This role requires a strong technical background, ideally with software engineering experience, to deeply understand APIs, architecture, and developer workflows. The Product Manager will work closely with the founder and engineering team to define product strategy, gather user insights, and drive feature development. Key responsibilities include defining product requirements, collaborating with cross-functional teams (engineering, marketing, sales), and contributing to go-to-market efforts. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, possesses clear and structured thinking, and has a builder's mentality, ready to make a significant impact in a fast-growing startup environment.

About Stainless

We have raised over $35 million from a16z, Sequoia, and founders/C-levels from Stripe, Datadog, Segment, Linear, and more.
We are headquartered in NYC, just west of SoHo, and are a team of ~60 strong expecting to double in the next ~9 to 12 months.
About The Role
We're hiring our first Product Manager at Stainless.
We’ve built a strong technical foundation and are seeing real traction with customers. Now we’re looking for someone to help scale the product thoughtfully. As the first PM, you’ll work directly with the founder and engineering team to shape what we build, how we build it, and when.
We’re looking for someone who's very technical and loves digging into real customer needs and translating them into high-leverage product decisions. You'll have a ton of ownership and impact from day one.
What You’ll Do

  • Work closely with engineering to scope and ship features quickly and thoughtfully
  • Talk regularly with users, understand their workflows, and turn insights into product improvements
  • Define product requirements and drive clarity across teams
  • Contribute to positioning, launches, and go-to-market alongside marketing and sales

Who You Are

  • You have a software engineering background and a strong technical foundation — enough to deeply understand APIs, architecture, and developer workflows
  • Clear, structured thinking and excellent communication skills
  • You’ve started something before: a business, a club, a nonprofit, a student org; anything that shows you’re a builder at heart.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and a desire to help build from the ground up

Benefits

  • We offer competitive salary and generous equity grants.
  • Great healthcare coverage options (e.g., fully covered platinum plans).
  • Paid commuter benefits & similar.
  • Paid team lunch/meals during workdays.
  • Flexible PTO plus 3 weeks of company-wide vacation a year (2 weeks in December, 1 week at the end of the summer).
  • Flexible WFH and 1 month fully remote per year ("remote February").
