Sr. Technical Project Manager

Xano is the fastest way to build a scalable backend for any App using No-Code. Each Xano account comes with a Scalable Server, a Flexible Database, and a No-Code API Creator that can transform, filter, and integrate with data from anywhere. We are well-capitalized and on the road to accomplishing our broader mission:

More and more people are turning to No-Code to build the software they need. Since our launch in 2021, we have helped over 60,000 users build their backend using Xano. To date, most of our growth has been organic/word-of-mouth, and we've been fortunate that our growth has been steady. As we look at our goals in the next 24 months, we need a proactive Technical Project Manager who can turn ideas into reality while balancing user needs with strategic goals.

• Passion for user experience and ability to translate feedback into actionable, innovative solutions.
• Can develop a clear vision and create realistic, feasible plans to achieve it.

This role is not just about making decisions; it's about owning a significant portion of our operations, being reliable, and handling tasks that others may not have the time, bandwidth, or knowledge to address. You'll be expected to drive change, demonstrate the value of your ideas through personal implementation, and continuously improve our processes and tools.


This is an exciting opportunity to work at a fast-growing, mission and community-driven startup.

• : we have an open, direct team culture: leadership discusses initiatives, issues, and plans openly, and enjoys being challenged on their thinking.
• : we are product-led and are focused on execution in the day-to-day. This means no endless meetings on strategy and execution. If we disagree about a feature direction, we'll default to trying it out in a quick, low-risk way.
• : we measure success based on customer happiness. If you pitch something you think would dramatically improve our users' lives and the team agrees, the response will almost always be "let's do it!"
