The ideal candidate combines strong software technical knowledge with business judgment and the ability to collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines.
Success in this role means delivering a cohesive software product experience across Taara's customer-facing applications and embedded systems. You will define clear product requirements, identify dependencies and integration risks, and partner with engineering to prioritize features, reliability improvements, and customer-impacting issues.

- Help shape and validate analysis, reporting, and visualization features, including exploration of AI-assisted workflows where appropriate.
- Conduct market and competitive analysis to identify customer needs, evaluate software capabilities, and inform product features and roadmap priorities.
- Monitor product usage and feedback to inform iteration and continuous improvement.
- Define and monitor product success metrics using customer feedback, usage data, and telemetry to assess software quality, reliability, and customer experience improvements.

- Features ship in a thoughtful sequence aligned to real user needs and operational priorities.
- Customer feedback and usage insights meaningfully influence product decisions.
- User experience improvements are measurable and reflected in reduced friction, faster adoption, and clearer workflows across the software products.
What you should have:
- 5+ years of product management experience delivering technically complex software products, with demonstrated ability to work closely with software engineering teams on architecture, system dependencies, and product requirements.
- Experience translating customer and technical requirements into clear product specifications, user stories, and prioritized backlogs, with an understanding of software integrations and system-level dependencies.
- Strong technical understanding of software products, with the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams on technical requirements, integrations, and dependencies.
- Ability to conduct user interviews and synthesize insights into clear product direction.
- Comfort working cross-functionally with engineering, UX, and customer-facing teams.
- Experience using data, feedback, or product signals to inform prioritization and iteration.
