Good question — and the honest answer starts with one big caveat.

I want to be straight with you, I overstepped by naming it a "smoking gun."

Vertex | Platform Product Manager | Remote (US or Canada) | https://vertexvis.com
We are a startup working on a cloud-native 3D visualization platform for digital manufacturing. We've built a horizontally scalable platform on AWS for rendering large complex CAD, BIM, and scanned models (think airplanes, cars, tractors) with performance independent of a device's graphics card (our tech stack does not use WebGL). Our customers and partners use our platform to build digital twin and Industry 4.0 applications for use cases in engineering, manufacturing, sales, IoT, AR/VR, and service.
We are hiring a Platform PM to lead our SDK/API product efforts. You will responsible for building and managing the customer-facing developer experience, understanding customer use cases and developing a roadmap for API functionality. Along with working with our development teams, we are looking for PMs interested in getting their hands dirty in all areas of the business: user experience, sales, product marketing, and customer success.

I have a BS & MS in Mechanical Engineering, but I have spent the last 15+ years in Software. I first got my start learning to code on the side, but eventually made my way into Product Management. I would look for software engineering companies in the ME space think CAD, PLM, FEA type software companies and look for jobs in PM or even customer success and pre-sales engineering. Some of the best PM's that I've hired come from the customer success groups.

If your SaaS value proposition is compelling enough, the right person will be generous with their time and they will be passionate about the feedback that they give you. If you can't find a customer willing to do this, that's either telling you that you have the wrong customer or wrong product. Often the incentive for them is solving the pain itself. I had a few customers talk about how my SaaS was going to save their marriage. I would not skip this step - product discovery and validation is the core of what Marty preaches.
