Full Job Description
Box is building the eventing backbone that powers our products and enables customers to integrate, automate, and scale on our platform. We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead improvements in system efficiency, evolve our internal eventing and signaling capabilities, and help expose the right features externally. Your work will support the multitude of new products being built on the Box platform like extract and workflow, while impacting the bottom line by reducing costs and redundancy across the entire product infrastructure. You'll partner closely with engineering teams in Redwood City and Poland and with our architecture group to define the roadmap, shape implementation, and deliver measurable platform outcomes.

WHAT YOU'LL DO • Own the roadmap for events, signaling, and asynchronous processing capabilities across internal and external use cases. • Lead product discovery with internal consumer teams; translate requirements into clear specs, backlogs, and success metrics. • Drive efficiency initiatives that reduce redundant data transfer and optimize compute usage with measurable impact. • Partner with architects and engineering to make sound implementation decisions and deliver high-quality releases. • Establish instrumentation, baselines, and reporting for platform performance, adoption, and reliability. • Enable responsible externalization of eventing capabilities, including developer-facing documentation and guardrails. • Coordinate cross-site execution (Redwood City, Poland), remove blockers, and keep stakeholders aligned on progress and trade-offs. • Communicate vision and outcomes clearly to leadership and partner teams.
