About The Position

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead the product vision, strategy, and delivery for our BRT Middleware and Developer Tools portfolio — including the BRT App Platform, Universal Router, and other shared services / capabilities. This is an individual contributor role requiring a rare combination of technical depth and business knowledge: you will partner with engineering leads to translate user/ customer outcomes into working software, while maintaining a sharp focus on the developer experience. Act as the connective tissue between business strategy and engineering execution — turning user insights into validated, build-ready work, and shipping products that meet measurable outcomes. We are committed to delivering value to our customers. Our culture of learning ensures our people are our greatest asset.

At least 2 years in a technical product management or platform leadership role.
Consistent track record of defining and delivering a roadmap with different priorities across multiple partners.
Experience writing clear, developer-ready requirements, acceptance criteria, and user stories.
Strong analytical abilities — comfort with data, metrics, and structured experimentation.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical concepts for business audiences and vice versa.
Ability to build positive relationships and influence engineering, architecture, and business teams.
