Job Description
Are you a rockstar developer/architect with a vision for how things SHOULD be built?
We believe some of the best Technical Product Managers come from strong technical developers who jump from coding a product to defining a product. If you are a technical hotshot and have ever wanted to have more influence on the important decisions of a product’s design, Crossover is a unique opportunity for you. Why? Because we build software “By Developers, for Developers” and this means your strong technical skills can be used to define a product that you will be excited to use yourself and have passion to build. This role is also a great “entry level” for developers with no formal Product Management experience but pays $50/hr and will provide you structure and training for success as a product manager.
Are you a great Technical Product Manager looking for the next big thing?
Crossover is one of the most exciting companies you could imagine for Technical Product Managers. This is a technical role defining products to solve important challenges in the software development process itself. You will be working on simple solutions to hard problems, leveraging libraries/tools wherever possible, and working with smart people from around the globe. We provide a structure and training to maximize your success as a product manager and offer a growth path of product management roles that give you increasing levels of responsibility and compensation. If you want to work on the “cutting edge” of software development problems, take your career into a path of leadership and increased responsibility, work with great people, and make $50/hr full-time, you should apply today.
Responsibilities of the Role
- As a Technical Product Manager, your core responsibility is to take the big ideas from Product Management Leadership and break them down into meaningful “bite-size” chunks for Engineering.
- We are relying on you to take a large release specification and create milestones that can be delivered in a 1-2 week Agile process.
- Good milestone specifications will make clear technical decisions and remove any ambiguity that a development team would have when building the spec - that is why we staff with strong software developers who have been on the other side of the table!
- Finally, as the owner for the milestones of your product, you will be ultimately responsible for reviewing what the engineering team has actually built and making the final call on whether it meets your specifications or requires additional work.
