Technical Product Manager

As a Technical Product Manager at CKSource, you will help shape how AI becomes a real product capability across CKEditor. This role sits at the intersection of product thinking, engineering depth, and developer empathy. You’ll work closely with engineers, designers, and business stakeholders to turn AI opportunities into product decisions that are useful, scalable, and worth shipping. CKEditor AI brings AI directly into the editor through capabilities like chat, review, and translation, helping teams create and improve rich text content without leaving their workflow. You’ll work on one of the most advanced rich text editing platforms on the market, combining AI capabilities with real-time collaboration for products where content is core to the user experience.

• Come from a technical background (software development or another hands-on technical role).
• Ability to read code, hold your own in architecture discussions, and understand constraints.
• Ability to be productive in the trenches within 3 months.
• Comfortable owning hundreds of small decisions daily without waiting for permission.
• Understand how LLMs work, prompt engineering approaches, and model behavior impact product experience.
• Communicate clearly across very different audiences in fluent English.
• Experience shipping products that users and developers love and discussing technical tradeoffs.

Nice to have:

• Experience with product experiences where the interface matters as much as the model behind it (writing tools, editing workflows, review systems).
• Experience with enterprise-grade products where quality and details are critical.
• Understanding of content processes: how teams create, review, and publish content.
• Experience with rich text editing, document-centric products, or real-time collaboration.

• Help shape the product vision and roadmap for features.
• Drive prioritization day to day: make clear tradeoffs between user value, technical complexity, speed, and quality.
• Keep the team focused on what matters most right now.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to translate business needs into technical requirements.
• Manage the product lifecycle from conception through release.
• Define and track product requirements, and ensure delivery of high-quality and scalable solutions.
• Coordinate with sales, marketing, and support teams to maximize product success.
