In this high-impact technical product role, you will take dedicated product ownership of the Enterprise Observability platform portfolio while driving a critical cross-functional initiative for an AI token consumption chargeback application. You will combine platform vision, governance operations, cost management, and executive communications to improve policy consistency, license management, usage compliance, and audit readiness across the organization. Operating across engineering, security, architecture, and finance stakeholders, you will establish product roadmaps for enterprise-wide telemetry platforms (Datadog, Splunk, Edge Delta), scale responsible AI-assisted developer tooling adoption, and manage strategic vendor relationships.
