About the role

As a Senior Product Manager, you will be at the forefront of driving features and infrastructure capabilities that are critical to our platform -  with a particular focus on the Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) initiative. You’ll lead the end-to-end development of technically complex features, such as server-to-server integrations, backend workflows, data exchange between internal systems and external partners and user facing UI and experiences.  This role requires strong technical intuition, sensitivity to user experience details, ability to navigate documentation, and a deep understanding of how systems connect across the stack. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, business partners and other product managers to ensure seamless alignment across teams and deliver robust, scalable solutions that support our D2C efforts and broader platform evolution.

Responsibilities
  • Own and lead both backend/frontend  product features and technical platform initiatives from concept to delivery.
  • Deeply understand our platform architecture, including how backend services interact with frontend applications and data systems.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering, data product managers, and frontend product managers to align on product scope, milestones, and delivery plans.
  • Read and interpret technical documentation (e.g., APIs, system designs) to define product specs and translate them into actionable work for engineering teams.
  • Identify product opportunities by analyzing platform capabilities and gaps in technical infrastructure.
  • Write clear, detailed, and technically accurate product requirements and specifications.
  • Ensure high-quality execution through testing, validation, and iteration in collaboration with engineering and QA.
  • Serve as the product point of contact for technical stakeholders and system integrators.
  • Prioritize product work based on impact, complexity, and cross-team dependencies.
Who are you?
  • A technically fluent product manager who understands systems architecture, backend services, and the logic behind APIs and data flows.
  • Detail-oriented and highly attentive to UX in designing complex UI solutions.
  • A structured thinker with the ability to break down complex problems and guide execution from A to Z.
  • A collaborator who thrives in cross-functional settings and works well with technical and non-technical peers alike.
  • A clear communicator who can translate between business needs and engineering realities.
  • Comfortable working in ambiguity and charting a path forward in technically complex or undefined areas.
  • Self-motivated and proactive — you don’t wait for someone else to figure it out.
  • An experienced individual contributor who wants to develop into managerial role
Requirements
  • 5 years of experience as a product manager or in a similar role owning frontend and or backend features.
  • Team management experience 
  • Strong understanding of backend & frontend  architectures, APIs, data structures, and system design.
  • Experience reading and writing technical documentation and working closely with engineers.
  • Proven success leading cross-functional product development for technical or infrastructure-heavy features.
  • Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
  • Experience working with distributed systems, microservices, or data pipelines is a plus.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Verbal and written proficiency in English.
