- Pay
- USD 23 – 35 / hour
What you'll do
- Own the roadmap for your pod: define what gets built, kill low-leverage work, and protect your engineers' time and focus
- Write specs that start with the problem, not the solution, and ship every brief with a clear success criterion
- Participate technically: read the codebase, debug independently, and ship small things when it's faster than context-switching an engineer
- Own QA end-to-end: test plans, regression passes, release sign-off, and post-deploy monitoring in Sentry and Grafana
- Keep the pod moving: fast decisions, async-first communication, and zero ambiguity about what's next
- Close the feedback loop between customers, data, and product direction, and hold yourself accountable to the KPIs you define
What we're looking for
- 3+ years of product management experience in B2B SaaS, startup or high-growth environment
- A hands-on technical background: production code, a bootcamp, or demonstrable ability to navigate a full-stack codebase
- Comfortable reading Python and JavaScript/TypeScript; able to write SQL, reason about REST contracts, and follow frontend state
- Proven QA ownership: test cases, regression cycles, structured bug reports, release sign-off
- Daily fluency with Claude Code or equivalent
- Strong written communication
- Available in EST
- You've shipped production code before and you're honest with yourself about your technical depth
- You treat a spec as a hypothesis to pressure-test, not a document to execute against
- You don't wait to be told what to do
- Deadlines and ambiguity don't rattle you
- You're an AI power user
- You have opinions and you're not afraid to bring them
Benefits
- 15 days PTO
- Christmas Day and New Year's Day paid off
