The Role We're looking for a pragmatic Product Manager who can drive features from customer problem to delivery with minimal process. This is not a "project manager" or "product owner" role — we care about shipping real value fast, not maintaining SCRUM rituals. What You'll Do Own the full product lifecycle : understand user problems, define technical specs, prototype (AI tools encouraged), and work closely with developers to ship high-quality releases. Collaborate with the Product Lead and CTO to shape and scope features for each 8-week release cycle. Make informed tradeoffs — balancing simplicity, technical feasibility, and long-term sustainability. Coordinate development progress and ensure features are delivered, QA'd, documented, and ready to go . Drive continuous improvement based on customer feedback, usage data, and community input. What We're Looking For Hands-on, startup-minded PM comfortable working without heavy process or structure . Strong technical understanding — ideally with exposure to infrastructure automation or orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, or similar). Excellent communication and clarity in writing — specs, product decisions, and public-facing documentation. Full ownership mentality. You iterate quickly based on feedback and don't wait to be told what to do. Experience or familiarity with open-source development — comfortable writing publicly and discussing product changes in GitHub repositories. Comfortable working with globally distributed teams across time zones. Bonus Points Past experience as a software or infrastructure engineer . Experience in a B2B software or open-source company . Exposure to SaaS products , especially self-serve or platform-oriented. Familiarity with developer communities and how they adopt tools. What You Get Real ownership in a globally distributed, technical team . Direct exposure to product strategy and company priorities. A product used for mission-critical workloads — not demos. Competitive compensation, equity, and health insurance.
