Full Description

Product Manager Catena · Remote (US) · Full-Time The Short Version We normalize real-time telematics and execution data from hundreds of thousands of trucks and trailers — across 130+ providers — into a single API. The infrastructure works. Now we need to make it faster to integrate, easier to trust, and more obviously valuable to the developers and operators building on top of it. This is our first product management hire, and it's a role for someone who sees that as an opportunity rather than a warning sign. What You'll Own API & Platform Development — you'll identify the highest-impact improvements across our API endpoints, schemas, data models, and webhook capabilities, and work with engineering to ship them. The goal is a platform that developers can integrate quickly, trust completely, and build on confidently. You'll know what needs to change because you'll be close enough to the customer to feel where the friction is. Developer Experience & Documentation — a great API that's hard to understand doesn't get adopted. You'll partner with our product specialist to evolve our documentation, integration guides, onboarding tutorials, and code examples into a developer experience that gets teams to their first successful integration fast. Customer Onboarding & Adoption — you'll own the end-to-end onboarding journey for fleets and platform customers. That means reducing connection friction, improving setup clarity, and designing the path to the first moment where a customer genuinely sees what Catena's data can do. Adoption is a product problem, and this role owns it. Customer Discovery — you'll spend real time with customers — brokers, TMSs, fintechs, fleets — understanding their operational workflows and where data does and doesn't deliver value today. Your insights will drive the roadmap, not just inform it. Who Fits This Role The best candidates have managed technical or API-driven products and understand that developer experience is a product discipline, not a documentation task. You're comfortable in a schema, can reason about data models and integration workflows, and know how to translate a customer's operational pain into a crisp product requirement. Specifically, you: Have shipped platform or API products before and understand what makes integrations succeed or fail in the real world. Can talk to a developer, an engineer, and a freight operator in the same day and be credible to all three. Run discovery like it's the most important part of the job — because at this stage, it is. Are execution-oriented. You write clear specs, make decisions without perfect information, and keep things moving. Are comfortable with ambiguity and can set your own direction when the roadmap isn't handed to you. Have strong product instincts about when to build, when to wait, and when the right answer is documentation instead of a feature. 4+ years of product management experience, ideally with APIs, data platforms, developer tools, or SaaS infrastructure. Logistics, supply chain, or fintech experience is a meaningful plus. Why Catena, Why Now Catena has raised $8.25M from Shaper Capital, Floating Point, Plug and Play, Liquid 2, and leading industry angels. Customers are already using us in production — many of them are also investors. The platform problem here is genuinely hard and genuinely unsolved. Freight data is fragmented, inconsistent, and spread across dozens of providers with incompatible formats. The PM who joins now will help define what a reliable, decision-grade telematics API actually looks like — and build the product experience that makes it the default choice for the next generation of freight platforms. Compensation: Competitive salary, meaningful equity, full benefits, 401k match. Remote-first. Optional travel for team offsites and occasional on-sites.
