Senior Product Manager - Code Translation & Developer Tooling

Code Metal is hiring a Senior Product Manager to own product strategy and execution for a core outcome area focused on translating, modernizing, prototyping, and porting code. The role partners with customers, engineering, UX, and growth teams to turn technical capabilities and customer needs into prioritized products.

Responsibilities:

• Own the roadmap for your outcome area end-to-end, from discovery through delivery and iteration, translating customer pain into prioritized product decisions
• Conduct customer discovery with technical stakeholders: engineers, architects, tech leads, and solutions engineering
• Quickly ramp into unfamiliar technical domains (language semantics, toolchains, hardware constraints) and synthesize what you learn into clear product direction
• Work side-by-side with Engineering to understand technical tradeoffs, shape implementation approaches, and make informed prioritization decisions throughout development
• Build and maintain a smaller roadmap that feeds into the broader platform roadmap
• Write clear PRDs that turn ambiguity into a specific plan
• Make thoughtful tradeoffs between customer value, technical complexity, and speed, and prioritize ruthlessly
• Represent your outcome area in cross-functional and customer-facing conversations, communicating decisions and rationale to technical and non-technical audiences alike
• Grow your charter over time — starting with a defined subset of pipelines/scenarios and expanding into adjacent ones as you demonstrate depth

Requirements:

• Experience owning software products from discovery through launch in a technical B2B, enterprise, or platform environment
• 5+ years of Product Management experience building technical software products
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn new industries, technologies, and customer domains without requiring deep prior subject-matter expertise
• Strong customer discovery and user research skills, with experience translating insights into roadmap decisions
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where priorities evolve as new information emerges
• Comfortable engaging with technical concepts such as language semantics, toolchains, or hardware constraints
• Demonstrated MVP thinking: the ability to scope the smallest valuable slice of a problem rather than defaulting to the full solution
• Self-awareness about the edges of your own expertise, and a track record of learning new technical domains quickly
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills across executive, technical, and customer audiences
• Experience building developer tools, platform products, compilers, embedded systems, or other technically sophisticated products where the customer is often another engineer or technical team
• Experience working directly with highly technical customers, engineers, and domain experts
• Prior exposure to automotive, kernel development, aerospace, semiconductor, or regulated/safety-critical industries
• Experience bringing new products from concept through launch in early-stage or high-growth environments
