About RevolutionParts

RevolutionParts powers eCommerce for automotive dealers, brands, and aftermarket sellers — enabling them to sell parts and accessories online through a modern, scalable platform. We're growing our marketplace, B2B, and AI-powered shopping capabilities, and we're looking for a Technical Product Manager to help us build a faster, more reliable, and more discoverable platform.

About the Role

We're hiring a Technical Product Manager to own our platform performance, search, and reliability roadmap. This is a highly technical, cross-functional role: you'll partner directly with engineering to make architecture and prioritization tradeoffs, translate infrastructure investment into business impact, and drive measurable improvements in site speed, search relevance, and platform stability.

You'll be the product owner for the technical backbone of our platform — the areas that determine whether customers can find what they need and whether the site is fast and reliable enough to convert them.

This role determines what gets built and why, not how — the team you'll be partnering with is made up of staff, principal, and senior engineers who own implementation and architecture decisions. Your job is to define needs clearly enough that they don't have to guess, push back with technically grounded questions on performance and scalability tradeoffs, and hold the line on non-functional requirements before an engineer flags them as gaps after the fact.

Location: This is a hybrid position based in Tempe, Arizona, requiring two days per week on-site (currently Tuesday and Thursday) with the flexibility to work the remaining days remotely.

What You'll Do

• Own the product roadmap for platform health, search relevance, and site performance/latency, and prioritize it against feature roadmaps
• Partner with engineering on architecture and technical tradeoff decisions, bringing product judgment to complex infrastructure and search initiatives
• In postmortems, help distinguish whether an incident stemmed from a missing or poorly defined non-functional requirement versus an engineering execution issue or a known technical limitation
• Define and track performance and search metrics (page speed, search relevance, uptime, conversion impact) and connect them to business outcomes
• Translate technical constraints and platform debt into clear, business-readable priorities for leadership and stakeholders
• Drive discovery and requirements for search and platform improvements, working with data/analytics to validate impact
• Manage cross-functional dependencies between engineering, data, and other product teams on shared infrastructure

What Success Looks Like

• Measurable improvement in site performance (page load time, Core Web Vitals)
• Improved search conversion and relevance
• Reduced platform incidents and a prioritized, actively executing roadmap for platform debt and reliability

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of PM experience partnering

[…]
act on

• Comfortable pushing back on engineering with data, not just deferring
• Credible enough with staff/principal-level engineers to ask pointed technical questions and hold your ground, without needing to propose the solution yourself
• Bias toward measurable outcomes over feature output
• Strong cross-functional influence without direct authority
• Calm under ambiguity — platform and infrastructure work often lacks clean requirements

Education

Bachelor's degree in a technical field (Computer Science, Engineering) or equivalent practical experience
