Job Description

Senior Technical Product Manager (f/m/d) For a Hands-On Product Leader Who Understands System Architecture And Builds With Engineering Team

This role sits right at the intersection of product strategy, engineering decisions, and customer needs.
You shape what gets built, why, and how far - and you guide a small senior team in turning that into shipped software.

This is not a pure management role.
And it’s not a coding role either.

It’s a role for someone who understands systems, trade-offs, and architecture - and wants real ownership.

What we offer

• End-to-end ownership of a mission-critical analytics product
• Small, senior team with fast feedback loops and little process overhead
• High autonomy, low politics, quick decisions
• Free choice of hardware &modern technology
• Try new tools to grow and improve
• Tech-Stack:
• Hybrid setup with office in central Munich
• Beyond work: DB-Ticket, Urban Sport Club membership
• Diversity - International Team (10 Nationalities) with all genders
• 30 days of holidays

What you’ll do

• Own product direction, roadmap, and delivery end-to-end
• Translate customer and business needs into clear priorities
• Guide and work with a team of ~6 engineers
• Make architectural and technical decisions across the stack
• Stay close to implementation to ensure quality and speed
• Balance performance, scalability, and maintainability
• Extend the platform with AI-driven functionality
• Collaborate closely with the founder, sales, and customers

Mandatory for this role

• Strong hands-on experience with React, JavaScript, Node.js, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes
• Experience working on a data-heavy SaaS or analytics platform with large data volumes
• Solid understanding of system architecture, APIs, and data models
• Daily experience using Jira and Confluence in product or engineering teams
• Proven experience in a leading product or engineering role
• Ability to understand and balance the needs of customers, sales, and engineering to build a strong product roadmap
• Clear and confident technical and non-technical communication skills
• English (C1+), written and spoken
• German is a plus, but not mandatory

This role is a great fit if you are

• A Senior Technical Product Owner / Product Manager with engineering roots
• A former engineer or tech lead who moved into product leadership

You don’t need to code every day, but you must understand the codebase, system design, and technical trade-offs well enough to make independent decisions and guide the team.
