Apply for Product Manager

Building the future of work by making AI multiplayer. Strategy, design, and technology for humans and agents, cooking side by side.

Role Summary

We’re looking for a Product Manager who can bring structure, sequencing, and communication to complex product and delivery work — especially in environments where projects are part product build, part client collaboration, and part emerging systems design.

This person will help turn fuzzy opportunities into executable plans, keep cross-functional work moving, and serve as a strong bridge between stakeholders, operators, and engineering. They should be equally comfortable in roadmap conversations, client-facing synthesis, and day-to-day execution management.

What You’ll Do

- Turn ambiguous ideas, client asks, and strategic opportunities into clear product plans

- Own scope definition, prioritization, and sequencing across active workstreams

- Create and maintain tickets, specs, milestone plans, and weekly execution rhythms

- Run demos, updates, and written summaries for internal and external stakeholders

- Partner closely with engineering to keep work well-scoped, well-prioritized, and realistically sequenced

- Translate between business needs, client expectations, and technical implementation realities

- Help identify when work is production-ready vs. exploratory vs. demo-only

- Create alignment across multiple stakeholders without adding unnecessary process

What We’re Looking For

- 4+ years in product management, technical PM, or a similar execution-heavy role

- Strong written communication and synthesis skills

- Proven ability to drive execution in messy, ambiguous environments

- Comfort working closely with engineers on technical products and workflows

- Experience running cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders

- Good judgment on prioritization, tradeoffs, and expectation-setting

- Ability to create clarity without creating bureaucracy

Nice to Have

- Experience in B2B SaaS, internal tools, workflow products, or client-facing custom product work

- Technical fluency sufficient to work well with engineering on APIs, systems, and architecture tradeoffs

- Experience with design-partner projects, custom enterprise workflows, or operationally complex implementations

- Familiarity with AI-native product or team workflows

What Success Looks Like

- Engineering gets clearer priorities and better-scoped work

- Stakeholders know what is happening, what is blocked, and what comes next

- Projects avoid thrash, hidden ambiguity, and expectation mismatches

- The team ships more predictably without losing speed
