Job description
If you’re passionate about innovation and love working in an environment where you can constantly improve and adopt new technologies to drive business results, then Nationwide’s Information Technology team could be the place for you!
As a Technology Product Manager, you will lead infrastructure engineers involved in the analysis, design, development and implementation of hardware/software. This includes identifying hardware/software systems requirements, hardware/software design, project planning, prioritizing and monitoring progress. Resource allocation and monitoring project status and efficiency are key to success. You also may have opportunities to coordinate with other managers to integrate project with other systems hardware/software.
This is a critical role focused on the thought leadership, delivery and uplift of event streaming capabilities for developers across Nationwide. The primary task will be to grow the event streaming capability and provide an event backplane as a compliment to APIs, where developers can publish and subscribe to business events from across the enterprise. Some of the critical skills for the role will include people leadership, delivery of enterprise products & services, and technical thought leadership related to event streaming vision, strategy and delivery.
An ideal candidate understands the differences between message queuing, event streaming and APIs. Experience with streaming technologies (i.e. Kafka, Kinesis, Confluent) is a huge plus. A development background is also greatly desired in order to understand the value of event streaming as it relates to the developer experience. This is a great opportunity to build a critical component of cloud native architectures that touches all parts of the enterprise.
This role is hybrid to the Columbus, OH offices and expected to be in the office at least once every week.
