Job description

Nango (YC W23) lets developers build product integrations with AI. It gives agents and applications access to the APIs their users rely on.

More than 500 paying customers use Nango today, including Monday, ServiceNow, Replit and Ramp. We are a YC-backed team of 14 from AWS, GitHub, Okta, Snyk, Netlify, Uber, Samsara, Workato, and other leading developer-tool companies.

We are hiring our first Product Manager to help shape how agents connect to the outside world. Many of Nango’s most important product interfaces are technical: APIs, SDKs, configuration, and runtime behavior.

You will work directly with the founders, particularly our co-founder and Chief Product Officer. You will own established and experimental product areas, working closely with customers, engineers, design, marketing, and sales from discovery through launch.

This is a central role at the forefront of AI and agent infrastructure. It is an unusual opportunity to learn how a technical product with strong market pull is built and scaled.

What You’ll Do

• Own product areas from discovery through launch.

• Talk to customers and turn their problems into product improvements.

• Research the agent ecosystem, emerging trends, and competitors.

• Define APIs, SDKs, workflows, and developer experiences.

• Explore new ways for agents to connect to external systems.

• Collaborate with engineering and design on product execution.

• Coordinate releases with marketing and sales.

• Measure what customers use and improve what we ship.

Who You Are

• You have a programming background through education or professional experience.

• Bonus: you have worked as a software engineer or on a developer product.

• Bonus: you want to found a company one day.
