About Nabu Casa
Nabu Casa, Inc was founded in 2018 by the founders of both Home Assistant, the open source home automation platform, and Home Assistant OS, the operating system that turns your device into a smart home hub powered by Home Assistant. These projects have seen an immense growth and have helped shape DIY home automation communities around the world.
After being involved in the Internet of Things industry for many years, we realized that there is a need for a cloud service that aims to put users, their privacy and their data first. Such a cloud can only be built as an extension to a platform that does the same: Home Assistant.
With Nabu Casa we are building this cloud service and we’re calling it Home Assistant Cloud.
We are a profitable company with no external investors. Our funding comes directly from users who subscribe to Home Assistant Cloud and purchase Home Assistant hardware, ensuring our only stakeholders are our employees and our users. We also support other open-source projects, including those focused on hardware, standards, and voice technology.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced and visionary Senior Product Manager based in Europe to lead the strategy for our Cloud and Hardware products. Our Cloud product is a SaaS subscription service, and our Hardware line provides users with optimized Home Assistant devices. In this role, you'll be building the product function for both of these critical initiatives.
A Unique Opportunity: Building the Product Function from Scratch
This is Nabu Casa's first dedicated Product Manager role. You won't be stepping into an established product function—you'll be defining what product management looks like here. This means:
What You Are Going To Do
Nabu Casa is a fully remote organization that uses Remote to employ people from all over the world. You will be a normal salaried employee in your country.
This is a full-time position for 40 hours per week. Because we are a fully remote company, there is no fixed schedule. For the purpose of team communication, we do try to ensure at least 3 hours of overlap in the workday. You will report to our Ceo, Paulus Schoutsen , based in New York. .
Core to the establishment of Nabu Casa was the well-being of the people building the future of the smart home. We will provide all the benefits required by the country you reside in. However, we also want to make sure all our employees, regardless of country of origin, get at least a minimal set of benefits, including:
About Us
