Key Skills

AI/ML Product Management Platform APIs Developer Experience Agent-Facing Products Cursor/Claude Code Global Employment 0 to 1 Product Cross-functional Collaboration Strategic Thinking

Dear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the Senior Product Manager, Remote Build role at Remote. With over 8 years of experience building platform and API products, I am drawn to the challenge of defining how AI agents interact with global employment infrastructure. I have shipped developer-facing surfaces and led 0→1 initiatives, including a custom SDK that became a core product line. My proficiency in Cursor and Claude Code allows me to prototype autonomously and understand the agent-native perspective.

I am particularly inspired by Remote's commitment to async innovation and its vision for agentic shift. I look forward to contributing to Remote Build's mission of making every engagement compound. Thank you for considering my application.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

Describe a time you built a product from zero to one. What was your approach to defining scope and prioritizing features?
I led the creation of a custom data integration tool for a fintech startup. I started by interviewing 10 potential customers to identify pain points, then built a minimal prototype using a low-code platform. Based on feedback, I focused on two core features that solved 80% of the problem, launching in 3 months. Post-launch, we iterated based on usage data, eventually making it a full product line.
How would you decide whether a specific customer engagement should become a reusable product feature or remain bespoke?
I would evaluate three criteria: 1) How many customers have the same or similar need? 2) Is the solution scalable without high maintenance? 3) Does it align with our product vision? If at least two conditions hold, I'd propose building a reusable component. Otherwise, I'd keep it bespoke but document the pattern for future reference.
Explain how you would design an API for AI agents vs. human developers. What differences matter?
For agents, the API must be deterministic, have clear error codes, avoid breaking changes, and support batching. Humans benefit from more verbose documentation and exploratory endpoints. Agents need minimal latency and consistent response structures. I would add versioning headers and rate limiting optimized for automated calls.
How do you stay updated on AI/agent trends and how would you apply that to Remote Build?
I follow key researchers on Twitter, read monthly AI newsletters (e.g., The Batch), and attend conferences like NeurIPS. I would set up a small cross-functional 'AI squad' to prototype new agent-interaction patterns every quarter, then test them with Build customers. For example, exploring MCP for payroll agents.
Tell me about a time you had to convince senior stakeholders to invest in a risky new product initiative. How did you build the case?
I proposed a new payment integration product at my previous company. I built a business case with TAM analysis, competitive landscape, and projected revenue from 3 pilot customers. I also created a working prototype to demonstrate feasibility. After presenting to the executive team, I secured budget for a 6-month sprint.

About Remote:

Remote is solving a huge challenge for global organizations: compliantly employing anyone, anywhere. We make it possible for businesses to employ a global team by handling global payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance (learn more about how it works).

We’re backed by A+ investors and our team is world-class, literally and figuratively – we’re scattered around the world working together within a culture of kindness and excellence.

Please check out our public handbook to learn more about our culture. We encourage folks from all ethnic groups, genders, sexuality, age and abilities to apply. If this job description resonates with you, we want to hear from you!

How we work

While we love working async we have live interactions too. We aspire to minimize meetings and encourage you to create your own schedule based on when you’re able to do your best work.

We empower ownership, proactivity, and default to action. We operate based on treating each other with kindness and support each other as a team.

The position

This is an exciting time to join Remote and shape a new business as the Senior Product Manager, Remote Build.

Remote Build is Remote’s move on the agentic shift: as AI agents proliferate across HR and Finance stacks, they need to route through the employment infrastructure layer — labour law across 100+ countries, payroll, entity structures, the compliance rail. Remote product teams develop the core; Remote Build delivers the rest with customers — deploying standard connectors, building bespoke ones, co-building custom apps and agents on top of Remote’s APIs, MCP, and CLI, and running managed services after launch.

This is a 0→1 role. Your mission: make every Build engagement compound — deciding which stay bespoke and which evolve into capabilities Remote owns, maintains, and improves long-term. You’ll report to a Senior Group Product Manager and work closely with the Remote Build Principal (business, P&L) and Technical Lead (delivery, scoping).

General requirements

  • AI / agents fluency. You have shipped agent-facing or AI-native product surfaces and you have a clear point of view on what changes when agents — not humans — are the primary consumer of an API.
  • Proficiency in Cursor and/or Claude Code is required. You must be able to autonomously build, debug, and ship functional code and prototypes — not just write specs.
  • Senior-level experience as a Product Manager, with a track record on platform, API, or developer-facing products. You have shipped surfaces other people build on.
  • 0→1 builder. You have stood up a new product line or business from nothing. You are comfortable with ambiguous scope, unset baselines, and P&L thinking.
  • The “product-biz” mindset. Proven ability to think commercially. You understand how a connector, an SDK, or a managed-service line shows up in revenue, gross margin, and retention.
  • Outstanding customer-facing communication and collaboration skills. Build trusted customer relationships, lead discovery and working sessions, translate needs into clear requirements, and align cross-functional stakeholders to deliver high-quality outcomes.
  • Technical fluency. Familiarity with APIs, REST, Webhooks, OAuth, and the design choices that make a platform safe for external builders. You can read a partner’s docs and identify the risks.
  • Strong UX sensibilities. Great UX for the user, always. A connector, a custom app, or an agent should feel effortless to the person on the other side — every time.
  • Great judgment-making strategic (what to prioritize) and tactical (feature scope) decisions.
  • Language: Business-level proficiency writing and speaking English.
  • Domain advantage (nice to have): experience with HRIS, payroll, or fintech platforms (Workday, HiBob, Personio, BambooHR, Greenhouse, Netsuite, Merge, Finch, or similar).

Key responsibilities

  • Own demand signals and unit economics. Aggregate what customers are asking for across engagements, and own the packaging and pricing that make Remote Build services repeatable and profitable.
  • Standard integrations — fast, fixed-fee deployments. Make deploying Remote’s existing standard connectors fast, predictable, and fixed-fee.
  • Custom integrations — build and productize new connectors. Remote Build builds the bespoke connectors customers ask for that don’t yet exist. Decide which of those graduate from one-off into reusable connectors.
  • Custom apps and agents — run the engagement model and outputs. Remote Build builds custom apps and agents with customers, on top of Remote’s APIs, MCP, and CLI. Codify the patterns that repeat — reference architectures, agent templates, and starter kits.
  • Managed services — productize the playbook. Turn the recurring services line into a product. Reusable processes, customer-facing surfaces, and the tooling that lets managed services scale on leverage, not headcount. Own the handoff from delivery into steady-state.
  • Connect the dots across functions. Partner with the Remote Build leadership group, platform product teams, GTM, and customer success so every engagement is set up to succeed — commercially and technically.
  • Give platform and feature teams insights. Turn Build engagements into clear, actionable feedback for platform and feature teams — what to add, fix, and productize across the APIs, MCP, CLI, and the product overall.
