About the company
Our client is a fast-growing technology company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Take ownership of a core internal platform area, guiding it from early experiments through to a dependable production system. The work blends hands-on prototyping with product direction, in close partnership with operations, engineering and research colleagues.
What you'll do
- Define the strategy and roadmap for your product area, from early prototypes to production systems running at scale.
- Create first versions yourself with queries, scripts, dashboards and simple prototypes, then hand off to engineering to scale.
- Convert emerging customer needs into clear workflows, requirements and project plans.
- Partner with operations, engineering and research teams to carry new systems from concept to launch.
- Rely on data to make decisions and monitor throughput, quality and cost.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Roughly 2 to 8 years in product management, technical program management, entrepreneurship, customer-facing engineering or a technical operations role.
- A blend of technical and operational experience; a career in only product management or only software engineering is not the right match.
- A bachelor's degree in computer science or a related technical discipline.
- Strong SQL skills and comfort delivering a working early-stage version of a tool without help.
- A history of creating your own internal tooling to tame complex operational workflows, whether at a startup, a consultancy or an operations team.
- Recent experience at a high-growth startup or a leading technology company.
- Solid product instincts and an easy working relationship with engineers and researchers.
- Willingness to work on-site in one of the two listed metropolitan areas; relocation support is not offered.
