WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN A TECHNICAL PRODUCT MANAGER

• Experience as a Technical Product Manager, Product Manager, or Product Owner managing complex, platform-focused, or infrastructure-heavy products
• Solid technical foundation
• Ability to interpret system diagrams, discuss API structures, and understand data models (production coding not required)
• Hands-on experience in a technical role, such as software engineering, data analysis, or systems architecture (preferred)

TECHNICAL PRODUCT MANAGER DAY-TO-DAY

As the Technical Product Manager, you will own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for our core platform capabilities, backend integrations, and API frameworks. Each day, you will partner closely with Engineering leadership and Staff Engineers to balance technical debt, scalability initiatives, and infrastructure modernization with new feature requests. You will translate ambiguous business goals into detailed technical specifications, user stories, and system-level roadmaps.

Early in the product lifecycle, you will lead technical discovery, mapping dependencies, assessing risks, and validating system feasibility. Your day will include managing and prioritizing the backlog for our core platform engineering teams, ensuring requirements are well-defined and ready for execution. You will establish and monitor core platform metrics focused on system reliability, API performance, and data processing efficiency. Most importantly, you will act as the primary translator between deeply technical engineering teams and non-technical business units, ensuring product capabilities and limitations are clearly communicated.
