Job description

At Nymbus, the AI Technical Product Manager, Core is the primary builder in our squad triad model

You are responsible for transforming product vision into reality

Working within a dedicated squad alongside an Architect (who owns system design and technical integrity) and a Shipper (who owns delivery, quality, and release), you own the build, from specification through implementation

You operate with an AI-first, spec-first mindset, leveraging tools like Kiro and Claude to accelerate every phase of product creation

This is not a traditional product owner or product management role

You bring your own experience, research, and creativity to design products end-to-end, authoring specifications, shaping system behavior, and iterating rapidly using AI‑assisted workflows

You own the “what” and the “how,” translating domain problems into working, shippable software

THE SQUAD TRIAD MODEL:

• You operate as one-third of a high-autonomy squad:
• Technical Product Manager / Builder (This Role): Owns product intent, specification, and implementation. You are the primary creator — designing system behavior, authoring specs, and iterating with AI tools to produce working software. Deep domain knowledge is a plus; the ability to acquire it quickly is a must
• Architect (Your Partner): Owns system design, technical integrity, and cross-squad consistency. The Architect ensures your solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with platform architecture. You collaborate daily on data models, API contracts, and integration patterns
• Shipper (Your Partner): Owns delivery, quality assurance, release management, and operational readiness. The Shipper ensures what you build meets quality standards, passes validation, and reaches production reliably. You collaborate on acceptance criteria, test coverage, and deployment strategy
• Together, the triad owns outcomes end-to-end — from problem definition through production operation

WHAT YOU WILL OWN:

• Product Design and Specification
• Use AI tools (Kiro, Claude) to rapidly iterate on designs, edge cases, and alternative approaches
• Own end-to-end product design from problem definition through system behavior and user experience
• Author clear, testable, implementation-ready specifications using AI-assisted workflows
• Define APIs, data models, and interaction patterns in partnership with the squad Architect
• Translate business requirements and domain knowledge into buildable system specifications

AI-First Building and Implementation

• Build working software using AI-assisted development workflows as the primary creation method
• Generate, refine, and implement product and technical specifications using spec-driven development
• Prototype and validate solutions rapidly before committing to full implementation
• Push through ambiguity — when requirements are unclear, explore, propose, and build to learn
• Leverage AI tools as co-developers, not just assistants, to multiply output and quality

Squad Collaboration

• Partner daily with the Architect on API design, data modeling, and system architecture decisions
• Coordinate with the Shipper on acceptance criteria, testability, and release readiness
• Participate directly in technical design discussions and tradeoff decisions with the full triad
• Surface blockers, risks, and dependencies to the squad early and proactively
• Maintain shared context with squad partners through specifications, documentation, and working demos

Benefits

• Healthcare and Dependant Care Flexible Spending Accounts
• Nymbus Awards and Recognition
• Retirement Plan Services / 401(k)
• Parental and Disability Leaves
• Time Off and Company Holidays
• Flexibility of being Fully Remote
• Collaborative Environment
• Employer Subsidized Medical and Dental Insurance
