About Revel

Software platform for hardware development, testing, and command. From prototype to production—accelerate timelines across aerospace, energy, and defense. Backed by Index, Felicis and Redpoint.

About the role

We’re hiring a Product Manager to own how customers write, test, and ship the control programs that run their hardware. Those programs are written in RevelCode, our domain-specific language for hardware control, and you’ll own both the language experience and the IDE we’re building for it. The people writing RevelCode are test and controls engineers, and what they write executes against physical systems. A confusing compiler error or a slow test loop costs more than time here. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • You’ve built developer tools and you use them critically. You can tell the difference between a feature developers ask for and one they’d actually adopt
  • You can read a compiler error from the user’s point of view and say what’s wrong with it
  • You’re comfortable working with engineers who operate deep in systems, compilers, or real-time infrastructure
  • You don’t need fully defined requirements to get started
  • You care about product quality and user experience, not just delivery
  • 5+ years of product management experience on developer tools: an IDE, code editor, language toolchain, CI system, or SDK

Own the full workflow for writing, testing, deploying, and monitoring RevelCode: editing and deploying configurations to the runtime, unit testing control logic before it ships, version control, and dashboard generation

Own RevelCode usability end to end: syntax, snippets, completion, diagnostics, and the compiler errors customers report as the most confusing

Run discovery with customers and operators, including at air-gapped sites, to learn which editor features they actually depend on rather than which ones they’d claim to miss

Develop an IDE strategy that engineering agrees with. It should say what our IDE does better than a general-purpose editor for...
