About Us

Virtuozzo is a leader in infrastructure system software for AI. We offer an optimised operating system, orchestration, and management to service providers, SaaS companies, and the enterprise. Virtuozzo provides mainframe-like performance, reliability, and security while dramatically lowering overall cost and complexity. We combine deep engineering expertise with a relentless focus on performance, scalability, and innovation.

Role Scope

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead strategic product direction for our core platform offerings. This is a high-impact role designed for a product leader with deep technical knowledge of cloud systems, virtualisation, and storage. You’ll work closely with engineering, customers, and partners to define the roadmap, drive innovation, and guide product execution across Virtuozzo’s ecosystem.

This role is focused on the core infrastructure layer behind Virtuozzo Infrastructure and Virtuozzo Storage, and this is where compute, virtualisation, networking, and software-defined storage come together. The product scope includes the performance, resilience, scalability, and efficiency of block, file, and S3-compatible object storage, as well as its integration with virtualised and cloud-native workloads across hyperconverged and standalone deployments. We build infrastructure that supports real workloads and not simply as a wrapper for public clouds, but as a true alternative. Do you want to be a part of it?

• Collaborate with hardware vendors (CPU, GPU, storage, networking) to deliver integrated, performance-optimised solutions
• Align roadmap and delivery across virtualisation, cloud management platforms, and infrastructure tooling for CSPs, MSPs, and enterprise providers
• Coordinate cross-product initiatives and ensure smooth integration with internal and third-party tools
• Identify emerging technology trends and guide long-term investments in innovation
• Support definition and enforcement of product quality KPIs, customer use cases, and performance benchmarks

What You Bring

• Deep technical expertise in one or more of the following:
  • Virtualisation: containers, hypervisors, orchestration, GPU virtualisation
  • Storage: block, file, object; erasure coding, tiering, caching, replication
  • Networking and security within distributed systems

• Ability to align engineers, architects, and kernel developers around shared product goals
• Experience leading technical design discussions and architecture reviews and participating in RFC processes
• Strong cross-functional leadership across QA, DevOps, SRE, benchmarking, and compliance
• Familiarity with regulatory compliance and security standards (FIPS, GDPR, PCI-DSS)
• Proven ability to analyse performance benchmarks, define KPIs, and make product decisions grounded in data
• Experience collaborating on patentable technologies or filing IP in infrastructure domains
• Excellent communication skills and ability to drive alignment between product, engineering, and field teams
• 5+ years of experience in technical product management OR 5+ years of hands-on experience in OS/storage/networking development or system-level Linux administration

What We Offer
