OtherProduct Manager Screens & Transactions

At Mechanical Orchard, we specialize in safely rewriting the most critical and complex business applications—the software that runs the world as we know it today—so they’re ready to adapt quickly and easily to market challenges and opportunities. Our approach emerged from observing the decades-long failure patterns in modernization efforts and is designed to eliminate the risks and disruptions that characterize most projects.

Our background in software development and the impact on the industry is well known: we've literally helped write the book on XP and other impactful Agile practices. We’re applying the same thoughtfulness and rigor in applying AI pragmatically where it helps. We believe in the durable principles behind Agile, and embrace the power of cross-functional teams, collective ownership, test driven development, short feedback loops, and continuous improvement.

We’re bringing joy to beleaguered IT teams everywhere. Together, we’re seeing how applying craft, expertise, and technologies we’re building can fundamentally transform the way companies operate, innovate, and win. Our values are: Do the right thing. Do what works. Be kind.

About the role

We’re seeking a Product Manager for our Screens & Transactions team, a newly formed team that is building out platform features in support of modernization of transactional mainframe workloads and terminal screens. We need a PM to take this area of our platform from 0-1, working in a highly ambiguous space and validating solutions rapidly.

Product Managers at Mechanical Orchard are dedicated to one team and work closely with a team of software engineers, as well as cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing and our forward-deployed engineering teams. They balance long-term strategy with tactical delivery and apply modern product thinking to problems that have resisted innovation for decades. They identify and mitigate risk through effective stakeholder communication, cross-discipline collaboration, and by providing clarity and focus for teams. They apply an entrepreneurial and iterative mindset to the complex and highly technical problems of legacy software modernization.
