protege - Technical Product Manager, Data Ingestion & Quality
Requirements
• 4–7 years of PM experience where the core product was a data pipeline, data quality system, or data ingestion platform — you’ve owned the "raw data in, trusted data out" problem before • Hands-on technical depth — you can write SQL, read pipeline logs, spot a schema mismatch, and understand the tradeoffs in a data validation architecture; you look at data directly to verify things are working, not just at metrics • Experience with external data — you’ve worked on a product that ingested messy, inconsistently formatted data from third-party partners and had to make it trustworthy; you know what that problem actually feels like • Build-versus-partner judgment — you’ve made vendor decisions in a fast-moving technical domain; you know how to evaluate a tool against requirements that will change, and how to structure relationships that preserve flexibility • Cross-functional credibility — you’ll be writing requirements that multiple engineering teams and vertical PMs depend on; you can hold a technical conversation and a product conversation in the same meeting • Experience with data quality frameworks, metadata standards, or catalog tooling, including dbt, Great Expectations, data contracts, or similar • Familiarity with de-identification approaches for sensitive data — PHI, PII, or confidential enterprise data • Background in healthcare data operations, financial data infrastructure, or any domain where data quality has real downstream consequences • Exposure to ML training pipelines or AI data workflows, where data fitness affects model outcomes • Experience with data governance strategies • What this is not • This is not a role for someone who has primarily owned data products from the customer side — analytics dashboards, BI tooling, or data visualization. The product here is the pipeline and the infrastructure, not the interface on top of it. If you haven't actually dug into raw data files to find out why a pipeline produced the wrong output, this is probably not the right fit. • Pass the Loved Ones’ Test • We act with integrity and do the right thing — especially when it’s hard and no one is watching. • Always Find a Way • We are resourceful, resilient builders who solve hard problems and push through obstacles. • Go Fast and Grow Fast • Velocity matters. We move with urgency, learn quickly, and continuously improve as individuals and as a company. • Practice Kindness and Candor • We communicate directly and respectfully, building trust through honest feedback and genuine care for one another. • Deliver Together • We win as one team. Collaboration, accountability, and shared ownership drive our success. • Own the Outcome. Hone the Craft. • We take pride in our work, sweat the details, and continuously raise the bar for excellence.
