We are looking for a hands-on, deeply technical Product Manager to work embedded with our R&D team in Veszprém, Hungary.
This role is execution-focused: you will work directly with engineers to define, scope, and deliver CIAM capabilities.
You should be comfortable defining requirements for APIs, discussing architecture trade-offs, understanding implementation details, clearly communicate details, and thrive in a pragmatic, fast-moving environment where delivering customer value matters more than process perfection.

- Collaborate with US-based product management leadership to understand strategic goals and initiatives, and support refinement execution of features defined by them as well as those you own

- Lead technical discovery and trade-off discussions, especially across authentication, authorization, identity lifecycle, and integrations
- Define and maintain clear APIs, contracts, and system behaviors
- Ensure features are implementable, testable, and scalable from day one
- Partner with engineering to make pragmatic decisions aligned with current company stage and resources

- Contribute to roadmap discussions with a strong grounding in technical feasibility and delivery cost

- Track record of delivering complex backend or platform features, not just UI products
Effective Engineering Collaboration
- Builds effective, collaborative relationships with engineers and engineering leaders
- Understands role boundaries and respects engineering ownership of design and architecture
- Effective customer and business advocate, setting and holding the bar in scope and delivery negotiation
CIAM / Security Domain Understanding
- Working knowledge of authentication, authorization, and identity flows
- Familiarity with OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML, etc.
API-First Thinking

- Willing to make tough decisions to meet business needs
Strong Communication
- Can clearly communicate with engineers, customers, and leadership
- Writes clear, unambiguous technical requirements
