We are a lean, high-growth technology & AI venture, building enterprise and consumer-facing AI products across India, UAE, and the US. As we move from prototype to scalable product, we are looking for a hands-on Product Manager who was a developer until recently and transitioned into Product Management in the last 1–2 years. This role requires strong technical depth, the ability to think like an engineer, and the mindset of a product owner who can drive clarity, execution, and rapid iteration. Key Responsibilities - Own and drive the end-to-end product lifecycle: ideation, requirements, MVP definition, development, launch, iteration, and scale. - Define product vision, roadmap, and priorities in close partnership with founders and key stakeholders. - Translate business and customer needs into clear product requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and backlog prioritization. - Work deeply with engineering teams (frontend, backend, QA, AI/ML, and UI/UX) to ensure feasibility, quality, and timely delivery. - Leverage your prior developer experience to review technical approaches, understand architecture trade-offs, APIs, data flows, and performance constraints. - Act as the bridge between business and engineering—ensuring clarity, speed, and alignment, especially during the pilot phase. - Define, track, and improve product metrics and KPIs (usage, adoption, performance, user feedback, reliability). - Drive agile execution: sprint planning, reviews, backlog grooming, and release planning. - Collaborate with stakeholders across business, operations, sales, and customer teams to manage expectations and ensure alignment. - Support go-to-market activities including documentation, release notes, and early customer feedback loops. Required Qualifications & Skills - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science / Engineering or equivalent technical discipline. - Strong prior experience as a software developer, with a transition into a Product Manager role within the last 1–2 years. - Hands-on understanding of both frontend and backend systems: - Frontend: modern web frameworks, UX considerations, performance tradeoffs. - Backend: APIs, databases, system architecture, integrations, scalability. - Ability to comfortably deep-dive with engineers and challenge or validate technical decisions. - Working knowledge of AI/ML-driven products, data pipelines, or LLM-based systems is a strong plus. - Experience working in startup or early-stage environments, preferably on products built from the ground up. - Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; data-driven approach to decisionmaking. - Excellent communication skills—able to articulate technical concepts to nontechnical stakeholders. - Comfortable with ambiguity, rapid change, and wearing multiple hats. Desirable / Nice-to-Have - Exposure to SaaS, enterprise B2B, or AI-first products. - Experience working with or building products for India and/or Middle East (UAE) markets. - MBA or formal product management training is a plus (but not mandatory). Ideal Candidate Profile - A former engineer turned Product Manager, still close to the code and deeply technical. - Someone who enjoys building from zero to one, not just optimizing mature products. - Comfortable switching between strategy and execution, vision and detail. - Collaborative, decisive, and ownership-driven. - Motivated by impact, learning, and growth rather than rigid role boundaries. What We Offer - Opportunity to play a foundational role in shaping a core product and company direction. - High ownership, visibility, and direct collaboration with founders. - Exposure to global markets (India, UAE, US). - Competitive compensation with base + performance bonus + equity/ESOPs. - Fast-paced environment with real responsibility and rapid learning.
