Principal Product Manager, Java Intelligence

Azul == Java. As the only company focused 100% on Java, Azul is building the Java platform for the modern cloud enterprise. We are reimagining how customers use Java, bringing them the tools and insight they need to deliver faster, more performant, more dependable, and less expensive Java services. It requires experts in many areas — hardcore experts in Java VM internals, application developers with deep knowledge of Java, backend and frontend developers, performance engineers, etc. Come join one of the most influential members of the Java and OpenJDK community and help influence the future of Java.
The Products
Azul Intelligence Cloud turns production Java runtime data into actionable intelligence. It works with any JVM from any vendor — Azul, Oracle, Amazon, Microsoft, Red Hat, Eclipse — which makes it the one Azul product that can land in an enterprise’s entire Java estate regardless of what runtime they run today. The suite spans Code Inventory (class- and method-level reports of what code actually executes in production, so dead code can be found and removed) and JVM Inventory. Azul’s customers include 36% of the Fortune 100 and 50% of Forbes’ top 10 World’s Most Valuable Brands. Intelligence Cloud is a new product and Azul's primary growth bet — early enough that whoever takes this role will shape what it becomes.
Azul Optimizer Hub makes Java applications start fast and stay fast. A component of Azul Prime, it runs as a set of services in the customer’s own Kubernetes environment, in the cloud or on premises, and takes optimization work off the JVMs themselves: Cloud Native Compiler offloads JIT compilation to dedicated, scalable compute, and ReadyNow Orchestrator records and serves warm-up profiles, so new JVMs can do much of their warm-up before they take traffic. Because JVMs share optimizations through it, Optimizer Hub pays off most at fleet scale — one enterprise runs more than 10,000 JVMs against a single instance and has cut its cloud costs by more than 20%.
Payara InSight gives teams running Azul Payara Server real-time visibility and alerting on their servers and the applications running on them. Azul Payara Server is the Jakarta EE application server that joined Azul when it acquired Payara in December 2025. It is growing from a console that watches one Payara domain into a product that sees every Payara Server and Payara Micro instance, wherever it runs.
All three put what happens inside production Java to work — Intelligence Cloud to show customers what their Java estate is actually running, Optimizer Hub to make it run faster and cheaper, and Payara InSight to show how the applications on top of it are behaving. Beyond that, they differ in almost every way that matters to a product manager: Intelligence Cloud is SaaS, works with any JVM, and can land in any Java estate; Optimizer Hub is self-hosted, works only with Azul Prime, and turns Prime from a faster JVM into a faster fleet; Payara InSight is built for Azul Payara and speaks to the teams who run applications rather than JVMs. We expect the three to work more and more as one platform, and shaping that is part of this job.
