering teams across the organization.
This is a platform product role.Theremay beno user interface (UI). Your products are APIs, pipelines, and orchestration engines; your customers are fellow engineers, architects, and downstream technical teams.
Data Pipeline & ODS Evolution:Define the roadmap for scalable, real-time, and batch data pipelines that feed a globally distributed Operational Data Store (ODS).
Architecture Collaboration:Partner with data engineers and architects toleveragecloud-native big data tech (e.g., Google Cloud Spanner) for relational transactional data and Graph Databases for complex entity relationship mapping.
Enterprise Authorization & Identity:Own the security posture of the data platform by designing and implementingthe rightIdentity & Access Management (IAM)principlesand fine-grained authorization policies at the API layer.
2. End-to-End Execution & Order Orchestration
Distributed Orchestration:Drive the design and capability of engines that orchestrate stateful order fulfillment workflows smoothly across highly decoupled internal and external systems.
API Contract Ownership:Propose, define, and enforce robust API contracts (REST,gRPC, orGraphQL). You will ensure that both your engineering team and consuming teams strictly adhere to these interfaces to prevent breaking changes.
Technical Validation:Activelyparticipatein technical verification. You must be comfortable going beyond documentation—using tools like Postman,cURL, or writing basic scripts to hit APIs,validateresponse payloads, and test edge-case failure scenarios.
3. Stakeholder Management &Roadmapping
Cross-Functional Discovery:Act as a consultative partnertoengineering leaders, product teams, and business units across the organization. Conduct deep-dive discovery to understand their technical pain points and system use cases.
MeaningfulRoadmapping:Translate messy, fragmented cross-team operational requirements into a clean, prioritized, and logically sequenced platform product backlog that balances long-term architectural health with immediate business value.
Required Technical Experience & Qualifications
Experience: 8+ years of Product Management experience, specifically managing deep technical infrastructure, backend platform services, or data engineering products.
Database Proficiency:Proven experience working with massive-scale distributed databases (e.g., Google Cloud Spanner,CockroachDB) and a strong conceptual grasp of Graph Databases (e.g., Neo4j, AWS Neptune) for relationship mapping.
API Mastery:Deep understanding of API design principles, lifecycle management, and contract testing. Proven capability to draft API specifications andvalidatesystem behavior via API endpoints directly (no UI reliance).
Security & Compliance Foundations:Solid architectural understanding of enterprise security protocols, including IAM, OAuth, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).
Distributed Systems Knowledge:Familiarity with modern event-driven architectures, message brokers (e.g., Kafka, Pub/Sub), and workflow orchestration engines (e.g., Temporal, Camunda, Airflow).
Leadership & Soft Skills
Elite Communication:Ability to articulate complex architectural tradeoffs to business stakeholders while simultaneously arguing technical nuances with principal engineers.
Empathy-Driven Discovery:Exceptional capability to ask the right questions, uncover root-cause pain points from messy user feedback, and say "no" constructively to feature requests that do not align with platform scalability.
Systems Thinking:A natural tendency to see how individual components intersect to form a massive, complex enterprise ecosystem.
What Will Success Look Like in the First 6 Months?
30 Days:Map out the current topology of the ODS,ingestionspipelines, and orchestration touchpoints. Build relationships with the top 3 consuming engineering teams to understand their immediate friction points.
90 Days:Establisha rigorous API contract governance process within the team. Deliver a refined 2-quarter roadmap addressing critical gaps in IAM/Authorization and order fulfillment bottlenecks.
180 Days:Successfully launch a new high-throughput data pipeline or orchestration flow that measurably reduces multi-system order fulfillment latency while adhering to zero-trust authorization principles.
