Lenovo is looking to evolve its private cloud platform, built on OpenStack, to enable scalable, secure, and automated IaaS infrastructure for enterprise use, while also supporting emerging AI and hybrid workload demands.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager in cloud infrastructure or private cloud platforms.
- In-depth understanding of OpenStack architecture and core services (Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, Keystone, etc.).
- Familiarity with virtualized networking (SDN, VLAN/VXLAN), storage backends, and infrastructure security controls.
- Experience working with infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) and self-service catalog systems.
- Ability to translate enterprise IT operations requirements into technical features and delivery priorities.
- Proficiency with collaboration and planning tools such as Figma, Jira, Confluence, etc.
- Strongly preferred: hands-on experience operating, delivering, or designing private cloud platforms in large enterprise or government environments, especially with strict security/compliance requirements.
Responsibilities
- Define and drive the product roadmap for the OpenStack-based private cloud platform, ensuring enterprise readiness, high availability, and extensibility.
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: Compute, Storage, and Networking Orchestration – manage VM lifecycle, block/object storage, SDN, and network policies.
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: AI Compute Enablement – GPU/NPU-aware scheduling, quota management, elastic provisioning, and integration with model inference engines.
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: Multi-Tenant Architecture – logical isolation, resource quota, billing/showback support, and secure self-service portal.
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: Security and Compliance – identity federation, policy enforcement, and audit mechanisms (e.g., Keystone, Barbican, Neutron security groups).
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: Hybrid Cloud Integration – enable interoperability with public cloud and container platforms (e.g., OpenShift, Kubernetes).
- Lead feature planning and prioritization across core domains: Self-Service & Automation – blueprint templates, approval workflows, and integration with external automation engines (e.g., Ansible, Terraform).
Other
- Technically grounded and customer-focused Product Owner.
- Collaborate with architects, engineers, DevOps, and support teams to ensure timely and robust product delivery.
- Work closely with enterprise customers and field teams to gather feedback, validate product features, and continuously refine user experience.
- Analyze market trends, ecosystem evolution (e.g., OpenInfra Foundation projects), and competitive offerings to maintain differentiation.
- Excellent cross-functional communication skills; able to work with global engineering, field, and executive stakeholders.
