The role

This is an exciting time to join Remote as a Senior Product Manager, APIs, an IC role for someone with genuinely high technical depth - trading management scope for depth. You'll partner with your Engineering Team Lead and Staff Engineers on architecture and technical direction as a peer, not an observer, forming your own technical opinions and prototyping to answer questions rather than scheduling a meeting about them.

Your mission is to own your product area end to end: not just the software, but the full experience customers and internal teams get from it, including the API surface other teams and integrators build on.

What you'll do

  • Technical Direction: Partner with the Engineering Team Lead and Staff Engineers on architecture, design quality, and technical direction. Form independent, well-reasoned technical opinions and hold your own in design reviews as a peer.
  • Build to Learn: Prototype and write code to de-risk ideas, answer open questions, or ship small pieces yourself rather than defaulting to a meeting.
  • API & Integration Quality: Own products where APIs are the product surface. Design contracts, guide versioning and backwards compatibility, and own the developer experience for teams and systems integrating with your product.
  • Root Cause Problem-Solving: Sit with the specialists and ops teams doing the manual work, observe real workflows, and prioritize based on where the pain actually is. When systems disagree, fix the underlying cause rather than building a better reconciliation report.
  • End-to-End Ownership: Own adoption and hypercare, not just delivery - including whether what you shipped is actually being used months later.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with payroll and tax experts on research and requirements, convene across teams, and onboard others into context generously.
  • Clear Communication: Document decisions and reasoning in writing (specs, Looms, proposals) so your thinking is inspectable and can be challenged.

How you'll work

  • You'll report to: VP of Operations
  • Location: For this position we welcome everyone to apply
  • Start date: As soon as possible

We work async at Remote which means you can plan your schedule around your life (and not around meetings).remote.com/async.

You will be empowered to take ownership and be proactive. When in doubt you will default to action instead of waiting. Your life-work balance is important and you will be encouraged to put yourself and your family first, and fit work around your needs.

If that sounds like something you want,
