In this position, there are two stages:

• First 3-6 months… You will work closely with Boris Borisov (CPO & Co-founder) over the two existing product teams in the company (5 developers, 1 designer at the moment). The goal will be to add velocity to the PM function, and to exchange best practices where needed.
• Afterwards… You will set up your own product team and lead it. You will get 1 to 3 Objectives and Key Results to achieve (for specified part of the overall product), and a product team to achieve the goals. From there, you will be mostly autonomous on how to achieve those goals.

We think about the Product Management role at this stage along these activities:

• Product discovery: Figure out what features need to be built.
• Work with Design: Collaborate with the Head of Design to produce designs, do 1on1s.
• Define tasks to be built: Write the tasks for the engineering team.
• Managing Engineering: Collaborate with the Engineering team, e.g. stand-ups, 1on1s.
• Manual testing: The PM role is currently doing the final manual testing before releasing.
• Other ad-hoc activities: such as planning how to scale the team, interviewing job candidates

Besides being relatively extreme in how results-oriented and hard-working we are, we are also very down-to-earth, practical and helpful. We also value highly contributions regardless of title or tenure. We hope you like those things as much as we do.
