About the Role

As a Product Manager at Factory, you will own the strategy and execution for a key area of our product suite, shaping how engineering teams experience autonomous software development. You will partner with customers to deeply understand their workflows, distill their feedback into actionable insights, and drive improvements that make Factory a fundamental driver of their daily work.
