We're hiring a Lead Product Manager (flexible on title between "Senior" and "Staff," to be determined in the interview process) to drive product outcomes in a fast-moving AI and developer ecosystem. We're a high-growth Series B company where expectations are high, ownership is real, and the market evolves weekly. We move quickly, we work hard, and we care deeply about product quality and clarity of thinking.
If you’re looking for a well-defined backlog and a calm operating cadence, this isn’t the role. If you want to shape strategy, build conviction through customer insight and first-principles reasoning, and ship in a fast-moving environment, keep reading.
- High agency & intensity: You run toward hard problems, take end-to-end ownership, and operate with urgency. When something breaks or gets messy, you say “I’m on it,” and follow through.
- Clarity from ambiguity: You turn fuzzy customer asks and strategic debates into structured decisions with clear tradeoffs, strong reasoning, and crisp recommendations.
- Exceptional communication: Your writing and verbal communication drive alignment across engineering, design, GTM, and leadership — especially in high-pressure moments.
What you will do:
- Own problems end-to-end: definition, prioritization, execution, and iteration.
- Turn fuzzy ideas into structured plans with clear tradeoffs.
- Partner deeply with engineering and design to scope and ship high-quality outcomes.
- Stay close to customers — through calls, feedback loops, and partnership with sales and support.
- Build conviction using customer insight, data, and strong reasoning.
- Operate at a pace that matches a rapidly evolving market.
The ideal candidate will have:
- 4+ years of product management experience building technical products
- Experience with APIs, developer-facing products, or data-heavy systems is strongly preferred
- Technical fluency:
- Comfortable discussing API design, data models, system constraints, and tradeoffs
- You don’t need to code — but you must think clearly in technical systems
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills
- Strong analytical thinking and structured problem-solving
- A demonstrated track record of ownership and follow-through
- Comfort operating in fast-paced, high-expectation environments
Compensation
- The cash compensation range for this role is $180,000 - $235,000
- Actual compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years & depth of experience, certifications. In addition to cash compensation, all employees receive an equity compensation package.
