Job Description
We're reimagining a legacy system from the ground up.
As the Founding Product & Platform Engineer, you'll define the architecture, tooling, engineering culture and development practices behind the next generation of SGS digital products. You'll be equally comfortable designing distributed systems, building customer-facing experiences, creating cloud platforms and writing production code.
This is not a traditional architect role. We are looking for a builder.
You'll lead by example, making key technical decisions through hands-on delivery rather than governance. You'll help create the products that drive business impact while establishing the platform capabilities, reusable services and engineering standards that allow a small team to deliver at scale.
If you're excited by greenfield environments, ambiguity, ownership and the opportunity to shape something from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
The Mission
Your dual mission is to:
Build exceptional digital products:
Lead the architecture and delivery of our most ambitious customer-facing solutions, owning everything from frontend experiences to backend services and cloud infrastructure.
Build the engineering platform behind them:
Create the tooling, deployment pathways and reusable building blocks that allow engineers to move quickly, safely and independently.
As successful patterns emerge, you'll transform them into shared capabilities that accelerate delivery across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead by Building: Act as the technical lead on our most important initiatives, architecting through code and setting the standard for engineering excellence.
- Own the Full Stack: Design and develop solutions across frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines.
- Build the Paved Road: Shape our platform (CI/CD, Kubernetes, IaC, observability) so other engineers ship faster and more safely.
- Turn Solutions into Reusable Capabilities: Identify successful patterns and convert them into shared services, frameworks, libraries and architectural standards
- Multiply Velocity: Continuously remove friction from the development lifecycle through automation, standardisation and thoughtful platform design.
- Mentor and Influence: Partner with engineers, product leads and designers to raise technical standards and encourage a culture of pragmatic, high-quality delivery.
Qualifications
What we’re looking for:
- Full Stack Mastery: Expert-level React/TypeScript on the frontend, and deep experience building distributed backends in Go, Python, or TypeScript.
- Cloud & IaC: Hands-on, architectural-level experience with a major cloud (GCP, AWS) and Terraform. You don’t just use it; you architect with it.
- Containers & CI/CD: Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD pipelines built from scratch (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI).
- Systems Thinking: Proven ability to design scalable, resilient and observable systems.
- Product Mindset: Experience working closely with Product and Design teams to deliver solutions that users genuinely value.
- Observability & Quality: Practical understanding of monitoring, tracing, testing and operational excellence, including tools such as Prometheus, Grafana and Jaeger.
Who You Are
- You have 10+ years of experience, with strong backgrounds in both product engineering and platform/SRE work.
- You are a builder first. You don’t run architecture review boards; you write the code that makes them unnecessary.
- You believe the best architecture is the simplest one that works, and that great products and great platforms are built by the same kind of mindset.
- You measure your success by the velocity, autonomy, and pride of the engineers around you.
Additional Information
Why SGS?
- Opportunity to work with a global leader in inspection, verification, testing, and certification.
- Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
- Competitive salary and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and development.

Tips for Your Remote Platform Product Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote platform product manager openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search by role and apply directly to the ones that match your experience, rather than piecing together listings from multiple sources.
Demonstrate async collaboration in your application
Remote platform product manager hiring managers read applications as a proxy for how you'll communicate on the job. Write your cover letter and work samples the way you'd write a product brief: structured, specific, and self-contained without requiring a follow-up call to understand.
Build a platform portfolio you can share remotely
Compile written artifacts from your platform work, such as API strategy docs, technical roadmaps, or architecture decision records. Remote employers can't walk a whiteboard with you, so documented evidence of platform decisions you've owned is what moves your application forward.
Target companies with distributed engineering teams
Platform product manager roles exist to coordinate infrastructure across multiple teams, so look for companies where engineering is already distributed. Remote-first SaaS businesses and companies with multiple time-zone offices are the most consistent hirers because they structurally need the role.
Remote Platform Product Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote platform product manager job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed teams that run engineering and product work asynchronously, since those employers hire platform product managers remotely most often. Remote hiring managers screen hard for written communication, self-direction, and experience working across distributed engineering and design teams. Strong documentation habits, a history of shipping platform infrastructure decisions without hand-holding, and comfort running stakeholder alignment in writing all give you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote platform product managers?
Remote platform product manager roles are posted by SGS, 6sense, and GitHub and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Remote-first software companies, fintech platforms, and enterprise SaaS businesses are the most consistent hirers because their platform teams are distributed by design.
Can you get a remote platform product manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level platform product manager roles are harder to land because you're expected to operate independently from day one with minimal in-person guidance. Remote-first startups and smaller SaaS teams are the most likely to hire early-career candidates. You can open the door by showing a portfolio of shipped work, API or developer tooling projects, or contributions to open-source platform efforts that demonstrate platform thinking without a formal title.
Do you need a degree for remote platform product manager jobs?
Not always. Remote employers for platform product manager roles weigh demonstrated results heavily, particularly evidence that you can own a platform roadmap, work through technical trade-offs, and communicate decisions clearly in writing. A portfolio showing platform infrastructure you've shipped, API strategy you've led, or developer-facing products you've owned often carries more weight than a specific degree.
Which industries hire the most remote platform product managers?
The sectors hiring the most remote platform product managers are Technology & Software, Retail, and Insurance, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These industries rely on distributed engineering teams that need dedicated platform product managers to coordinate infrastructure, developer tooling, and API strategy across time zones.
