About You

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us create the next generation of thinking games: skill-based experiences that are elegant, fun, and deeply engaging. This role is for someone who blends excellent product taste, strong game design intuition, and a bias toward action, and who actively uses AI tools to prototype, test, and iterate quickly.

If you’re excited about building games that millions of people love, and using AI as a creative and execution multiplier, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll do

• Lead the creation of new mobile games from concept to launch
• Design and refine core game mechanics, progression systems, and retention loops
• Rapidly prototype ideas using AI-assisted tools (LLMs, no/low-code, simulations, mockups)
• Partner closely with engineering, design, and data to ship high-quality experiences
• Make thoughtful product decisions grounded in player psychology, metrics, and intuition
• Balance speed and craft—knowing when to move fast and when to sweat the details

Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of Product experience, ideally in games or consumer apps
• Strong understanding of gaming mechanics (loops, economies, incentives, UX)
• Excellent product taste—you know what feels good and what doesn’t
• Technically fluent: comfortable collaborating deeply with engineers and understanding systems, not afraid to read and produce code
• AI-native mindset: you already use AI to prototype, explore ideas, and accelerate execution
• Highly agentic: you don’t wait for perfect specs or permission to move forward
• Ability to build quick prototypes yourself (even if rough)
• Experience with skill-based games or learning-oriented products

About the Opportunity

• This is a full-time opportunity
• We are 100% remote (work from anywhere!)
