Senior/Staff Product Manager, Foundations

About Doss

DOSS is building an Operations Cloud for the real world.

A modern, AI-native platform for physical product businesses to manage the flow of goods, dollars, and data in real time, across:

• Procurement

• Inventory

• Orders

• Fulfillment

• Finance

Built to replace spreadsheet chaos and rigid, consultant-heavy ERPs. Fast time-to-value, adaptable as the business evolves.

Through our Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) and unified operational data model, teams deploy quickly, automate workflows, and make changes without months of re-implementation.

We recently raised a $55M Series B, co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest. Participation from Intuit Ventures, Theory Ventures, General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, and Pathlight VC.

DOSS is trusted by fast-growing operators to run critical operations with speed, control, and confidence.

About the Role

As a Senior Product Manager on our Foundations team, you'll own the primitives that everything at Doss is built from: tables, workflows, interfaces, dashboards, navigation, permissions, and mobile. These are the building blocks our internal solutions teams assemble into customer instances, and the interface through which our customers interact with Doss every day.

That gives you two sets of customers. The first is internal and external teams who build and configure customer instances on top of Doss. The second is the end customers who use what those teams build. Your job is to make both the building blocks and the experiences they create more capable, more composable, and easier to work with.

This is a systems role. The decisions you make are about primitives, composability, and building the right level of abstraction that ripples across every part of the product. We've found that people who've built platforms, infrastructure, or developer tools products tend to think in exactly this way, which is why we're especially excited about candidates from that background. Your computer science background and or prior experience as a software engineer will help you go deep with the engineering team and reason about the technical implications of product decisions.

Over time, the engineering team will break into dedicated product areas, each with its own engineering team focused on a single core product (tables, workflows, interfaces, mobile, and so on). You'll help shape how that evolution happens and where those lines get drawn.

About the team

The Foundations team is responsible for the delivered product experience and the tooling that powers customer instances. We maintain both the building blocks our internal teams build with and the interface through which builders and customers interact with Doss. It's a high-ownership team with a blend of back-end, full-stack, and front-end engineers.

What You'll Do

• Own product strategy and roadmap for the Foundations surface area, balancing the needs of internal builders and end customers.

• Drive discovery, prioritization, and delivery across the building blocks below, deciding what to deepen, what to expand, and what to sequence next:

  • Tables: the builder, data access, import and export, new column types, lookups, formula and relationship building, and records.

  • Workflows: action step types, the viewer experience, triggers, notifications, observability into errors and run history, and (in the future) a web-based builder.

  • Custom Interfaces: the builder experience for custom UI pages for end users

  • DataStudio: the dashboard builder, BI elements, dashboard management, and data export.

  • System IA: application navigation, composable user experiences, sidebars, and canvas.

  • User management: creating roles and permissions, assigning them to users, inviting new users, and revoking access.

  • Mobile: the iOS and Android Doss experience.

• Partner closely with a team of back-end, full-stack, and front-end engineers, plus design, to turn complex technical and customer needs into clear product direction.

• Make tradeoff decisions with a strong focus on customer value, technical feasibility, and the long-term quality and coherence of the platform.

• Work directly with internal solutions teams to understand how they build on Doss, then turn those patterns into better primitives and tooling.

• Help the team scale by setting up the structure, context, and roadmaps that let new engineers pick up ownership quickly.

Who We're Looking For

• Experience owning product strategy for a technical platform, infrastructure, developer tool, or other building-block product.

• A computer science background or prior experience as a software engineer, ideally enough to reason about architecture, data models, and technical tradeoffs alongside engineers.

• Strong systems thinking: the ability to design primitives that compose well and to anticipate how a change in one place affects everything built on top of it.

• A track record of leading complex product work with multiple stakeholders and making clear decisions in areas with real technical ambiguity.

• Comfort working with a mixed team of back-end, full-stack, and front-end engineers across the full surface of a product.

• Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to make technical product direction clear and legible to others.

• Transferable experience from adjacent areas is welcome: developer platforms, infrastructure software, no-code or low-code tools, internal tooling, or applied AI products.

What You'll Get

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity

• 100% Coverage for individuals Premium medical, dental & vision coverage

• 401(k), immediate eligibility

• Lunch in-office 5 days/week (and dinner when needed)

• Flexible/unlimited PTO

• Commuter (BART/MUNI/CalTrain) and equipment stipends

• Wellness & Fitness stipend

• Generous parental leave

• Relocation assistance available

• In-office culture in San Francisco
