Your mission

If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you to join our product team at Checkmk and make a real difference!

As our new technical product manager (m/f/d), your mission will be to extend the monitoring capabilities of Checkmk.

Here's what your journey with us will look like:

• Enhance the monitoring of technologies from operating systems, networking, hardware, databases, virtualization, cloud services to applications
• Work closely with our users to include their domain know-how to ensure we build a monitoring that alerts before a failure occurs and provides helpful information out-of-the-box
• Collaborate with the development teams to ensure successful delivery of product features and releases
• Dive deep into Checkmk to handle 3rd level support tickets jointly with our developers, guiding them when product decisions are needed
• Serve as a subject-matter expert for the product, providing guidance and support to internal teams, including sales and marketing
• Remain up-to-date with industry advancements, emerging cloud technologies, and other IT infrastructure topics
