Product Manager (former Developer)

We're looking for a Technical Product Manager to lead the growth of our proxy products and the optimization of our proxy networks. Unlike a traditional PM role, this position is infrastructure-heavy. The focus is on network performance, routing efficiency, and latency optimization while UI/UX come second. The "user" is often a developer or an automated system, and the "product" is a high-speed, reliable gateway to the web.

Responsibilities:

• Own and optimize the full customer journey of our proxy networks, with primary focus on performance, scalability, routing efficiency, and latency optimization.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, especially R&D for product development and enhancement
• Lead continuous improvements of proxy products, track performance KPIs and milestones
• Translate complex infrastructure requirements into clear product specifications and technical documentation.
• Ongoing communication with customers
  
  

• Experience as a Technical Product Manager with prior hands-on experience in Network Engineering, DevOps, or Backend Development
• Experience in high scale, high performance products e.g. networking, ISP, CDN’s (Cloudflare/Akamai), real time analytics/observability (Splunk, Datadog, Microsoft Eventhouse), or API-first companies
• Deep understanding of the OSI model, specifically Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) and Layer 7 (HTTP/S).
• Proxy Protocol Knowledge: Hands-on experience with SOCKS5, HTTP/S proxies, and tunneling protocols.
• Performance Monitoring: Proven track record of managing products where milliseconds matter.
• API-First Mentality: Skilled in designing and documenting RESTful APIs; treating Documentation as the "UI."
• Experience with excel/google sheets, statistical analysis and quantitative methods to measure performance.
