Product Manager IV
$105-$112.00/hr on w2 , DOE
Hybrid Onsite in Cupertino , CA
6 months Contract with possible extension
We're looking for a creative technologist who sits at the intersection of product thinking, stakeholder communication, and hands-on building. This person will rapidly translate business needs into working application prototypes using modern agentic AI development tools, turning vague ideas into tangible, interactive experiences — fast.
- Facilitate structured working sessions with business stakeholders, product owners, and end users to surface requirements
- Ask the right questions to uncover actual needs vs. stated requests
- Document business requirements in clear, structured formats (user stories, use cases, process flows)
- Translate business language into functional specifications that can drive development
- Convert functional specs into interaction models - what the app does, how users move through it, what decisions it makes
- Define the scope of a prototype: what to include, what to stub, what to defer
- Use agentic coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot Workspace) to generate and iterate on working application code
- Build functional prototypes — not just static mockups, but apps that demonstrate real interactions and workflows
- Iterate quickly based on stakeholder feedback, often within hours or days
- Know when "good enough to learn from" is better than "perfect
- Present prototypes to stakeholders and facilitate structured feedback sessions
- Distinguish between feedback that changes requirements vs. feedback that refines implementation
- Maintain a clear changelog of decisions and pivots
Expected Skillset
- Strong verbal & written communication - You'll run meetings and write specs that others build from
- Experience using SQL to query simple data sets and building data driven visualizations
- Experience facilitating requirements sessions - Stakeholders don't always know what they want - you'll help them figure it out
- Ability to write clear functional specs - Bridges the gap between business and technology
- Hands-on experience with AI coding tools - Claude Code, Cursor, or similar agentic dev environments
- Working knowledge of web or app development - If using agent tools, you need to understand what you're asking AI to build
- Wireframing / mockup skills - Sketch, Figma, Balsamiq, or even whiteboard-level fidelity
- Comfort with ambiguity - Requirements will be incomplete - that's the job
Nice to Have
- Experience in UX research or product management
- Familiarity with prompt engineering and working effectively with LLMs
- Ability to write basic code independently (Python, JavaScript, etc.)
- Experience with rapid prototyping frameworks (Next.js, Streamlit, v0, etc.)
- Background in a specific domain (e.g., enterprise software, internal tools, data apps)
