About the role

You'll own the Build & Deliver phases of our product development lifecycle (PDLC). Our Director and Senior Product Manager own the book-end PDLC phases: listening to signals, identifying opportunities, shaping and validating solutions, prototyping with customers, facilitating go-to-market activities, and measuring product performance. Once a feature or project is approved and validated, it hands off to you: you break it down, get it into the sprint machine, and drive it cleanly through to release.

What they're looking for

  • Translate agile PRDs into clear, granular features, stories, and requirements — with unambiguous acceptance criteria and reproduction steps
  • Decompose the big and the small: large initiatives into epics, then features, then stories, and single-feature efforts into detailed, buildable requirements
  • Maintain a clean, groomed backlog with multiple sprints of ready work staged ahead
  • Break work down independently, with minimal oversight — a true self-starter
  • Apply sound prioritization and make fast, defensible tradeoffs when stories compete for limited capacity. Or quickly raise your hand when prioritization is unclear
  • Triage bugs by real severity and urgency —not all bugs are created equal

About the team

We're a small, tight-knit, and high-performing product team that genuinely likes working together — kind, caring, hardworking, smart, and low-ego. If you do great work with pride of ownership, have high honesty & integrity, treat engineers as respected partners, have a bias toward learning, and make the people around you better, you'll fit right in.
