## About the role

Integrations are how our product works inside customers' real environments, and where our delivery risk concentrates. We're hiring a senior PM to own that surface end to end: someone who writes specs precise enough to prevent late stage rework, and who has the credibility to sit across from a partner's product and engineering leads and change their approach when it doesn't fit our use case. This is a senior IC role with minimal direction.

## What they're looking for

- Required
- 6+ years in product management, with at least 3 years owning integrations, APIs, platform, or partner-facing products
- A demonstrable track record of shipping non-trivial third-party integrations — ideally several — where you personally owned the requirements
- Real technical depth: you read API documentation effortlessly, can test endpoints yourself, reason about data models and sync architecture, and hold your own in an engineering design discussion without being the engineer
- Written specification skills strong enough that engineers reference your docs rather than re-interview you
- Direct experience negotiating technical approach with external partners or vendors, including at least one case where you changed their plan
