Search Atlas

Search Atlas | Product Engineer (Product Manager role, not a Full-stack role) | REMOTE (anywhere, EST hours) | Full-time contractor | $23-$34 USD/hour | https://careers.searchatlas.com/jobs/599248-product-engineer-pm
We're ~160 people, fully remote, building an AI marketing platform. Our main product is OTTO, which runs a site's SEO on its own - it reads live search data and pushes the technical and on-page fixes itself, nobody queues them up. Around that we've got ad automation for Google and Meta, GBP management for multi-location brands, content gen, and LLM visibility tracking (whether ChatGPT and co are citing you). Autotrader, Hyundai, P&G, Vendasta are some of our customers.
Work happens in pods, 1 PM and 2-4 engineers. You own your pod's roadmap and ship it with them, no veteran PM signing off on your specs first. That's the part most PM roles won't hand you.
Looking for 3+ years PM in B2B SaaS with an actual technical background - eng or QA before PM, or a PM who's been getting into the codebase themselves. You should be able to read Python and TS, write your own SQL, find your way around an API, and not need an engineer to tell you what a stack trace says. We're Django on the back, React/Next on the front. QA is yours end to end including release sign-off, people tend to underestimate that bit. And you're already using Claude Code or similar daily, not "open to it".
A few notes before you apply:
- Experience: we're looking for people with a few years of hands-on product or engineering work behind them. The role is autonomous from the first week, so we need you ready to take the wheel.
- Recruiting agencies: we hire in-house and manage every application ourselves, so there's no need to send candidates or reach out about partnerships. Thank you for understanding!
- If your stack matches, please do reach out. Django/DRF/Celery/Postgres with React/Next, Python automation work around SEO: if that's your day-to-day and you're using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, whatever you like) in your real workflow, I want to hear from you. Don't talk yourself out of it because the title isn't an exact fit; tell me what you've built.
Recruitment process is screen with me, a take-home that runs about 75 mins, technical round with one of our senior PMs, then a call with our Director of Product (who you'd report to). I usually come back to people within 2 business days.
Our ATS forces us to list specific ywhere as long as you can do EST
hours, so apply even if yours isn't
Apply at the link and mention HN somewhere, in your pitch or wherever it fits. [email protected] if you need me, though the link's faster.
P.S: Not a PM, or the PM role isn't quite your thing? Have a look at everything else we have open at https://careers.searchatlas.com and apply directly to the role that suits you best (preferred route). If you're not sure which one that is, email me with a short line on what you do and I'll point you to the right one.
