Product Leadership · Technical
A technical product manager who speaks fluent engineering — for API, platform and data products where the hard part is under the hood.
A technical product manager who bridges engineering and product for API, platform and data-heavy products — turning complex technical work into a clear, prioritised roadmap.
Who this is for
The problem
Requirements lose meaning in translation, and both sides end up frustrated with the result.
Plans built without understanding the stack collide with debt, dependencies and scale the moment they hit engineering.
Invisible foundational work loses every fight with shiny features — until it breaks.
What you get
Built with the stack in mind, so plans survive contact with reality.
Requirements engineers can build from without a dozen clarifying meetings.
Foundational work weighed honestly against features, with the tradeoff made explicit.
Someone who can hold both the product and the architecture in view and call it.
How it works
Get deep enough into the architecture to make credible product calls.
Turn goals into technical initiatives, dependencies and tradeoffs.
Rank the work together, so the plan is one engineering owns too.
Instrument what matters and use it to steer the next decision.
Deliverables
A technical PM can engage deeply with the how, not just the what — reasoning about architecture, APIs, data and tradeoffs well enough to make credible product decisions and earn engineering trust.
I am not there to write production code. I have an engineering background, which means I can read it, reason about it, and have a real technical conversation — which is what the role actually needs.
Yes — that is the point. Most of the value comes from being the person who can sit with engineering, understand the constraints, and turn them into a product plan everyone believes.
Anything where the hard part is under the hood: APIs, platforms, developer tools, data and ML products, and integrations-heavy B2B software.
An engineering manager owns how the team builds and grows. A technical PM owns what gets built and why. We work closely, but the responsibilities are distinct and complementary.
Book a call to talk through your platform, API or data product and where it is stuck.
