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 very technical who loves digging into real customer needs and translating them into high-leverage product decisions. You'll have a ton of ownership and influence 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

What we’re looking for

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

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").
