To empower agents, renters, owners. And bring transparency to the process.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of Technical Product Management in a SaaS environment, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead role
- Proven track record of grooming and delivering complex technical features end-to-end
- Exceptional verbal and written communication, able to tailor messaging for engineers, leadership, and external partners
- Hands-on experience with Postman (or equivalent), browser dev tools, and SQL (PostgreSQL preferred)
- Deep understanding of REST API design, microservices architecture, and relational database principles
- Strong facilitation skills: sprint planning, retrospectives, and cross-team workshops
- Based in the greater-Austin area with the ability to work in the office 3 days per week
What the job involves
- You’ll be our first Senior Technical Product Manager, you’ll own the end-to-end delivery of critical features, partnering deeply with engineering, design, and QA teams
- You’re equally comfortable debating system architecture or data models and distilling those discussions into razor-sharp user stories
- Your exceptional communication skills will ensure every stakeholder, from C-suite to front-line engineer, shares a common vision
- Craft and maintain a long-term product roadmap aligned with company goals
- Balance quick wins against foundational work (scalability, reliability) with clear business impact
- Lead deep-dive grooming sessions, converting complex technical conversations into concise, testable tickets
- Strip away unnecessary detail while retaining all requirements needed for high-quality deliverables
- Serve as the primary liaison between engineering, design, sales, and executives—translating technical nuances into clear business language and vice versa
- Run effective demos, sprint reviews, and stakeholder syncs that leave everyone unambiguous on progress and next steps
- Define, test, and troubleshoot RESTful APIs in Postman; dive into browser DevTools (Network tab, Console, performance) to pinpoint front-end/back-end issues
- Collaborate on database schema design, indexing strategies, and high-level system architecture with PostgreSQL and service-oriented best practices
- Coach junior PMs on technical scoping, ticket writing, and effective stakeholder communication
- Continuously refine our agile processes—introducing patterns that boost throughput and reduce rework
- Partner with analytics to define success metrics, craft SQL-based analyses, and run A/B tests
- Leverage telemetry and usage data to iterate rapidly and validate assumptions
Our take
Sunroom Rentals is a mobile-first digital marketplace that was created to help busy estate agents optimise their efficiency. It allows prospective renters to view and lease properties virtually, and helps property owners and managers to boost their profitability.
The founding team saw success with their previous delivery app Favor, and applied a similar "start-local" strategy. This approach saw the company begin by securing strong uptake in Austin, before expanding to other cities in Texas, and eventually cultivating a presence in many other states.
With an impressive start and steady expansion, Sunroom Rentals seems to have made a good name for itself. Though there are plenty of competitors in the space, it is also a growing market, so there should be ample opportunity for the company to continue to grow.
