Job description

About the Company Our client is a hyper-growth, seed-stage startup building the "TikTok of interactive mini-apps." They are pioneering a new consumer social platform where users scroll through a personalized feed of playable experiences and create their own content entirely through natural language. Their proprietary AI-powered creation flow transforms simple text prompts into highly engaging, shareable, and interactive experiences. Founded in 2023 and backed by world-class investors (including a16z, Khosla Ventures, Mayfield, and A*), the company has already scaled to over 1 Million Monthly Active Users (MAUs) with a nimble, high-caliber team of 30 people. This is a pure product-driven organization where PMs wield true autonomy over company strategy and direction. Why You Should Join • Shape a New Medium: Work at the absolute bleeding edge of consumer social, the creator economy, and generative AI. • True Product Autonomy: This is a PM-driven culture. You will own your OKRs and drive independent feature strategies—not just coordinate engineering tasks. • AI-Native Workflow: AI isn't an afterthought here; it's woven into the fabric of the product and daily operations. You will use advanced AI tooling every single day to accelerate your own output, build quick prototypes, and analyze data. • Direct Access & Impact: Flat organization reporting directly to the Chief of Staff and CEO, allowing you to move fast without layers of corporate bureaucracy. What You'll Do • Own Major Product Surfaces: Drive end-to-end strategy and product OKRs across core pillars like user growth, interactive creation tools, virality/sharing, and user retention. • Data-Driven Iteration: Constantly collect user feedback, formulate product hypotheses, and deep-dive into product analytics using tools like Amplitude and BigQuery to guide your roadmap. • Technical Prototyping: Actively leverage AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) to build rapid proof-of-concepts, run advanced SQL queries, and streamline your workflow. • Cross-Functional Shipping: Collaborate deeply with world-class Machine Learning and Core Engineering teams to scope, build, and ship high-impact features at startup speed. What We're Looking For Core Experience • Consumer-First Track Record: 3–7 years of PM experience specifically shipping high-engagement consumer mobile or social applications (B2B or enterprise-only backgrounds will not be a fit for this role). • AI Feature Delivery: Proven experience building or shipping user-facing AI capabilities. You must deeply understand how LLMs, prompt engineering, and agentic workflows function in practice. • Startup Scrappiness: Prior early-stage startup experience where you excelled in ambiguous environments, wore multiple hats, and moved from 0-to-1 quickly. Technical & Language Skills • AI Tooling Proficiency: You incorporate AI development assistants (like Cursor or Claude Code) into your daily workflow to independently build demos and run technical analyses. • Analytical Independence: Strong SQL skills and experience tracking consumer loops via Amplitude or BigQuery. You must be comfortable querying and interpreting your own data. • Bilingual Capability: Native or full professional fluency in Mandarin and English is strictly required. The engineering and product operations span across both US Pacific and China time zones. • Education: A STEM degree (Computer Science, Data Science, or Engineering) is highly preferred to establish a strong technical baseline with the engineering team.
