Full Job Description
đź“‹ Description
- • We're hiring a Product Manager to own the supply side of Protege's data platform — the pipeline that takes raw data from a partner and turns it into something catalog-ready, trustworthy, and usable.
- • This is a horizontal platform role, not a vertical one. You own the infrastructure that makes data trustworthy enough to build products from in the first place: the validation gates, the metadata generation pipelines, the QA standards, the de-identification transformations, and the catalog-readiness criteria that let the rest of the organization actually trust what's in our catalog.
- • You'll work across healthcare, media, and any other vertical we enter. You'll write SQL, review pipeline outputs, define what "good" looks like at each stage of ingestion, and translate those standards into platform requirements that engineering can build against.
- • The supply side is where data quality is won or lost. If this layer isn't working, nothing downstream works. It's foundational, largely invisible to customers, and one of the most important things we can build.
- • Ingestion pipeline product: define the stages, validation gates, and quality checks that data passes through from partner arrival to catalog-ready; own the platform requirements that make this repeatable across modalities and verticals
- • Metadata generation: own the product decisions around what metadata gets extracted or generated at ingestion, including transcripts, tags, confidence scores, schema inference, at what threshold, and how it gets stored and surfaced
- • QA standards and tooling: define what "catalog-ready" means, build the tooling that enforces it, and get into the data directly to validate that standards are being met; you’ll run queries and review pipeline outputs, not just read dashboards
- • Cross-vertical consistency: work with vertical stakeholders to translate their "what does ready mean for our vertical" requirements into consistent platform-level standards that don’t require custom engineering per deal
🎯 Requirements
- • 4–7 years of PM experience where the core product was a data pipeline, data quality system, or data ingestion platform — you’ve owned the "raw data in, trusted data out" problem before
- • Hands-on technical depth — you can write SQL, read pipeline logs, spot a schema mismatch, and understand the tradeoffs in a data validation architecture; you look at data directly to verify things are working, not just at metrics
- • Experience with external data — you’ve worked on a product that ingested messy, inconsistently formatted data from third-party partners and had to make it trustworthy; you know what that problem actually feels like
- • Build-versus-partner judgment — you’ve made vendor decisions in a fast-moving technical domain; you know how to evaluate a tool against requirements that will change, and how to structure relationships that preserve flexibility
- • Cross-functional credibility — you’ll be writing requirements that multiple engineering teams and vertical PMs depend on; you can hold a technical conversation and a product conversation in the same meeting

- • Competitive salary
- • Equity

- • Professional development opportunities
- • Collaborative and dynamic work environment
