Product Analyst, Universal Storage Backend (SaaS)

About the Role

The R&D Analyst, Universal Storage Backend (SaaS) is an embedded technical contributor within Veeam's Product Management organization, supporting the teams responsible for next-generation storage capabilities across Veeam's flagship and SaaS product lines. You will provide strong technical, architectural, and analytical expertise across data storage technologies, related APIs, security, release processes, and data-driven product insights.

This role sits at the intersection of on-premises enterprise reliability and modern SaaS-driven storage architectures. You will work closely with Product Managers and R&D engineers to validate design decisions, analyze product behavior, define requirements, and ensure that storage-related capabilities are built with the right level of quality, scalability, and security.

What You’ll Do

• Bring hands-on knowledge of technologies like Apache Iceberg, Databricks, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, and relevant Veeam components (e.g. Unstructured data backup engine) into product analysis
• Provide structured input to PMs and R&D on storage feature scope, architecture options, integrations, and technology choices
• Validate approaches for data retention and lifecycle management
• Review encryption and key management concepts (data at rest/in transit) and raise risks/gaps
• Support analysis of malware/ransomware detection techniques relevant to storage and data protection
• Define and drive analysis for “backup target–near” features from investigation through delivery review
• Analyze and help maintain the product’s REST APIs (entities, auth patterns, versioning, usability, consistency) and keep API documentation current
• Support on‑prem release activities with analysis and documentation to keep teams aligned
• Use monitoring concepts (dashboards, KPIs, trends) to turn metrics into clear insights for prioritization and technical decisions

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of relevant experience in technical analysis/product analysis roles in software, storage, platform, or adjacent areas
• Strong knowledge of storage, encryption, and retention/lifecycle management in enterprise or SaaS environments
• Hands-on understanding of modern storage architectures: object storage, block storage, deduplication systems, and table formats (e.g., Apache Iceberg), including metadata concepts
• Strong grasp of REST API design (structure, authentication, versioning) and ability to assess API usability and consistency
• Understanding of ransomware/malware detection approaches and how they apply to storage/backup solutions
• Strong analytical thinking and structured reasoning; comfortable being accountable for recommendations and outputs
• Ability to build and use virtualization labs (e.g., VMware) to investigate system behavior independently

Technologies You’ll Work With

• Apache Iceberg
• Databricks
• ClickHouse
• Elasticsearch
• Azure DevOps
• Confluence
• AI-assisted tools (e.g., Copilot, ClaudeCode)
• Figma

Bonus Skills

• Understanding of SaaS release processes and how they differ from on‑prem enterprise releases
• Familiarity with Veeam products or related backup/recovery components
• Bachelor’s degree in CS / Software Engineering / Information Systems (or equivalent industry experience)

What You’ll Get

• 25 vacation days, 4 sick days, 21 paid medical leave days, plus 4 extra global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
• Premium private medical insurance for employees and dependents
• Daily meal vouchers for restaurants and groceries (180 CZK per working day)
• Flexible cafeteria platform with thousands of lifestyle benefit options
• Multisport Card for gym and wellness, with family add-on options
• Annual public transport reimbursement up to a set limit
• Corporate mobile plan with optional family tariff
• Opportunities to learn and grow through on-demand libraries (LinkedIn Learning, O’Reilly), mentoring, workshops and learning events like our annual Global Day of Learning
