Technical Product Manager | Mission-Driven HealthTech Startup

Location: San Francisco Bay Area (Local candidates only)

Early-stage startup experience is a must

Unfortunately, we are not set up for visa sponsorship at this time

About Us

Navigating cancer is overwhelming—patients and caregivers face a fragmented, complex system with little guidance. Our mission-driven digital health startup is changing that by building the most comprehensive self-advocacy platform available, empowering patients at every step of their journey.

Backed by top-tier venture investors and strategic healthtech accelerators, we are scaling our impact and expanding our product to better serve the cancer community. This is an opportunity to be part of an early-stage, high-growth team dedicated to improving the experience for patients and their families.

The Role: Technical Product Manager

We are looking for a highly technical product manager with proven early-stage startup experience (0-1 or early scaling). You’ll bridge Product and Engineering, ensuring our team moves fast, ships efficiently, and builds with technical precision. Your role will be execution-focused, owning feature readiness, technical refinement, and backlog management.

What You’ll Do

  • Translate product ideas into engineering-ready specs with clear technical considerations.
  • Work closely with engineers to scope, refine, and anticipate technical challenges.
  • Own backlog management and sprint planning, ensuring seamless execution.
  • Define and track key product metrics, ensuring features drive impact and engagement.
  • Optimize product-engineering collaboration, identifying inefficiencies and improving workflows.

What You Bring

Must have: Proven experience in an early-stage startup (Seed to Series A).

Local SF Bay Area candidates only – This role requires in-person collaboration.

Strong technical fluency – Understanding of APIs, databases, and system design.

Execution-first mindset – Able to break down ideas into clear, detailed tickets.

Startup adaptability – Thrives in a fast-moving, resource-constrained environment.

Excellent communication skills – Can bridge the gap between Product and Engineering.

Bonus: Prior experience as a software engineer or in a highly technical product role.

Why Join Us?

  • Mission-driven work – Build technology that directly improves cancer care.
  • High-impact role – Play a key role in defining and executing product strategy.
  • Experienced team – Work alongside healthcare and tech veterans.
  • Competitive compensation & equity – Be part of an early-stage company with high growth potential.
