Overview
The Terraform Provider Ecosystem is the backbone of Infrastructure as Code, enabling users to manage resources across hundreds of services. At the core of this ecosystem are the major cloud providers: AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. These providers are the bridge between Terraform's declarative language and the vast, ever-evolving services offered by the world's leading clouds.
We are seeking a strategic and collaborative Product Manager to own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for our foundational AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Providers.
