Technical Product Manager

We’re looking for an experienced Technical Product Manager to own our Jobs platform and take its capabilities to the next level. Your responsibilities would span the entire pipeline from ingestion, cleansing, and indexing of jobs as they come in; through searching and matching for both users in real-time and offline notifications; to providing front-end product interfaces to our web property product managers. All of this needs to happen at scale across our ecosystem of many millions of jobs and job seekers.

This is an interdisciplinary role emphasizing breadth and orchestration across architecture, data engineering and science, development, analytics, and product management. A technical background is desirable and we expect a firm grasp of technical capabilities and concepts. You’ll at the very least be able to ‘read API’.  However, more important is the ability to work with multiple teams to come up with a mix that works - and works well - for the end user. Key skills here are a strong analytical bent of mind for defining key metrics/benchmarks and measuring at scale, as well as the ability to hone in on the individual job seeker and answer the right questions: is her need being met? If not, how can we improve?
