About the role
As the Product Manager for Performance Testing , you'll own the Grafana Cloud experience for performance testing, built around our k6 open-source project. You'll define how customers write, run, and act on performance tests across the software delivery lifecycle - ensuring Grafana Cloud k6 becomes the default choice for teams replacing legacy tools and adopting shift-left testing. The portfolio spans two surfaces: Grafana Cloud k6 (our commercial cloud product offering execution at scale from 21 global locations) and k6 OSS (the open-source CLI that anchors developer trust and community adoption). As the PM, you'll define how test results integrate with Grafana Cloud's metrics, logs, and traces - turning a failed load test into a specific offending trace in seconds. You'll also evolve performance testing across modalities such as protocol, browser, and mobile". The focus is on delivering an integrated, opinionated cloud experience that customers want to pay for and stay with. You'll also work across R&D to ensure Performance Testing is tightly woven into the broader Grafana Cloud suite - connecting with platforms like the Knowledge Graph and our core Cloud products, like Application Observability and Kubernetes Monitoring - so customers can seamlessly navigate between pre-production validation and production monitoring.
