Technical Product Manager

Product Manager

Location: Montréal, QC | Relocation available for the right candidate

About Us: Read this part first

Most PM job descriptions are written by committee, so they read like one: a wall of "collaborate cross-functionally" and "drive alignment." We're not going to insult you with that. Here's what's true.

We build nicotine delivery systems that solve societal problems, but first drive consumer preference. Why? You can't make a difference without being relevant first. We're fast-growing- The Grocer's Top Product Launch of 2025- and we're scaling into new markets— which means solving product problems most consumer companies never have to. The product you'll own sits at the intersection of AI/ML, firmware, mobile, cloud, behavior and pattern assessment, UX and design, and it has to clear a bar higher than anyone has ever cleared before.

This is not just a roadmap-grooming job. This is a build-the-hard-thing job.

We're looking for a software-first systems thinker who uses product management as the mechanism for solving complex cross-functional problems. Someone who can connect technology, customer needs, and business strategy into a coherent product vision. Someone who isn't satisfied with simply shipping features, but is driven to solve the right problems, improve the quality of product decisions, and shape products that don't yet have an obvious playbook.

You'll work directly with the founder & CEO, helping define how AI, software, cloud infrastructure, firmware, connected hardware, behavioral intelligence, and customer experience come together to create products that very few Product Managers will ever have the opportunity to build. If that excites you more than maintaining a roadmap, keep reading.

Why This Role Exists

As our products become more intelligent, the role of Product Management changes.

This isn't about coordinating work across teams or managing a backlog. It's about bringing clarity to increasingly complex product decisions.

Every meaningful decision sits at the intersection of technology, customer needs, and business outcomes. Your role is to bring those perspectives together, challenge assumptions, identify tradeoffs, and help the team make better decisions before code is written.

You'll partner closely with engineering, design, and leadership, connecting insights across disciplines and bringing clarity where there isn't an obvious answer. The best decisions rarely come from convention. They come from questioning assumptions, reasoning from first principles, and staying relentlessly focused on the customer and the business.

That's why we think of this role as a product editor, not simply a Product Manager. You're not here to manage a roadmap. It's to bring clarity, focus, and judgment to what matters most.

What You'll Actually Do

You are the connective tissue between business, several disciplines of engineering, design, and science. Not a messenger between them — the person who holds the whole system in their head and makes the calls nobody else is positioned to make.

You'll own the product layer where our hardware meets our software — how the device, the digital experience, and the cloud behave as one system. The hardest problems we have live here: they're software and data problems dressed as hardware problems, and solving them well is a genuine technical and architectural challenge, not a UX polish exercise. There are no off-the-shelf answers for what we’re building; you'll have to architect past the obvious.

You will:

• Own product specifications end-to-end: Define the problem, make the tradeoffs, and bring enough clarity that engineering can build with confidence.
• Build the measurement layer: If we can't show it works with data, it doesn't work.
• Make the hard reductions: Most of what gets proposed should be cut. Your job is to identify the irreducible core and protect it.
• Translate across disciplines that don't naturally speak the same language, and produce a single defensible point of view out of the mess.
• Challenge assumptions: Reason from first principles, and improve the quality of product decisions throughout the development process.

Who You Are

• You come from software and AI: You've shipped real systems — backend, ML, identity, or platform. You can read a firmware constraint and a model eval with equal fluency, ask the right questions, and tell the engineer when they're wrong. This is non-negotiable. A Product Manager without deep technical fluency won't be successful in this role.
• You reason from first principles: You don't ask, "What do competitors do?" You ask, "What is actually true, and what does that force us to build?" You reason from the physics/fundamentals of the problem up, not from convention down.
• You're ruthless about results: You measure. You cut. You'd rather ship one thing that decisively works than five things that mostly do. Process is something you tolerate, not something you generate.
• You're a product-minded editor: You take a sprawling, half-formed mess of inputs from multiple disciplines and produce a sharp, defensible product point of view. You have taste, judgment, and the spine/conviction to act on it.
• You write clearly: Clear writing is clear thinking. If your specs are muddy, your product will be too.
• You're a builder: You're already experimenting with frontier AI. You don't wait for everyone else to tell you what's important—you build, test, and form your own opinions. Whether it's new models, agents, or emerging tools, you're genuinely curious and know how to separate what's interesting from what's actually useful.

Technical Skills

You're fluent in modern product tooling. Whether it's product management platforms, analytics, design collaboration, or AI-assisted workflows, you pick up new tools quickly and use them to improve the quality and speed of your work.

• Product management and roadmap tools (JIRA, TRELLO, GIT)
• Technical collaboration tools and documentation
• Product specification and workflow management

How to Apply

Please send your resume to Fabi@NoSaint.co. No cover letter is required.

No cover letter. Send us your CV, along with short answers to the following:

1. One system you've shipped that you're proud of. Tell us about the one decision you made that you'd still defend today. What made it the right decision? One to two paragraphs only.

2. One feature, product, or process you decided to kill. Why was killing it the right call? We care more about this than #1.

3. A teardown of a popular product: Pick a popular product, software or hardware, that you believe is poorly designed. Tell us what's broken, why it's broken, and what you'd do differently. Shorter is better.
