About me

Hey, I'm Florian Jäger, a Technical Product Manager from Berlin, Germany. I build API ecosystems, AI-powered products, and cloud platforms. I work between engineering and business and turn what stakeholders need into software that runs in production. I'm currently open to new Senior PM and Technical PM roles in Berlin or remote within the EU.

With 6+ years of experience, I've owned API integration ecosystems with 50+ partners, shipped AI features to production, and designed cloud data pipelines. I've lived and worked in 8 countries, including Singapore, Tokyo and Berlin. On the technical side I work with Python, Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure. On the product side I lead products and align stakeholders across teams.

What I'm doing

  • API Ecosystems & Platform

    Building and scaling partner integration ecosystems, API specifications, and cloud-native platform infrastructure.

  • Product Management

    End-to-end product ownership, including roadmaps, backlog prioritization, stakeholder alignment and iteration based on data.

  • AI & Cloud Engineering

    Shipping AI-powered features to production, designing cloud data pipelines, and managing Kubernetes-based infrastructure.

  • International Business

    Cross-cultural business development and international project management with experience across Asia and Europe.

  • Technical Leadership

    Aligning engineering, sales and finance on one roadmap, setting engineering standards across teams and steering delivery.

  • What I'm looking for

    Open to new Senior PM / Technical PM roles in Berlin or remote within the EU, ideally around AI platforms, API ecosystems, or B2B SaaS.
