Product Manager
FiledFiled is building the first AI tax preparer trusted by America’s accounting firms.
This industry might seem boringbut it’s a $70B backbone of the economy that’s breaking under a talent shortage no one has solved. We’re fixing it—fast.
In just 9 months, we’ve hit strong product-market fit, are generating insanely fast-growing, ridiculously sticky revenue, and are backed by top-tier investors. We’re not a tool—we’re the missing workforce firms have been sounding the alarm for. We’re building the future by expanding our already 30-person team with those who want to say “I was there when it all started.”

What we should tell you about the role
We’re hiring a Product Manager in Bangalore to own day-to-day product operations for three near-term focuses: two integrations and our back-office/RPA stream. You’ll translate high-level direction into a crisp backlog, drive stability and cadences, and keep engineers unblocked on site, with the team. You’ll be the bridge between Bangalore delivery and the broader product roadmap.
Here’s why this is a terrible job
We move in short cycles and expect visible progress. If you need fully defined specs, a perfect process, or want to run textbook Scrum, this will be painful. Your world is ambiguity, tradeoffs, and tough prioritization calls on a weekly basis. Also: classic Scrum-master reporting rituals won’t fly here.
…and why it’s the best career choice you’ll make
You’ll ship real outcomes fast, in an org that values ownership over ceremony. You’ll work at the intersection of gnarly tax logic, automation, and internal “customers” (tax engineers and ops) who feel like teammates, not tickets. (Voice mirrors your “best career choice” section. )
What you’ll do
Turn fuzzy direction into a clear, sequenced backlog; keep it current.
Run lean cadences: daily unblockers, risk calls, “how much is done / what’s at risk” roll-ups.
Drive stability across builds and testing; raise flags early.
Partner tightly with tax engineers (your primary users for back-office/RPA) and translate needs into buildable requirements.
Rapidly prototype (whiteboard/lo-fi) when it clarifies decisions; know when deeper work is needed.
You might be a fit if you have
Hard skills
Several years experience in product or project delivery roles; strong backlog/roadmap hygiene; risk tracking; unblock culture.
Ability to translate vague requirements into buildable tickets; push back on scope bloat with data.
Comfort with lo-fi prototyping (whiteboard, quick mock tools).
Bonus: tax domain familiarity (US or India) and/or B2B SaaS; API/RPA-heavy environments.
Soft skills
Ownership, bias to action, and high conscientiousness under ambiguity; strong stakeholder comms.
Startup energy: “whatever it takes,” not 9-to-5.
Can thrive with changing inputs; can ship useful work in two-week windows.
