  • Technical Depth – Collaborate with engineering to design scalable architectures, define data models, and evaluate trade-offs between performance, usability, and maintainability.
  • Customer & Market Discovery – Engage with enterprise customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to understand technical requirements and translate them into product capabilities.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership – Partner with engineering, design, solutions engineering, and go-to-market teams to ensure successful launches and adoption.
  • Platform Vision – Contribute to Optibus’ platform strategy by defining standards for interoperability, modularity, and extensibility (e.g., APIs, SDKs, integrations, GenAI orchestration).
  • Execution Excellence – Write detailed product specs, acceptance criteria, and success metrics; manage the backlog and prioritize effectively in fast-moving contexts.
  • Thought Leadership – Represent Optibus in technical and industry forums, positioning our platform as the backbone of modern transportation operations and a leader in applied GenAI.

Requirements
  • 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager in SaaS, platform, or integration-heavy products.
  • Strong technical background (CS/Engineering degree or equivalent experience). Ability to engage in deep technical discussions with engineers and customers.
  • Hands-on experience with APIs, data integrations, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise-scale systems.
  • Proven track record of launching AI/ML or GenAI-powered products (assistants, automation, or decision-support tools).
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate between business needs and technical solutions.
  • Comfortable balancing long-term platform strategy with short-term delivery.
  • Strong analytical skills; experience defining and tracking product success metrics.
  • Familiarity with optimization engines, workflow automation frameworks, and developer ecosystems is a plus.
  • Passion for public transportation, mobility, or enterprise SaaS platforms.
