Technical Product Manager

We're hiring a Senior Product Manager based in Romania to work alongside our engineering team there, reporting to a US-based manager. You'll own product outcomes end to end: shaping the roadmap, turning ambiguity into clear specs, and making sure what ships actually solves the problem it was scoped to solve.

This is a builder's Product Manager role. When you have an idea, we expect you to get your hands dirty — stand up a prototype, wire up a demo, prove the concept — before handing it to engineering to make it real. You don't need to be a production engineer. You do need to be dangerous enough to build.

You'll also be the connective tissue between a US-based leadership team and Romania-based engineers — which means you need to run autonomously during your day, communicate crisply across time zones, and keep both sides confident that the right things are moving.

• Own the roadmap for your product area — define priorities, write specs, and make the calls on scope and sequencing

• Prototype your own ideas: build proof-of-concepts, mockups, and working demos so engineering starts from something concrete, not a document

• Work daily with the Romania engineering team: sprint planning, backlog grooming, unblocking decisions, and keeping delivery honest

• Translate business and customer needs into requirements engineers can build against — and translate engineering realities back to stakeholders

• Partner with your US-based manager on strategy, with enough async overlap to stay tightly aligned (some late-afternoon/evening calls expected)

• Define success metrics for what you ship and follow through on whether it worked

• Talk to customers and internal teams to keep the roadmap grounded in real problems, not assumptions

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 in a senior or lead capacity, ideally on B2B or enterprise SaaS

• A technical background — you've written code, worked hands-on with data, or built software before moving into product. You can prototype your own ideas with scripts, SQL, APIs, or modern AI-assisted tools. We don't need you fluent in Kubernetes; we need you able to turn a concept into something clickable

• Enough technical depth to hold your own in architecture discussions and understand the trade-offs engineers raise — production code stays with engineering, but nothing they say should be a black box to you

• A track record of shipping: products you've owned that made it to customers and delivered measurable results

• Strong written and spoken English — most of your communication with leadership will be written and async

• Experience working across time zones with distributed teams, or the judgment and self-direction to do it well

• Comfort with ambiguity — we're a growing company and the person in this seat helps define how product gets done here

• Healthcare, health tech, or other regulated-industry experience

• Exposure to AI/ML products — how they're scoped, evaluated, and measured

• A CS degree or prior engineering role before moving into product

• Experience as the product voice embedded with an engineering team while leadership sits elsewhere

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package, including:

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• Generous paid time off

• Opportunities for professional growth and development
