Position

Brand new, dedicated team. Greenfield project. Developing what will become our second core product - a Container platform built on top of a global infrastructure provider.

You, a seasoned Product Owner with experience in DevOps, will be the driving force behind that setup. We are planning to work with Kubernetes, but we are looking for someone that will be responsible for implementing the best possible solutions and who understands how customers use the product, develop applications, and ship them to the cloud.

You'll be part of an agile setup that is more about agility than "Agile with a capital A". Apart from that, we like taking our time to develop new products and we are proud of doing things our own way instead of following the crowd.

We think you'll enjoy this role if you have a great sense of ownership - the possibilities of seeing the results of your work are quite dramatic, for the good and for the bad. It'll be your job to turn ideas into working products that customers will love.

We believe you'll achieve better results if you're based within a commutable distance to Helsinki, so we'll prioritise local candidates. We might consider candidates located in the EU to work on a remote basis as well. If you have the right to work in Finland and you want to relocate to Helsinki, you are welcome to apply too. (We're slowly going back to our brand new office in Aleksanterinkatu, in the heart of Helsinki. However, UpCloud intends to remain a remote-friendly company, meaning that you'll have the possibility to work fully remotely with occasional visits to the office).

Other reasons why you would like to join UpCloud:

• You'll find an easy-going environment that promotes work-life balance and self-development
• You'll be encouraged to experiment, fail, learn, succeed amazingly, be brave to propose new things, agree and disagree. That’s how you like to work
• While the highest possible level of comfort and growth never co-exist, you'll see the results and impact of your work on a daily basis

Your qualification

• Solid experience in product management
• Experience working in DevOps environments
• Experience working with and leading agile teams

What we offer

• Computer of your choice
• Personal budget for home office equipment and training 
• Yearly company party in different locations to meet all our colleagues based on other countries. (Currently on hold due to the impossibility to travel, but we'll be back to it as soon as it is safe for everyone to fly again)
• Private healthcare
• Company lunch card
