Technical Product Manager

**About Pearl** Pearl is a mission\-driven Certified B Corp building the first national home performance rating system and registry for U.S. homes \- like a FICO score for homes. Our platform makes the invisible qualities of a home \- its safety, comfort, resilience, and energy \- visible, measurable, and financially valuable. When Pearl succeeds, home performance data will sit at the center of how trillions of dollars move through the housing economy \- powering smarter lending, fairer insurance, and higher resale value for efficient homes. Buyers will know what they’re getting. Owners will be rewarded for upgrading \& transparency. And the market itself will help accelerate the clean\-energy transition. The opportunity is enormous: a multi\-billion\-dollar platform at the intersection of data, finance, real estate, and climate technology. Pearl is entering a period of accelerated product development, new partner integrations, and expansion of consumer\-facing experiences. **About the role** The Technical Product Manager owns Pearl's backend, API product surface. This is not a UX\-first role, Pearl has dedicated PMs running consumer and partner\-facing products with interfaces. This role sits one layer deeper, at the infrastructure of what makes those products possible. Today, that ownership spans three core product areas: * Integrations \& Public Programs, an area we expect to continue expanding * The Certification App, including oversight of the team that supports it * Contractor\-facing tools and applications You will work directly with backend engineering teams \- both onshore and offshore \- to shape, plan, and deliver the systems that power Pearl's platform. You'll translate technical changes (API updates, data model shifts, pipeline improvements) into clear product requirements, and you'll be equally comfortable discussing schema design with an engineer and communicating release implications to a business stakeholder. This is a mid\-level role for someone who has lived in the backend world, who understands the real challenges of data pipelines, service dependencies, and deployment cycles and who brings the product discipline to turn that technical fluency into organized, well\-communicated delivery. **Key responsibilities** ### **Backend \& Data Pipeline Product Ownership** * Own the product roadmap for Pearl's backend systems, API layer, and data pipelines. * Define requirements and acceptance criteria for backend initiatives in close collaboration with engineering \& product. * Maintain a deep understanding of how backend and data layer changes ripple through to consumer and partner\-facing products. * Identify and articulate downstream product impact when APIs, data models, or pipeline logic evolves. ### **Engineering Team Partnership** * Serve as the primary product partner for Pearl's backend engineering teams, including offshore teams. * Run structured planning and communication rhythms with
