Job description

At Captain Data, we believe in empowering product-minded people to take ownership of both technical challenges and product decisions. As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll have a direct impact on the design, vision, and delivery of our platform, shaping the next generation of automation and data-driven tools.

You’ll work closely with our engineering, sales, and customer teams to define product specs, plan sprints, and ensure that what we deliver truly meets user needs. You’re not just here to manage a backlog – you’ll be part of the full product cycle, from ideation to release, validating with customers along the way.

Because our product is API-first, it’s important that you understand how APIs work and can think like a developer. You don’t have to code daily, but you should be able to reason about APIs, review payloads, and design features that make sense from a developer experience (DX) perspective.

What you’ll be doing 🚀

  • Drafting PRDs and technical product specs for new features.

  • Bridging engineering, sales, and customers to ensure alignment.

  • Creating and managing issues, sprint planning, and release cycles.

  • Testing and validating releases to ensure quality.

  • Anticipating customer needs and gathering feedback directly.

  • Shaping an API-first developer experience with clear vision and empathy for end-users.

This job is for you if… 🦄

  • You have experience writing specs and managing product delivery cycles.

  • You’re technical enough to understand Node.js/TypeScript, REST APIs, and data pipelines.

  • You’re passionate about building features that solve real problems for users.

  • You can collaborate seamlessly with engineers, sales, and business stakeholders.

  • You think like a builder: moving fast from concept to production while keeping quality in mind.

  • You’re motivated by ownership: you want to own the product direction as much as the execution.

Nice-to-have tools you’ll encounter 🛠

  • TypeScript (NodeJS) for backend services

  • Fastify (Node) & FastAPI (Python) for APIs

  • Angular for the front-end

  • Google Cloud Platform for deployment and infrastructure

Rough time split

  • ~70% product management (specs, planning, testing, customer validation)

  • ~30% technical/product design (understanding APIs, reviewing feasibility, light coding if you want)


Preferred experience

We are meant to work together if you are… 👪

  • Comfortable owning both the product vision and technical feasibility of new features.

  • Able to translate customer needs into clear product specs and work with engineers to bring them to life.

  • Excited by automation and efficiency – you naturally look for ways to streamline processes and improve workflows.

  • Used to wearing multiple hats: jumping between product discussions, customer validation, and sprint planning.

  • Always thinking about user impact and developer experience (DX) when designing APIs or product flows.

  • Technical enough to understand APIs, data pipelines, and system constraints, even if you won’t spend most of your time coding.

  • Familiar with modern product delivery practices (sprints, releases, CI/CD, testing) and comfortable collaborating with engineers on these.

If you’re up for a multi-faceted challenge where you’ll influence both the product direction and the execution strategy, this role is for you.

What you’ll be working on… 🔥

  • Defining product specs and PRDs in collaboration with our CTO, engineers, and customers.

  • Leading feature design & iteration, from concept to release, ensuring alignment with user needs.

  • Owning product decisions that shape our API services, automation framework, and developer experience.

  • Organizing and running sprints, testing, and release processes to keep delivery smooth.

  • Partnering cross-functionally on product strategy, UX/UI, and technical feasibility.

  • Collecting and integrating customer feedback into product development.

  • Ensuring releases are tested, validated, and communicated properly, with a focus on reliability and adoption.


Recruitment process

  • Step 1 – Intro Call (15–30 min with CEO)

  • Step 2 – Product Case (Take-home, 1–2h max)

  • Step 3 – Deep Dive Interview (1h with CTO or Lead Engineer)

  • Step 4 – Product & Customer Thinking (1h with CEO or Sales/CS)

  • Step 5 – Team Fit & Culture (Final catch-up, 30–45 min)
