Job Description:

Welcome to Cotality-a place where we believe that behind every data point is a person searching for answers. We are dedicated to lifting people up, making an impact, and innovating always. Our culture is built on the belief that great work comes from being yourself and collaborating with a team that champions your success. We don't just talk about the future; we build it together. Whether we are unifying mortgage tech or predicting natural disasters, we do it with empathy and a "clients first" mindset. If you are ready to do the best work of your career in an environment that values your voice as much as your technical skills, we can't wait to meet you.

What you'll do:

• Own, manage, and prioritize the technical backlog-balancing foundational capabilities (authentication/IAM, billing, e-commerce, onboarding, shared services) with technical debt and active vulnerability remediation.
• Act as the primary technical advocate and liaison for numerous internal application and engineering teams (internal customers). Deeply understand their business requirements to identify common application patterns and champion scalable, platform-level shared solutions.
• Partner with designers, development leads, and architects to guide technical directions while actively mentoring and contributing to Cotality's product management community.

• Active, practical usage of modern AI tools in your current product management workflow (e.g., using LLMs for story writing, brainstorming, and accelerating product delivery activities).
• A strong product mindset (rather than pure project/program management) focused on customer value, user empathy, and high proactive initiative.
• Nice to Haves: Strong preference for candidates who started their careers as a software, platform, or systems engineer before transitioning into technical product management. Experience in real estate, insurance, mortgage, commercial or residential tax industries is a plus.
