Product Manager

• Set the product vision: develop a deep understanding of the competition, the customer, and the ways Skylight can help families. Use that and your creativity to propose and validate new products.
• Own the product roadmap: define the roadmap across and build features that both benefit customers and impact KPIs. You will ruthlessly prioritize features with a nose for value and scope a minimum lovable product to deliver features on time.
• Collaborate cross-functionally: work across engineering, design, and marketing teams to take these features to market with smooth rollouts and high feature adoption.
• Set and assess progress rigorously: you will set KPIs, monitor performance, and analyze data to deeply understand our users and the impact your product initiatives have. Your insights will drive future developments and organize the team around your strategy.

• Our ideal candidate is a seasoned backend engineer with deep experience building reliable, scalable systems, and a passion for creating products and features that really matter to customers
• You know how to design and maintain robust APIs, optimize backend infrastructure, and work closely with not only engineers from other stacks, but also cross-functional partners, from retail to customer support to data.
• We're looking for someone who loves finding simple, straightforward technical solutions to complex problems.
• The types of projects you take on, how you’re placed within our org, your title and compensation, etc., will be determined by your experience, expertise, areas of passion, and how those align with Skylight’s needs.
• We love matching the right people with the right work. Experience with our stack (Ruby on Rails, JavaScript/TypeScript Lambdas, modern Rails/Ruby versions, and fast, well-tested applications) is important, and our bottom-line requirements are simple: a strong engineering foundation, a desire to own meaningful systems, and a commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes.
