Walker Digital Table Systems - Technical Product Manager

Description :

About the Role :

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager who is familiar with software engineering concepts and can work hands-on with tech teams to build platform capabilities, API integrations, and backend systems. If you love turning technical requirements into well-scoped user stories and can drive product development from a technical lens, we want to hear from you. As a Technical Product Manager, you will play a crucial role in shaping how our platform evolves to support growing product lines, global integrations, and an API-first architecture.

Key Responsibilities :

- Own the platform and integration roadmap, with a focus on backend services, APIs and system tools.

- Collaborate with engineering leads and architects to translate high-level platform goals into detailed user stories, technical specs, and clear acceptance criteria.

- Work directly with developers to define and deliver API endpoints and service integrations.

- Manage end-to-end delivery : from backlog grooming, sprint planning, and technical grooming to final UAT and production readiness.

- Interface with internal stakeholders (frontend teams, devops, QA, product support) to ensure seamless implementation of technical capabilities.

- Drive standardization, reusability, and scalability in the platform through thoughtful product requirements.

- Review API contracts, payload structures, and integration flows; contribute to API documentation.

- Identify bottlenecks, edge cases, or dependencies early by proactively engaging with dev and QA.

- Perform UAT for backend and API features; use tools like Postman or Swagger to validate API behaviour and data responses.

- Track technical debt, participate in architectural discussions, and influence long-term technical direction from a product standpoint.

Technical Skills & Tools :

- Strong understanding of REST APIs, microservices architecture, integration patterns, and backend systems.

- Experience writing and managing stories in JIRA, with technical documentation in Confluence.

- Familiar with API testing tools like Postman or Swagger.

- Good understanding of JSON, data formats, authentication methods and common backend terminologies.

- Able to read and interpret API documentation, log outputs, and system flows.

- Awareness of development tools like Git, CI/CD pipelines, log monitoring, and performance tracking is a plus.

Nice to Have :

- Prior experience working on platform teams or with developer-facing products.

- Exposure to cloud platforms such as AWS and understanding of DevOps workflows.

- Familiarity with tools like Figma or Lucid chart for architecture diagrams and flow visualization.
