About Dispatch Network

Dispatch Network is building the most efficient last-mile network, through

proprietary AI models.

This is not a lightweight consumer app. We are looking for a Technical Product

Manager who can define precise requirements, build a bridge between the business and

tech teams, document complex business logic, and work closely with engineering to ensure

systems are built correctly, tested thoroughly, and scaled safely.

Role Overview

As a Technical Product Manager, you will be the single source of truth for product

requirements and business logic across core systems. You will translate high-level goals into

clear functional specifications, define edge cases, own acceptance criteria, and ensure

implementations match intent.

You will work daily with backend, mobile, data, and infra teams and be deeply involved in

solutioning, documentation, and validation, not just roadmap planning.

You will also be contributing to the production codebase.

What Youll Do

Requirements & Specification

Own end-to-end product requirements for assigned domains.

Translate business needs into:

Functional requirements

System behaviors

Business rules

Edge cases and failure scenarios

Write clear, structured documentation:

PRDs

Functional specs

Flow diagrams

State machines (where applicable)

Business Logic & System Thinking

Define and document core business logic for workflows such as:

Order lifecycle

Rider assignment

Pricing / incentives

Cancellations, retries, and exceptions

Think in terms of systems, not screens.

Anticipate downstream impacts of changes across services.

Engineering Collaboration

Work closely with backend, mobile, and infra teams during:

Requirement clarification

Technical solutioning

Sprint planning

Answer what should happen if questions decisively.

Review implementations to ensure alignment with specs.

Acceptance Criteria & Testing

Define clear acceptance criteria for every feature.

Create and maintain:

Test scenarios

Happy paths and edge cases

UAT checklists

Partner with engineers and QA to validate releases.

Sign off on feature readiness for production.

Documentation & Product Hygiene

Maintain up-to-date product documentation.

Ensure assumptions, decisions, and trade-offs are recorded.

Keep requirements synchronized as systems evolve.

Stakeholder Communication

Act as the bridge between:

Business

Engineering

Operations

Present trade-offs, constraints, and decisions clearly.

Align stakeholders on scope and priorities.

What Were Looking For

Required

3-5 years of experience in:

Technical Product Management

Product Owner

Business Analyst (with strong engineering exposure)

Proven ability to write clear, unambiguous requirements.

Strong understanding of:

Backend systems

APIs and service-based architectures

Data flows and state transitions

Experience defining:

Acceptance criteria

Test cases

UAT plans

Comfortable working closely with engineers on technical details.

Background in engineering, computer science, or data.

Experience with tools like Jira, Confluence, Docusaurus.

Exposure to analytics and KPI-driven product decisions.

Strongly Preferred

Experience with system-heavy products (logistics, fintech, infra, marketplaces).

Familiarity with:

Event-driven systems

Distributed workflows

Real-time or near-real-time systems

Ability to read basic backend code or API contracts.

Experience working in fast-moving startup environments.

What Will NOT Work in This Role

Treating requirements as high-level bullet points.

Deferring all edge cases to engineering.

Writing specs without understanding system constraints.

Being disconnected from testing and validation.

Focusing only on roadmap slides instead of execution clarity.

Why Join Dispatch Network

Work on core systems, not superficial features.

High ownership and influence over how systems behave.

Close collaboration with strong engineering teams.

Opportunity to shape product foundations at scale.

Culture focused on clarity, correctness, and long-term thinking.
