What We Offer
How to Apply
partao is transforming how agriculture, construction, and heavy machinery industries source essential parts. As a fast-growing B2B and B2C marketplace, we offer competitive pricing, transparent suppliers, and seamless digital ordering. We’re building a trusted, go-to platform for 50M+ long-tail industrial parts across Europe.
partao is rebuilding how the product gets built. We believe the next generation of product managers will not just write specs, they will work shoulder-to-shoulder with AI agents to explore the codebase, draft requirements, propose architectures and turn ideas into engineering-ready tickets in a fraction of the time it used to take.
We are hiring a Senior Technical Product Manager to be one of the people inventing how that actually works at Partao. You will own real product areas, and at the same time you will be deeply embedded in our AI tooling - using the Claude Code harness as a daily working environment alongside our engineers.
This is a hybrid role. Half senior product manager, half technical product owner, with a strong opinion about how AI changes the way modern product teams operate.
What Makes this Role Different
You will not just write a PRD and throw it over the wall. You will sit inside the Claude Code harness, point it at our codebase, and generate the first version of Jira tickets directly from the code that already exists.
Architecture decisions are not made for you by engineering, they are made with engineering, inside the same AI-augmented working environment. You bring product intent; engineering brings system reality; the harness helps close the gap fast.
If you love both the business side of product and the technical depth of a great TPM, and you are genuinely excited about agentic AI as a working partner, this role is built for you.
Product
- Own one or more product areas across the partao platform - likely a mix of customer-facing surfaces (search, fitment, checkout, account) and the supplier / catalog side that powers them.
- Translate business goals into a credible product roadmap, with clear hypotheses, success metrics, and kill criteria defined before building.
- Discover, frame and prioritise problems worth solving. Talk to customers, dig into data, and pressure-test your own assumptions.
- Write specs that engineers actually want to build from - outcome-driven, with sharp acceptance criteria and the technical context engineers need.
Technical depth
- Work side-by-side with engineering on architecture decisions - system design, data modelling, integration boundaries, performance trade-offs.
- Read the code. You do not need to ship pull requests, but you do need to be able to open the repo, follow how something is implemented, and have an informed opinion about whether a proposed approach is the right one.
- Hold the bar on technical quality: observability, error budgets, security and platform health are first-class concerns, not someone else's problem.
- Use the Claude Code harness as your primary requirements environment. Point it at the codebase, explore how the current system behaves, and turn that understanding into well-structured Jira tickets - directly grounded in the code.
- Run architecture working sessions with engineering inside the same harness. Use AI to compare options, generate diagrams, surface risks and converge on an architecture plan that everyone - product, engineering and the CTO can stand behind.
- Automate the boring parts of PM work: backlog grooming, ticket enrichment, cross-linking Confluence pages, drafting stakeholder updates, summarising customer feedback.
- Build and improve internal skills, prompts and playbooks so that the rest of the product and engineering team can work the same way.
Cross-functional leadership
- Partner with engineering leads, designers, marketing, operations and our suppliers to ship outcomes.
- Communicate clearly with non-technical and technical stakeholders.
- Coach and raise the bar of the people around you.
- 5+ years as a product manager, with at least 2 of those years in a clearly technical product role (TPM, platform PM, infra/data PM, developer-tools PM, or similar).
- Strong technical fluency. You can read code in at least one modern stack, reason about system design, and have an informed view on databases, APIs, queues, caching and frontend/back-end trade-offs. Bonus if you have shipped code professionally in the past.
- E-commerce, marketplace or high-volume consumer product experience. You understand catalog, search, checkout, payments and operational realities.
- Hands-on with AI tooling. You already use coding agents and LLM-based tools as part of your daily workflow. You have an opinion about where they help, where they don't, and how to make them part of a team's operating model.
- Excellent written communication.
- Comfort with ambiguity and ownership.
- Remote-ready. You can run async, take initiative across time zones, and treat written communication as a first-class skill.
- Experience building or maintaining internal AI tooling - custom Claude Code skills, plugins, prompts, agent harnesses, evaluation harnesses, etc.
- Background in automotive, parts, fitment data, PIM/MDM, or other catalog-heavy domains.
- Experience with Magento and/or Next.js codebases.
- Track record of mentoring or leading other PMs.
- Comfortable presenting at engineering all-hands and writing for a technical audience.
- A senior, autonomous role with direct access to the CTO and the rest of the leadership team.
- A genuine seat at the table where the AI-native way of building product is being defined.
- A fully remote setup.
- Clear path for growth as the company scales.
- Modern stack, modern tools, modern decision-making. We are not afraid to throw out yesterday's process if a better one exists today.
