Senior Product Manager - Code Translation & Developer Tooling

Stack

Responsibilities

• ▹Own the roadmap for your outcome area end to end, from discovery through delivery and iteration, translating customer pain into prioritized product decisions
• ▹Conduct customer discovery with technical stakeholders: engineers, architects, tech leads and solutions engineering
• ▹Quickly ramp into unfamiliar technical domains (language semantics, toolchains, hardware constraints) and synthesize what you learn into clear product direction
• ▹Work side by side with Engineering to understand technical tradeoffs, shape implementation approaches and make informed prioritization decisions
• ▹Build and maintain a smaller roadmap that feeds into the broader platform roadmap
• ▹Write clear PRDs that turn ambiguity into a specific plan
• ▹Make thoughtful tradeoffs between customer value, technical complexity and speed, and prioritize ruthlessly
• ▹Represent your outcome area in cross-functional and customer-facing conversations, communicating decisions and rationale to technical and non-technical audiences
• ▹Grow your charter over time, starting with a defined subset of pipelines and scenarios and expanding into adjacent ones

Requirements

• ▹Experience owning software products from discovery through launch in a technical B2B, enterprise or platform environment
• ▹5+ years of Product Management experience building technical software products
• ▹Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new industries, technologies and customer domains without requiring deep prior subject-matter expertise
• ▹Strong customer discovery and user research skills, with experience translating insights into roadmap decisions
• ▹Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where priorities evolve as new information emerges
• ▹Comfortable engaging with technical concepts such as language semantics, toolchains or hardware constraints
• ▹Demonstrated MVP thinking: scoping the smallest valuable slice of a problem rather than defaulting to the full solution
• ▹Self-awareness about the edges of your own expertise, and a track record of learning new technical domains quickly
• ▹Outstanding written and verbal communication skills across executive, technical and customer audiences
• ▹Ability to pass a standard background check

Nice to have

• ▹Experience building developer tools, platform products, compilers, embedded systems or other technically sophisticated products where the customer is often another engineer or technical team
• ▹Experience working directly with highly technical customers, engineers and domain experts
• ▹Prior exposure to automotive, kernel development, aerospace, semiconductor or regulated/safety-critical industries
• ▹Experience bringing new products from concept through launch in early-stage or high-growth environments

Soft skills

What we offer
