Technical Product Manager

We are the company behind CKEditor – an open-source rich text editor used by millions of people around the world. We are part of Tiugo Technologies, a family of API-first developer platforms (CKEditor, TinyMCE, ButterCMS, Uploadcare) focused on content creation and digital collaboration.

Description:

As a Technical Product Manager, you will help shape how AI becomes a real product capability across CKEditor. This role sits at the intersection of product thinking, engineering depth, and developer empathy. You’ll work closely with engineers, designers, and business stakeholders to turn AI opportunities into product decisions that are useful, scalable, and worth shipping.

When this role works well, teams move faster, product decisions get sharper, and AI capabilities feel like a real extension of the product rather than a layer added on top. You won’t just help define features. You’ll help define how we build in this space.

You’ll work more closely with the product surface: how AI shows up in editing workflows, where it saves time, how it earns user trust, and how it improves the experience for developers and end users. CKEditor AI brings AI directly into the editor through capabilities like chat, review, and translation, helping teams create and improve rich text content without leaving their workflow. You’ll work on what is one of the most advanced rich text editing platforms on the market, combining AI capabilities with real-time collaboration for products where content is core to the user experience.

If you have a stronger background in the platform layer, backend, and APIs - and would like to continue growing in that direction - take a look at our counterpart role, Technical Product Manager.

Key responsibilities:

• Help shape the product vision and roadmap for our features.

• Drive prioritization day to day: make clear tradeoffs between user value, technical complexity, speed, and quality. Keep the team focused on what matters most right now.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to translate business needs into technical requirements.

• Manage the product lifecycle from conception through release.

• Define and track product requirements, and ensure delivery of high-quality and scalable solutions.

• Coordinate with sales, marketing, and support teams to maximize product success.

To be successful in this role you need the following:

• Engineers forget you're a PM. You come from a technical background (whether that's software development or another hands-on technical role), and it shows. You can read code, hold your own in architecture discussions, and understand constraints without needing them explained twice.

• You ship, not just plan. Within 3 months, you'll be expected to be productive in the trenches. This isn't a role where strategy fills your calendar. You own the day-to-day scope and delivery alongside your engineering and design counterparts, and you move at the pace the work demands.

• You're comfortable owning hundreds of small decisions, every day. High-level strategy will be covered by product and technical leaders, with your help. But the details are yours. You'll make judgment calls constantly, and you won't wait for permission to make them.

• You take AI seriously and you lead well in high-stakes environments. AI is our top product priority right now. You understand how LLMs work, what makes a prompt engineering approach sound or fragile, and why model behavior matters to the product experience. You'll be in conversations with product leaders, technical leaders, and go-to-market teams, and you can discuss this work credibly with engineers and executives while driving clarity and momentum without formal authority.

• You communicate clearly across very different audiences, in fluent English. You can explain a technical tradeoff to a non-technical stakeholder and an AI product decision to an engineer, on the same day, without losing either audience.

Experience that helps:

We care more about what you've accomplished than CV line items. If you've shipped products that users and developers love, and can discuss technical tradeoffs, we want to talk regardless of your education or exact years of experience. We'd love to hear about:

• You've worked on product experiences where the interface matters as much as the model behind it: writing tools, editing workflows, review systems, or other products where users stay in flow only if the UX is fast, trustworthy, and clear.

• You've worked on enterprise-grade products where quality is non-negotiable and the details are what separate good from great.

• You understand content processes: how teams create, review, and publish content, and you can see how a product decision in an editor ripples through an entire workflow. Experience with rich text editing, document-centric products, or real-time collaboration is especially relevant.
