Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Technical Product Manager with a strong technical background to help shape the future of a new, greenfield AI-driven product currently in development. This role is ideal for someone who has transitioned from software development into product management and can effectively bridge technical possibilities with customer needs.

You will own key product areas, define product strategy and roadmaps, and work closely with engineering, sales, and customer success teams to deliver solutions that drive measurable business value. The role requires a data-driven mindset, the ability to break down complex problems into actionable steps, and end-to-end ownership of outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with engineering teams (internal and/or external) to ensure successful delivery
• Advocate for the customer while balancing market, technical, and industry considerations
• Coalesce diverse inputs into a coherent and executable product roadmap

Given your technical background, you will participate in architectural discussions, evaluate technical trade-offs, and contribute to build-versus-buy decisions. You will work closely with cloud infrastructure on AWS, making informed decisions related to scalability, performance, and cost optimization, while keeping customer outcomes at the center.
