Role Summary

Splunk is looking for a committed Senior Product Manager to build and scale SPL2, the next generation of Splunk’s Search Processing Language (SPL). This Product Manager will own SPL2’s development and strategy for Splunk’s streaming analytics products.
 
You will work hand-in-hand with cross-functional execution teams to prioritize high-value use cases and drive adoption.

  • Collaborate with engineers and architects to brainstorm solutions and define clear success criteria
  • Partner with engineering teams across Splunk to deliver capabilities based on a common technical strategy
  • Develop technical go-to-market collateral and communicate language strategy to field teams to enable product-led growth at scale
