At Pusher, we’re looking for someone who has a deep passion for developer products. We are on a mission to help developers take over the world.
We divide our engineering teams into small “Raiding Parties” who explore new ideas for products. We’re looking for technically-minded product managers to lead raids through customer development and eventual success as part of a larger API and developer tools portfolio we are creating.
To be considered for this role we are looking for people who are:
- Technical (You should be able to build a hacky prototype on your platform of choosing with your favourite stack)
- Love interacting with users (developers)
- Opinionated about how APIs and SDKs can be built to conform to a general set of principles
- Passionate about the primacy of developer experience as a leading indicator of success
Is this you?
We’re looking for people who can run the gamut: from seeking out problems to be solved; to articulating a potential solution; leading a small team towards an MVP; and finally evolving the product and objectively stating its success or failure.
You will be supporting the work of the teams by producing the user-facing documentation; user stories; early marketing materials; wireframing dashboard information architecture and designing user surveys.
You’ll have to be technical enough to build websites and small applications to “dog food” the products your team will be building. You’ll need enough technical credibility to guide highly technical teams.
You’ll understand and be enthusiastic about Customer Development and The Lean Startup. You’ll understand agile working practices like Scrum and Kanban. In all these things you will not be dogmatic. We’re adherents of the phrase “strong opinions, loosely held”. This role epitomises this sentiment.
