Full Job Description
BlueCat is looking for a strategic, execution-driven Principal Product Manager to lead innovation within Integrity, our flagship enterprise DDI platform (DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management).

Integrity is the authoritative control plane for network infrastructure-providing a single source of truth for IP space, while enabling automation, observability, and control across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments. Built on a modern, API-first architecture, Integrity is evolving into a unified platform that integrates DDI, analytics, network discovery, cloud visibility, and event-driven automation.

This role is central to driving that evolution.

As a Principal Product Manager, you will own strategy and delivery for key areas of the Integrity platform-defining roadmap, shaping capabilities, and working cross-functionally to deliver solutions that address the real operational challenges of managing critical network infrastructure at scale.

What You'll Be Responsible For
  • Define and drive product strategy for core and adjacent capabilities within the Integrity platform (e.g., DNS/DHCP services, IPAM, analytics, discovery, automation)
  • Develop a clear product vision aligned to BlueCat's platform strategy, including API-first design, embedded analytics, and integrated workflows
  • Engage directly with enterprise customers and partners to understand real-world DDI operational challenges, including scale, resiliency, automation, and visibility
  • Translate customer and market needs into well-defined product requirements, use cases, and value propositions
  • Partner closely with engineering to prioritise and deliver high-quality, scalable features, balancing innovation with reliability in mission-critical infrastructure
  • Own and drive end-to-end feature lifecycle:Problem definition and opportunity sizing
  • Story mapping and backlog prioritisation
  • Writing detailed requirements with clear acceptance criteria
  • Supporting development through implementation and delivery
  • Ensure technical accuracy and depth across features, APIs, and user workflows
  • Contribute to the evolution of Integrity as a unified platform, integrating capabilities such as:
  1. Network & Cloud Discovery
  2. DDI Analytics & Observability
  3. Event-driven automation (Event Bus)

Work cross-functionally with Sales, Support, and Marketing to:
  • Enable pre-sales and go-to-market readiness
  • Communicate product capabilities and value clearly
  • Support strategic deals and customer engagements
  • Represent Integrity in internal planning, roadmap discussions, and executive reviews

What We're Looking For
  • Proven experience (5+ years) in Product Management, ideally within enterprise infrastructure, networking, or platform software
  • Strong understanding of DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) concepts and their role in modern network architecture
  • Experience building or managing API-first or platform-based products
  • Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels-from defining vision to driving delivery
  • Strong technical fluency, with the ability to engage deeply with engineering teams and understand system design trade-offs
  • Experience working with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and hybrid infrastructure models is highly desirable
  • Familiarity with observability, telemetry (e.g., Prometheus), or event-driven architectures is a plus
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Customer-centric mindset, with experience in customer-facing roles or direct engagement with enterprise users

Why This Role Matters

Integrity underpins critical network services that businesses cannot operate without. DNS and DHCP failures are not inconveniences-they are outages.

This role is about building a platform that delivers:

Deterministic, reliable infrastructure control
Deep operational visibility and foresight
Seamless automation across hybrid environments

You will play a key role in shaping the future of BlueCat's platform as it evolves from a DDI solution into a comprehensive network infrastructure intelligence and control plane.
