Senior Product Manager - Platform

FlowFuse is building a platform that turns field learning into reusable, solution-agnostic capabilities for enterprise management, edge and cloud deployment, industrial connectivity, and secure operations. In this role, you will own the platform end to end, translating customer and IIoT context into a clear roadmap, a high-quality backlog, and GitHub issues that engineering can execute with confidence.

Based in Oregon (onsite), you will run the day-to-day “lane” for the platform while partnering closely with Solutions Engineering to ensure customer solutions evolve into repeatable offerings. You will also bring strong product judgment for AI/ML and help define how industrial data becomes a first-class part of the platform.

What you’ll own

• Platform roadmap ownership, including vision, sequencing, prioritization, and ongoing updates.
• Backlog and prioritization that reflect real customer commitments and the needs of the IIoT domain.
• GitHub issue creation with enough clarity and standards that engineers respect and can execute directly.
• Refinement with engineering, ensuring requirements are shaped collaboratively and execution stays focused.

How you’ll work

• Run the field-to-platform loop by learning from Solutions Engineering and turning delivered work into platform capabilities.
• Keep learning quickly: build domain depth in the IIoT space and continuously deepen your understanding.
• Make industrial data first-class across modeling and contextualization needs relevant to platform reuse.
• Shape AI/ML in the platform by selecting opportunities, validating them, and setting baselines for adoption and reliability.
• Enterprise readiness as a platform goal, focused on making capabilities usable across enterprise deployments.
• Know the split and operate across responsibilities while staying aligned with engineering and product priorities.

Requirements

• Bias toward action with evidence of product craft.
• Strategic product vision and competitive foresight.
• Industrial depth, or the ability to learn hard domains quickly.
• Platform experience and fluency with engineers.
• AI/ML product judgment and fluency with AI tools.
• Spine, plus a taste for startups.
• People management experience is welcome but not required to start.
• Familiarity with Node-RED or open-source ecosystems is a plus.
• Experience level fit: a mid-level PM ready to own an area, a senior PM moving back toward hands-on craft, or someone whose sights are set on Director.
• Start in the same seat: owning an area and doing the work yourself (baseline is non-negotiable).

First 90 days

• Day 30: Understand the platform, backlog, and biggest customer commitments; work daily in GitHub, Slack, Asana, and Claude alongside Google Workspace.
• Day 30: Attend refinements and write tickets to the expected standard.
• Day 30: Meet Solutions Engineering, sales, and marketing to understand ownership and workflows.
• Day 60: Own the platform backlog and publish a prioritized, actionable roadmap.
• Day 60: Build engineer trust in your tickets so they stop asking what you meant.
• Day 60: Stand up the field-to-platform intake process with Solutions Engineering and make real calls on what becomes platform.
• Day 90: Ship a multi-week platform effort that solves a real customer problem and is reused beyond one deployment.
• Day 90: Set baselines for reuse, time-to-value, adoption, and reliability; identify the first AI/ML opportunities with a validation plan.
• Day 90: Become the person everyone goes to for the platform’s state.

First year

• Platform capabilities shipped and reused across multiple customer deployments without being rebuilt in the field.
• Field-developed solutions converted into repeatable enterprise offerings.
• Measurable reductions in onboarding effort, deployment effort, and solution delivery time against your 90-day baselines.
• A credible long-term platform strategy alongside an always execution-ready near-term roadmap.

Day-to-day partnership

• Work closely with Solutions Engineering, who own customer solutions, industry-specific applications, and solution packaging.
• Collaborate with the CTO on technical direction and the Node-RED ecosystem.
• Reporting line: VP of Engineering and Product.

Tools and technologies

• FlowFuse, Node-RED, GitHub, Slack, Asana, Claude, Google Workspace, Fathom
• AI/ML, LLMs, Hubspot, PostHog, Google Meet

Benefits

• Remote-only and async-first.
• Compensation.
• Unlimited paid time off.

Additional logistics

• Engineering is mostly in Europe; customer-facing teams are in the US and Europe.
• This role is open to candidates in the United States or Europe.
• Working hours are flexible, with appreciation for overlap with West Coast US.
• They will hire almost anywhere legally (a few countries excepted).
• Compensation is a competitive base calibrated to your level, plus meaningful equity.
