Job description

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A TECHNICAL PRODUCT MANAGER

NOTE: Attention to detail is important to us, so please read this entire description before applying and follow the instructions below. Any application that doesn't fulfill the instructions or requirements below will be ignored.

ABOUT US

TinyURL is the original URL shortener, created over 20 years ago to make the internet a simpler and more user-friendly place. In recent years, we’ve begun exploring the potential of the service as a full SaaS product capable of leading the market for link shortening, link management, and related solutions.

We are a fast-growing, multinational team looking to grow our team of skilled and motivated talent.

ABOUT THE ROLE

You are the single source of truth for everything we build: you run internal discovery, write crystal-clear specifications, own the backlog & roadmap, and ensure perfect alignment between the Founder’s vision and the development team’s execution.

ABOUT YOU

You will be our single source of truth for everything we build. Your daily work includes:

• Running internal discovery workshops with the Founder and the team
• Writing crystal-clear high-level documentation covering feature overview, risk and mitigation, acceptance criteria, and UI/UX requirements
• Monitoring and updating all documentation progress for user stories, edge cases, design updates, and task updates
• Track and maintain the product backlog, making sure that any updates that happened during the course of development are reflected on each backlog ticket
• Ownership and accountability for the company roadmap and release planning
• Working hand-in-hand with developers and the Founder for any technical adjustments to the requirements
• Supporting the Customer Success team: answering product questions, jumping into tickets, writing release notes, and keeping the internal knowledge base up to date
• Presenting the status of each feature development, ensuring all departments are aligned with the progress
• Establish the process for managing documentation
• Documenting internal processes and decision logs so nothing ever gets lost

OUR REQUIREMENTS

• 4+ years of experience in technical product management
• Proven track record of writing excellent specs that developers love to work from
• Comfortable working European hours (GMT to GMT+3 ideal) & American hours (mixed)
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• Highly experienced with Jira and Jira automation + Confluence management is a must
• Previously worked in a company with <30 people is a big plus
• Real hands-on development experience – you have shipped production code (backend or full-stack preferred) is also a HUGE consideration

ABOUT YOU

(We only hire people who genuinely match most of these – be honest!)

• You speak fluent “developer” with the team and plain English with everyone else – switching feels natural.
• You refuse to give up until you understand the requirements. You are not afraid to say that you do not know everything
• You hate ambiguity and love turning messy ideas into perfectly clear specs.
• You’re happy to jump into support tickets or explain features to CS – you see it as part of owning the product.
• You spot gaps in the backlog, roadmap, or documentation before anyone asks.
• You’re proactive by default – if something needs doing, you do it or flag it.
• You’re structured and detail-oriented, but you ship fast.
• You get energy from shipping features end-to-end in a tiny team.
• You’re flexible with hours when something urgent comes up (we’re small!).
• You thrive on ownership and hate waiting for permission to make things better.
• You’re a team player who celebrates when the company wins.
