Senior Technical Product Manager

Senior Technical Product Manager

About partao

About the Role

What You Will Own

Product

• Own one or more product areas across the partao platform - likely a mix of customer-facing surfaces (search, fitment, checkout, account) and the supplier / catalog side that powers them.
• Translate business goals into a credible product roadmap, with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and kill criteria defined before building.
• Discover, frame and prioritise problems worth solving. Talk to customers, dig into data, and pressure-test your own assumptions.
• Write specs that engineers actually want to build from - outcome-driven, with sharp acceptance criteria and the technical context engineers need.

Technical depth

• Work side-by-side with engineering on architecture decisions - system design, data modelling, integration boundaries, performance trade-offs.
• Read the code. You do not need to ship pull requests, but you do need to be able to open the repo, follow how something is implemented, and have an informed opinion about whether a proposed approach is the right one.
• Hold the bar on technical quality: observability, error budgets, security and platform health are first-class concerns, not someone else's problem.

AI-augmented requirements & architecture

• Use the Claude Code harness as your primary requirements environment. Point it at the codebase, explore how the current system behaves, and turn that understanding into well-structured Jira tickets - directly grounded in the code.
• Run architecture working sessions with engineering inside the same harness. Use AI to compare options, generate diagrams, surface risks and converge on an architecture plan that everyone - product, engineering and the CTO can stand behind.
• Automate the boring parts of PM work: backlog grooming, ticket enrichment, cross-linking Confluence pages, drafting stakeholder updates, summarising customer feedback.
• Build and improve internal skills, prompts and playbooks so that the rest of the product and engineering team can work the same way.

• Partner with engineering leads, designers, marketing, operations and our suppliers to ship outcomes.
• Communicate clearly with non-technical and technical stakeholders. 
• Coach and raise the bar of the people around you. 

Requirements

• 5+ years as a product manager, with at least 2 of those years in a clearly technical product role (TPM, platform PM, infra/data PM, developer-tools PM, or similar).
• Strong technical fluency. You can read code in at least one modern stack, reason about system design, and have an informed view on databases, APIs, queues, caching and frontend/back-end trade-offs. Bonus if you have shipped code professionally in the past.
• E-commerce, marketplace or high-volume consumer product experience. You understand catalog, search, checkout, payments and operational realities.
• Hands-on with AI tooling. You already use coding agents and LLM-based tools as part of your daily workflow. You have an opinion about where they help, where they don't, and how to make them part of a team's operating model.
• Excellent written communication.
• Comfort with ambiguity and ownership. 
• Remote-ready. You can run async, take initiative across time zones, and treat written communication as a first-class skill.

Bonus Points

• Experience building or maintaining internal AI tooling - custom Claude Code skills, plugins, prompts, agent harnesses, evaluation harnesses, etc.
• Background in automotive, parts, fitment data, PIM/MDM, or other catalog-heavy domains.
• Experience with Magento and/or Next.js codebases.
• Track record of mentoring or leading other PMs.
• Comfortable presenting at engineering all-hands and writing for a technical audience.

What We Offer

• A senior, autonomous role with direct access to the CTO and the rest of the leadership team.
• A genuine seat at the table where the AI-native way of building product is being defined.
• A fully remote setup. 
• Clear path for growth as the company scales.
• Modern stack, modern tools, modern decision-making. We are not afraid to throw out yesterday's process if a better one exists today.
