This is a fully remote, senior individual contributor role with high strategic visibility.
What You’ll Do

Translate the CPTO's strategic vision into a concrete, scalable Data Product roadmap. You'll pair strong product instincts with data-informed decision making to deliver results.

Participate in the product lifecycle from discovery through launch, iteration, and adoption, including setting success metrics, prioritizing features, and ensuring high-quality execution.

Lead the full lifecycle of Data Products development, ensuring they are discoverable, trustworthy, and valuable within Actian's Data Intelligence Platform.
•
Oversee the development of AI agents that control data products, enabling conversational and proactive interactions for end-users.

•
Ability to debate strategic inputs and then dive into the concrete inputs for engineering at ground level.
•
Skilled at translating customer and stakeholder needs into innovative product features.
•
Track record of shipping enterprise-grade SaaS features from ideation through scale.
