Senior Technical Product Manager

Why Work Here

• Flat, highly collaborative teams where engineers and product managers are deeply involved in shaping the product, not siloed into task execution.

• Strong engineering and product culture built around continuous delivery and rapid iteration.

• Minimal bureaucracy: no unnecessary rituals, politics, or process for process’ sake. The team experiments, keeps what works, and removes what doesn’t.

• High ownership and impact — product decisions directly shape the direction of the platform.

What Is This Job About?

The Senior Technical Product Manager owns multiple feature areas of the product. This is a building PM role, not a strategy-only role.

Core responsibilities include:

• Customer-to-prototype in hours, not weeks

  • Actively participate in customer calls

  • Identify customer needs in real time

  • Personally build clickable prototypes using customer data with AI tools (e.g. Claude)

  • This is a core competency — if the PM cannot do this themselves, they cannot do the role

• Full feature ownership

  • Track every customer conversation related to owned features.

  • Own epics end-to-end

  • Move work from backlog to board through delivery

• Engineer-first product design

  • Everything shipped must be neutral-to-positive for engineers

  • Design instinctively for engineer happiness as well as user value

• Deep collaboration with engineering

  • Co-create epics with engineers

  • Guide engineers as they break epics into stories

  • Stay engaged throughout execution

• Meticulous customer analysis

  • Rigorous review of customer meetings

  • Identify both explicit and implicit product signals

• Customer ownership (non-sales)

  • Act as primary point of contact for selected beta customers

  • Strong communication skills and accountability for customer success

• Exceptionally sharp thinker who connects dots quickly and reframes problems

• Deeply numerate, with strong intuition for trade-offs and flawed assumptions

• Natural organizer who instinctively brings structure to ambiguity and chaos

• Traditional PM mindset focused on writing requirements and handing off
