Senior Product Manager - Data Streaming

The posting, as HiveMQ GmbH wrote it

HiveMQ is the Industrial AI Platform helping enterprises move from connected devices to intelligent operations. Built on the MQTT standard and a distributed edge-to-cloud architecture, HiveMQ connects and governs industrial data in real time, enabling global leaders like Audi, BMW, Eli Lilly, and Siemens to operationalize AI and drive innovation at scale.

At HiveMQ, our culture is Effortless → Empowered → Relentless. We make the complex simple, act with confidence and ownership, and never stop pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Join us to power the future of intelligent industry.

The Opportunity

We’re seeking an exceptional Senior Product Manager to lead HiveMQ’s Data Streaming portfolio — the connectivity and transport foundation that every other layer of our Industrial AI Platform depends on. The core product is our flagship offering: HiveMQ Enterprise Broker, the high-performance MQTT server running at the core of industrial operations at companies mentioned above and more.

A critical and differentiating element of the Enterprise Broker is its extensibility system — the mechanism by which new functionality is built in the field, validated against real customer needs, and reviewed, generalized, and graduated into the core product. Managing this well requires two things in parallel: ensuring OT teams can easily build integrations with IT systems without friction, and maintaining a healthy process by which extensions are proposed, triaged, and absorbed into the roadmap rather than accumulating as one-off customizations.

The Data Streaming layer faces a genuinely interesting strategic challenge: it is HiveMQ’s primary revenue engine today, but lighter brokers and free-tier strategies from competitors are beginning to pressure pricing in some segments. The response isn’t to double down on features — it’s to make HiveMQ the default substrate for operational agents, the only choice that compounds into Intelligence and Agentic AI in ways no alternative can match. Translating that thesis into a product roadmap is as much a PM job as a strategic one.
