At Stack Overflow, we are obsessed with serving developers. Whether we’re helping developers get answers to their questions or find a new job, we build products that make millions of developers’ lives better every day. As a Product Manager for Stack Overflow Careers, you’ll work with our passionate Developer, Design, Marketing, Sales and Community teams, bridging the gap between the technical and business worlds. You’ll spend most of your time building the product that employers interact with: posting jobs, searching profiles, and managing their recruiting pipeline. While the product’s end users are employers, we believe the policies we put in place should be reflective of an outstanding developer experience. If candidates are deliriously happy on our platform, employers will be as well.
You’ll have the opportunity to do a lot. You can expect during the first year:
First Month: Get onboarded and brought up to speed on our current roadmap. You’ll spend a lot of time learning about our products, building rapport with the product, marketing, community and sales teams, and building small features.
Next 3 Months: Start taking on projects of your own from our roadmap. You’ll take an idea and turn it into a prototype, talk to the community on Meta, pitch your project to the rest of the company, and run a detailed testing plan.
Next 6 months: You can expect to being taking ownership over the employer product, Stack Overflow Careers. You’ll be involved not just in product development, but in improving on our processes and planning the roadmap for your team.
We like to work in public. Not only does that mean being open within the company about what the product team is building, we try and bring the community in as soon as we’re able. Some examples of big projects we’re working on with the community presently:

We’re looking to hire the best person wherever you are in the world. We work remotely (see https://stackoverflow.blog/2013/02/01/why-we-still-believe-in-working-remotely) so you can work from home and interact with the team over Google Hangouts and chat, usually during US or European working hours. We have offices in New York, London and Denver, so if you’re in (or want to relocate to) one of those cities you can, andour offices are awesome.
