Senior Product Marketing Manager | Database Optimization

<h4>Why Cast AI?</h4> <p>Cast AI is an automation platform that operates cloud-native and AI infrastructure at scale. By embedding autonomous decision-making directly into Kubernetes and cloud environments, Cast AI continuously optimizes performance, reliability, and efficiency in production.</p> <p>The old way doesn't work. As Kubernetes and AI environments grow, manual decisions don’t. Cast AI replaces tickets, alerts, and manual tuning with continuous automation that adapts infrastructure as conditions change. Efficiency and cost savings follow naturally from that automation.</p> <p>Over 2,100 companies already rely on Cast AI, including Akamai, BMW, Cisco, FICO, HuggingFace, NielsenIQ, Swisscom, and TGS.</p> <p><strong>Global team, diverse perspectives<br></strong>We're headquartered in Miami, but our impact is international. We take a global and intentional approach to diversity. Today, Cast AI operates across 34 countries spanning Europe, North America, Latin America, and APAC, bringing a wide range of perspectives into how we build and lead. </p> <p><strong>Unicorn momentum<br></strong>In January 2026, we achieved unicorn status with a strategic investment from Pacific Alliance Ventures, the corporate venture arm of Shinsegae Group (a $50+ billion Korean conglomerate). Our valuation now exceeds $1 billion, and we're just getting started.</p> <p><strong>Join us as we build the future of autonomous infrastructure.</strong></p> <h4>About the role</h4> <p>DBO is one of Cast AI's newest products. It continuously improves PostgreSQL and MySQL performance through automated tuning actions and AI-driven query optimization, reducing the manual work required to keep production databases fast and reliable.</p> <p>You'll own DBO's go-to-market motion end to end. The product already has paying customers and measurable performance results. What it doesn't have yet is a dedicated commercial narrative, a validated ICP, or a repeatable path from first conversation to closed deal. You will have direct access to early customers, Product, Engineering, and company leadership, with the mandate to turn market evidence into DBO's go-to-market playbook.</p> <p>This is a hands-on, research-heavy role, and a different kind of PMM job than owning a mature product line. You'll spend real time talking to early customers yourself, running tests on what messaging and channels actually work, and building ICP and positioning from scratch rather than refining something that already exists. We operate automation-first and market-obsessed, so you're expected to treat every test and every customer conversation as an input, not a formality.</p> <p>You'll report to the Director of Product Marketing and work closely with DBO's Product and Engineering leadership, with support from Content, Growth, Design, and Sales Enablement as this work scales.</p> <p> </p> <h4>What success looks like in 180 days</h4> <ul> <li>A validated ICP and buyer persona, tested against DBO's existing customer base and new prospects.</li> <li>Positioning and messaging tested and refined through real conversations, with a clear point of view on how DBO's story differs from point solutions already in the market.</li> <li>Early evidence of which channels and content actually convert, from structured tests rather than assumptions.</li> <li>Consistent, quantified proof points from existing customers, backed by real performance data.</li> </ul> <h4>Requirements:</h4> <ul> <li>5+ years of product marketing experience in a technical B2B category, with demonstrated depth in at least one relevant market.</li> <li>Real experience building an ICP and messaging architecture from scrat
