About Panorama

Panorama is a fast-growing technology company focused on radically improving education.

More than 2,000 school systems serving 15 million students across the United States have adopted our platform to understand students’ academic and social-emotional strengths and identify those in need of additional support. Schools rely on our suite of tools, including school climate and social-emotional learning surveys, tiered intervention planning, and professional development, to ensure that every child gets the support they need.

About the Role

The Product Manager for Platform will play a critical role in shaping and evolving the foundational capabilities that power Panorama’s products. This role focuses on building and improving shared platform services that enable product teams to move faster, scale reliably, and deliver high-quality experiences to educators and students.

Reporting to the Director of Engineering, you will partner closely with engineering, SRE, data, security, and legal teams to define and execute a platform strategy that balances reliability, scalability, performance, and developer experience. Security and compliance will be an important part of this work, but the primary focus is on creating a strong, cohesive platform that supports Panorama’s long-term product vision.

In this role, you will prioritize high-impact initiatives that improve how teams build, operate, and scale on Panorama’s platform, while ensuring we meet our trust and safety obligations as a company serving schools and students.
