We are seeking a talented Product Manager to coordinate, prioritize, and communicate Mend’s IDE integrations, including for SCA (Open Source dependencies) and SAST (static analysis of custom code). As these are developer tools, we are seeking someone with technical skills for this role, with ex-developers ideally suited. We also welcome anyone seeking to transition from a Development to Product Management role to apply too. It’s an important requirement to have existing experience with IDE plugins/extensions either from an implementation or product management perspective. In this role, you should understand the developer jobs to be done, and be steering strategy and priorities.

You’ll be responsible for identifying and managing product requirements, prioritizing engineering teams work on features and bugs, and supporting feature launch and rollout processes. As a Product Owner at Mend, you’ll articulate solutions from concept through implementation.

Because of our need to support a wide variety of IDEs and languages, the product manager in this role will need to decide and justify build vs buy decisions, for example when to build competence externally, when to utilize external consultants, and whether to utilize any commercial off the shelf libraries to speed up implementations.

The majority of stakeholders you will interact with will be in GMT+1 or GMT+2 time zones, so a candidate in Europe or Israel is preferred. Both remote or (hybrid) on-site in Tel Aviv can be supported.
