Execution & Delivery

• Partner with engineering, design, and operations teams to deliver features end-to-end

• Lead backlog prioritization, sprint planning, and release execution

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Deep customer empathy, especially for developers and technical users

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear product direction

Technical Expertise

• Experience with web service APIs (REST, webhooks, event-driven architectures)

• Familiarity with real-time communications systems

• Working knowledge of telecom technologies such as:

• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

• VoIP networking concepts (latency, jitter, call flows)

• Session Border Controllers (SBCs) and call routing architectures (nice to have)

Experience

• 5+ years of product management experience (preferably in APIs, communications, or SaaS platforms)

• Experience working with engineering teams on highly technical products

• Background in telecom, CPaaS, or developer platforms is strongly preferred

Bonus Points:

• Experience with contact center platforms, AI voice agents, or conversational AI

• Familiarity with competitors such as Twilio or other CPaaS providers
