Product Manager, Developer Tools

About the job

Job Description Product Manager, Developer Tools (0?1) About Anakin Anakin helps companies in e-commerce, ride-hailing, food delivery, and quick commerce stay competitive with real-time data. We do dynamic pricing, competitor intelligence, and product optimization using technology, AI, and analytics. Today, our core business scrapes a large number of websites and apps to deliver pricing and market data to major clients. Over time, we’ve built strong internal scraping modules that make extraction efficient, reliable, and scalable. Now we’re productizing those modules. What we’re building We’re turning our internal scraping stack into standalone developer tools: APIs and products that developers can use directly. This is a new customer segment for us. Our existing business sells high-ACV contracts to large companies. This product is built for developers—from a solo builder to a platform team at a big company. We plan to ship a real external release by the end of the year. A team is already working on it. The role (why it’s different) This is our first true Product Manager hire for Anakin. We’ve had project managers before, but they were mostly client-project managers: one client, one custom project. This is different. This is product. You’ll own a 0?1 developer product end-to-end: • product direction and execution, • talking to developers (the actual users), • getting pilots live, • and doing the early go-to-market. We do have a sales team, but they’re focused on the existing business. This role is for the new product line. There’s also no marketing team right now. We’re hiring, but it will take time. So early on, a lot of things will be DIY: customer outreach, messaging, docs, launch playbooks, and the messy 'make it work' stuff. If you want a role where you’ll learn a lot because you actually own the product, this is it. Role Overview We’re evolving to offer our internal web scraping modules as standalone developer tools to external users. That’s why we’re hiring a Product Manager dedicated to this area. You’ll lead the end-to-end development of developer-centric scraping products—from initial conception to customer pilots and scaling. This is a greenfield role that needs deep technical understanding, strong ownership, and tight collaboration with engineering and cross-functional teams. Key Responsibilities • Lead the ideation, design, and delivery of web scraping APIs and developer tools, ensuring robust, scalable, and compliant data solutions. • Work hands-on with engineers worldwide: use the product yourself, propose improvements, and coordinate product launches. • Own the roadmap and drive technical problem-solving, including alignment with large language models (LLMs) for web scraping workflow automation. • Do customer discovery, demos, pilots, and handle all customer-facing work until the product scales enough to hire dedicated roles for it. • Define PRDs and success metrics (API design, developer adoption, SLA compliance), and drive go-to-market work alongside Sales and Customer Experience. • Build and enforce frameworks for ethical data sourcing, regulatory compliance, security, and risk management with internal stakeholders and external experts. • Instrument and own metrics for coverage, accuracy, freshness, API performance; use SQL and analytics as needed. What you’ll bring • 5–10 years of professional experience, including at least 2 years as a Product Manager or Owner in B2B technology or data-driven products. • Coding skills in Python, Go, JavaScript, or Java, plus comfort with Git, APIs, and SQL for prototyping, debugging, and product analysis. • Experience building APIs, data pipelines (ETL/ELT), and productizing ML workflows with human-in-the-loop quality processes. • Strong understanding of web scraping, anti-bot techniques, catalog matching, entity resolution, or search relevance is a plus. • Proven ability to lead new product development from inception to pilot to scale, and communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders. • Metrics-driven mindset: coverage, latency, adoption, retention, and quality SLAs. • Experience in on-demand commerce (e-commerce, ride-hailing, quick commerce, digital brands) is preferred. Perks and benefits • Competitive compensation including employer and employee PF contributions. • Comprehensive health insurance and group term insurance covering self and dependents. • A fast-paced environment with real stability and growth opportunities (we’re building and we’re profitable). • You’ll be the first Product Manager hire for this new product line, reporting directly to the CEO/founder. • Broad scope, high ownership, and room to grow into leadership. Location & work mode • In-office role based in HSR Layout, Monday to Friday. • Leave, attendance, and work-from-home policies are available upon request.
