Senior Technical Product Manager (f/m/d) For a Hands-On Product Leader Who Understands System Architecture And Builds With Engineering Team

This role sits right at the intersection of product strategy, engineering decisions, and customer needs, where you shape what gets built, why, and how far. You work closely with a small, senior team, guiding them in turning ideas into well-shipped, high-quality software.

It requires strong ownership and leadership: someone who can set direction, align experienced stakeholders, and support the team in making sound technical and product decisions. You understand systems, trade-offs, and architecture — and are motivated by real responsibility and impact.

• Small, senior team with fast feedback loops and little process overhead

• High autonomy, low politics, quick decisions

• Translate customer and business needs into clear priorities

• Guide and work with a team of ~6 engineers

• Make architectural and technical decisions across the stack

• Stay close to implementation to ensure quality and speed

• Balance performance, scalability, and maintainability

• Collaborate closely with the founder, sales, and customers

Mandatory for this role

• Solid understanding of system architecture, APIs, and data models

• Daily experience using Jira and Confluence in product or engineering teams

This role is a great fit if you are

• A Senior Technical Product Owner / Product Manager with engineering roots

You don’t need to code every day, but you must understand the codebase, system design, and technical trade-offs well enough to make independent decisions and guide the team.
