Technical Product Manager

TechDigital Group; Dallas (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

TechDigital Group seeks a technical product manager to own platform/data-infrastructure specifications. You will write complete, unambiguous requirements intended for an isolated implementation team, ensuring every file path, import, config value, error string, and acceptance criterion is present.

You will operate under a clean-room discipline where communication relies on the spec alone, validated by observable test outcomes rather than code review.

Qualifications

• Must craft complete, unambiguous specs.
• Specs must be consumable by isolated implementation teams.

Responsibilities

• Author specifications for isolated teams with clean-room discipline.
• Ensure spec fully documents files, imports, configs, errors, and acceptance criteria.
• Validate via observable test outcomes only, without viewing implementation.

Must Haves:

• Apache Airflow 3.x
• Hybrid Azure/AKS + on-prem infrastructure literacy
• Postgres
• Redis

Job Description/ Responsibilities Clean-room / Chinese Wall discipline

• Demonstrated experience authoring **specifications consumed by an isolated implementation team** — clean-room reverse engineering, regulated/defense work, or formal spec-to-vendor handoffs.
• Understands that **the spec is the only communication channel.** Writes requirements that are *complete on first contact* — every file path, import, config value, error string, and acceptance criterion is present, because the "single turn, no follow-up questions" standard is the acceptance bar for their own output.
• Comfortable with the wall cutting **both ways**: they cannot see the clean-room code, and they cannot talk to the developers. They validate through **observable test outcomes only**, never by reading the implementation.

Experience & Background

• Technical product / technical program management on platform or data-infrastructure products (not consumer apps).
• Track record writing **acceptance-criteria-driven specs validated by automated test suites**, not demos.

Soft Skills (which here are actually hard requirements)

• **Pathological precision and completeness** — "good enough, we'll clarify later" is not the right approach. Ambiguity is a defect.
• **Empathy for an audience they will never speak to** — must anticipate every clean-room question and pre-answer it in the spec.
