You'll help shape integrations and apps that are reliable, scalable, easy to adopt, and grounded in Remote's deep expertise in global employment, payroll, and compliance.</p> <p>Your mission is to make every customer engagement compound — turning recurring integration and app needs into repeatable, high-quality experiences that deliver meaningful outcomes for customers and the business.</p> <p></p> <h2><strong>Key Responsibilities</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Integration Architecture &amp; Design:</strong> Lead deep-dive technical discovery into Remote’s APIs and partner APIs. Understand data mapping, data flows, authentication flows, API keys, edge cases, and compliance requirements across 100+ countries.</li> <li><strong>Customer-Led Prioritization:</strong> Prioritize integration and app work based on customer needs, product impact, technical feasibility, operational complexity, and repeatability.</li> <li><strong>Cross-Functional Orchestration:</strong> Serve as the connective tissue between engineering, design, operations, GTM, sales, CX, and partners. Translate customer and partner requirements into clear technical specs, manage dependencies, and unblock delivery.</li> <li><strong>Quality &amp; Reliability:</strong> Sweat the details of data accuracy, sync reliability, error handling, observability, and supportability so integrations work well in real customer workflows.</li> <li><strong>Measure Integration Impact:</strong> Establish and track KPIs for technical performance, customer outcomes, and business impact, including adoption, reliability, retention, and customer satisfaction.</li> <li><strong>Repeatable Patterns:</strong> Codify repeatable patterns, reference architectures, and implementation playbooks that help customers adopt integrations and apps faster.</li> <li><strong>Drive Product Feedback:</strong> Turn integration learnings into clear, actionable feedback for Remote teams — what to add, fix, and improve across APIs, CLIs, and the product overall.</li> </ul> <h3>&nbsp;</h3> <h2><strong>General Requirements</strong></h2> <ul> <li><strong>Senior-Level Experience (Required):</strong> Track record as a Product Manager with a strong focus on <em>Integrations, APIs, or Platform ecosystems</em>.</li> <li><strong>Customer Focus:</strong> Deep empathy for customers and a strong sense of what matters most in their day-to-day workflows.

You believe that data syncing, even at scale across jurisdictions, should feel simple and seamless to the end user.</li> <li><strong>Proficiency in Cursor and/or Claude Code (Required):</strong> You must be able to autonomously build, debug, and ship functional code and prototypes — not just write specs. You can understand sample code, API responses, and integration flows hands-on.</li> <li><strong>Domain Expertise (HRIS/Payroll - nice to have):</strong> Experience with HRIS and payroll platforms (Workday, HiBob, BambooHR, Personio, ADP, Paychex, or similar). You understand data models, sync patterns, and common integration pain points in the space.</li> <li><strong>Outstanding Communication:</strong> Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You can explain complex technical integrations to non-technical executives and clearly articulate value to external partners.</li> <li><strong>Language:</strong> Business-level proficiency writing and speaking English.</li> </ul> <h2>&nbsp;</h2> <h2><strong>Remote Compensation Philosophy</strong></h2> <p>Remote's <a href="https://www.notion.so/remotecom/people-Total-Rewards-1945bce8d3924ece9421ba8630f57b0c">Total Rewards philosophy</a> is to ensure fair, unbiased compensation and fair <span class="link-annotation-unknown-block-id-1691622878">equity</span><span class="discussion-level-1 discussion-id-f2a82bc4-09e4-4a71-ad93-755b1d26a690 notion-enable-hover" data-token-index="3"> pay </span>along with competitive benefits in all locations in which we operate.
