Technical Product Manager

**The Bureaucracy Slayer ️**:
(a.k.a. Technical Product Manager)

Do you like to print and ink-sign contracts like we were still living in 1983, killing a tree every time?
Do you have archive-paper-invoices listed as a hobby?

Then this is not for you.

But if you get aggravated with red tape and inefficiencies, read on.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help us change the world of international business. We're on a quest to eliminate the burden of bureaucracy and free people to focus on meaningful work by leveraging innovation and technology.

BRIDGE IN is built differently. In 2024, we were recognized as the 2nd fastest-growing bootstrapped and profitable startup in all of Southern Europe. We got here with no VC funding, just pure smart execution. We started in Portugal, invaded Spain last year, and just arrived in Italy. The ultimate goal is by 2030 to conquer bureaucracy in the Old Continent.

We need a **Technical Product Champion**who can blend an analytical brain with a hacker mindset to relentlessly reduce, standardize, and automate away bureaucracy. If you believe that expertise and technology can dismantle outdated systems and empower organizations worldwide, then you're one of us. This is your chance to use your brainpower and a little bit of magic to create lasting impact.

**️ Your Battle Plan**:
As our Bureaucracy Slayer, you won't just manage products, you’ll imagine, define, and design solutions, delighting users so much they will almost like to do their taxes. Here's what your daily conquest looks like:

- **Forge the Masterplan**: You’ll be a key partner in forging our product roadmap, translating the grand vision into a crystal-clear, technically sound plan for our engineering teams.
- **Speak Fluent Engineerish**: You'll be the official translator from business and regulatory to functional specification, but more importantly, from technological possibilities to process re-engineering.
- **Conquer the Backlog**: You will manage the product backlog like a pragmatic ninja, prioritizing value creation and fighting scope creep.
- **Unite the Guilds**: You'll work with great minds in legal, tax, and accounting, translating their deep expertise into technology that scales. You'll ensure every team is moving in the same direction, together.
- **Craft the Scrolls of Truth**: You'll write detailed technical requirements and user stories, so clear and logical that our engineers can build on them without a single question while admiring in awe their simplicity.

**️ Your Arsenal**:
Every hero needs their special weapons and tactics. To succeed in this role, you must possess:

- **A Proven Track Record**:You've been in the trenches before, shipping software products in a tech, product, or engineering role.
- **A Mapmaker's Mind**: You can think in systems and processes, handcrafting intricate flowcharts and user journeys that simplify complex problems.
- **Technical Superpowers**:You have a solid grasp of the software development lifecycle, architectural patterns, and engineering principles. We're not looking for a coder, but you need to speak the language.
- **Agile Prowess**:You're a black belt in Agile frameworks like Scrum or Kanban.
- **Prototyping Wizardry**: You know your way around prototyping and genAI tools like Figma and Loveable. You can turn an abstract idea into a tangible, clickable experience.
- **Big-Picture Brain**: You think long-term but execute with urgency, making informed data-based decisions, relentlessly setting priorities.
- **Technical Storyteller**:. You can turn the most complex topics into simple, compelling stories for any audience. You make the unimaginable seem trivial.

**The Spoils**:
Besides the glory of fighting bureaucracy, in exchange for your battle-hardened skills and relentless effort, here's what you'll gain:

- **Empowerment to Act**: You're the Slayer. You have the autonomy to choose your weapons and tactics. We hired you for your brain, not to micromanage your every move.
- **A Seat at the Throne**: You'll have a front-row seat to our expansion across Europe, gaining invaluable experience scaling a top-tier, bootstrapped startup.
- **Work from the War Room of Your Choice**: We're a remote-first team with a flexible schedule. Work from wherever you feel most creative and ready to dismantle the bureaucracy.
- **Real Impact**: You won't be a cog in the machine. You'll be building the machine that will crush red tape for good.
- **The Treasure Chest**: Your efforts will be rewarded with a competitive salary, a variable bonus tied to our success, and private health insurance.

If you're ready to embrace the chaos, be thrown into the bureaucratic jungle with just a paperclip, and come out riding a custom-built red tape destroyer dragon, then let's talk. We're a small but mighty team, and we're just getting started.
