We set high standards and live up to them, ensuring that everything we do is done with care and quality. We approach every challenge with ambition and commitment, holding ourselves and each other accountable to achieve the best results. This role offers an exceptional opportunity to manage the complete product lifecycle within a high-velocity, collaborative environment. You will not just be managing a backlog; you will be the strategic bridge connecting engineering, design, and go-to-market functions to bring innovative capabilities to life.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Product Vision & Execution: Own the quarterly plan, prioritize the feature backlog, and lead the delivery for a major product area.

Backlog & Roadmap Alignment: Prioritize the sprint and release backlog by balancing technical debt, platform scalability, and business impact to maximize customer value.

Specification Writing: Write detailed specifications for the team and fellow product managers to review and provide feedback on.

Impact Analysis: Track adoption and usage of new features, applying appropriate metrics and analytics to evaluate whether they are having the desired impact.

Ownership: Own features all the way through final documentation, go-to-market, prioritization of bugs, and usage analysis.

Team Development: Mentor junior product managers and interview product manager candidates.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Education: Bachelor of Engineering / Bachelor of Technology (B.E / B.Tech) BA/BS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.

Experience: 3–5 years of progressive experience in Product Management, ideally within a technical or platform-oriented domain.

Technical at Heart: You have a strong technical background. While you don't need to write the code, you must be able to hold your own in a deep-dive architectural discussion with senior engineers.

Analytical Reasoning: A strong ability to perform comparative analysis between different technical solutions and communicate the "why" behind a chosen path.

Strategic Thinker: You are a problem solver with a proven ability to prioritize, negotiate, and execute in a fast-paced environment.

Clear Communicator: You must be able to synthesize complex technical updates into actionable insights for the broader organization.

Strive for Resolution: You don't shy away from technical disagreements. You use data and logic to reach a resolution that serves the product, not just the consensus.

Intensity: You take personal ownership of your subsystem’s performance and adoption metrics.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Prior experience designing APIs, enterprise system integrations, or process automation components.

We value experience with enterprise platforms such as Salesforce or ServiceNow, as these skills translate well into our enterprise-grade orchestration platform.
