- Define and evolve Photon’s API surface area, ensuring consistency, usability, and long-term scalability
- Establish best practices around versioning, documentation, and platform reliability
- Work with commercial and operations teams to understand customer needs and translate them into product requirements
- 5+ years of Product Management experience, with ownership over technical or platform products
- Experience building or owning APIs, platforms, or integration-heavy products
- Strong technical fluency—you’re comfortable working closely with engineers and understanding system design tradeoffs
- Track record of shipping products that balance flexibility with simplicity
- Experience improving onboarding funnels, especially in B2B or enterprise contexts
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and define structure in complex systems
- Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders

Photon is reimagining how prescriptions move through the healthcare system—making it simpler, faster, and more transparent for patients, providers, and pharmacies alike. You’ll:
