• Communicate product updates, prioritization decisions, and progress to cross-functional stakeholders.
• Support planning, intake, and capacity management activities for platform initiatives.
• Gather and represent feedback from internal engineering teams through interviews, surveys, office hours, and ongoing engagement.
• Partner closely with engineering teams (SRE, DevOps, Solutions Architecture) to balance product priorities with technical execution.
• Contribute to self-service and automation initiatives that reduce manual support work and improve developer efficiency.

Required Qualifications

• 1-2+ years of experience in product management or technical product ownership.
• Approximately 3 years of experience working on technical products for technical users such as engineers, developers, or IT teams.
• Experience owning and managing a product backlog in an Agile environment.
• Experience with user research, requirements gathering, and translating needs into product deliverables.
• Familiarity with product metrics and measuring adoption or outcomes.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in any field; a technical degree is preferred but not required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with developer tools, internal platforms, or infrastructure-related products.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, DevOps, or SRE concepts.
• Exposure to automation, self-service platforms, or workflow tooling.
• Technical background or prior hands-on experience working closely with engineers.
• Experience contributing to developer experience or productivity initiatives.
• Product management certifications or formal product training.
• Experience in a consumer-scale digital platform environment such as quick service restaurant, retail, or high-transaction systems.
• Familiarity with restaurant technology or Point of Sale (POS) systems.

Key Competencies

• A service orientation, treating engineering teams as customers of the platform.
• The ability to communicate prioritization clearly so stakeholders understand what is being built, what is not, and why.
• The capacity to share knowledge freely, create learning opportunities, and improve the surrounding team.
• An aptitude for earning credibility through consistent delivery and clear communication.
• A results-focused approach with ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
