Technical Product Manager

Summary

Technical Product Manager at Ralabs translates business needs into technical plans for a Node.js/AWS scheduling and rentals product, coordinating engineering work and improving workflows with AI tools.

This role bridges product and engineering, translating feature requests and PRDs into clear, actionable technical plans. You'll work across a Node.js/AWS product line focused on scheduling and rentals, helping the development team stay focused on building by handling technical decomposition, documentation, and cross-team coordination.

Note: This role has shifted hours, running until 3:00 AM Kyiv time (5:00 PM PDT), to overlap with our international team.

What You'll Do:

  • Technical Requirements:

Turn feature requests and PRDs into clear, development-ready Jira stories. Work with Product Managers to assess feasibility and choose the best implementation approach. Break down complex initiatives into well-scoped work items with dependencies and edge cases clearly documented.

  • Engineering Support

Do the upfront research — business context, data models, API contracts — so engineers spend less time gathering background. Act as the main link between Product and Engineering, keeping priorities and tradeoffs clear on both sides, and represent engineering in meetings without overloading their schedules.

  • Ticket & Workflow Management

Keep Jira tickets clean, clear, and actionable before they hit the sprint backlog. Link tickets to relevant PRDs, designs, and technical docs. Make sure acceptance criteria are testable and aligned with QA.

  • Documentation & Process

Build and maintain templates for technical specs, PRDs, and ticket formats. Help refine the workflow from PRD to release. Document architecture decisions, API designs, and integration patterns for the team's shared knowledge base.

  • Feature Development

Explore the existing codebase to break down new features and present implementation options with tradeoffs. Author technical design docs that serve as an engineering blueprint. Flag technical debt and modernization opportunities alongside new feature work.

  • AI & Emerging Tech

Explore where LLMs and agentic AI can improve development workflows and product features — from AI-assisted coding to smarter user-facing tools. Prototype AI-driven solutions and help set technical standards for AI/ML work across the platform.

  • Release Management

Help keep releases smooth and well-coordinated. Create release notes, walkthroughs, and change summaries. Monitor post-release metrics and support bug triage using session data and support tickets.

  • Key Deliverables

Clear, actionable technical requirements ready for engineering
Well-prepared Jira tickets with acceptance criteria and linked docs
Technical design documents that guide implementation
Streamlined, standardized release processes
Less time spent by engineers on research and context-gathering
Reusable templates and documentation standards
