Product Engineer

Our client is a high-growth, venture-backed Series B company operating at the intersection of gaming, crypto, and consumer entertainment. With 90M in total funding, they are seeking a Product Engineer to drive product strategy and roadmap for their new games and social platform development.

What You'll Do

• Own product strategy and roadmap. Define what we build, why we build it, and in what order —informed by player data, business goals, and competitive landscape.
• Write clear, opinionated PRDs that engineers can build from. You spec features with enough detail to be useful and enough restraint to leave room for craft.
• Build functional prototypes to validate ideas before committing engineering resources.
• Vibe-code working demos using AI tools — not wireframes, not slide decks, working software that people can click through.
• Run experiments and validate fast. Use prototypes, A/B tests, player feedback, and data to kill bad ideas early and double down on what works.
• Drive feature launches end-to-end. From discovery to spec to prototype to engineering handoff to ship to post-launch analysis. You own the full lifecycle.
• Define and track success metrics. GGR impact, player engagement, retention, conversion — you know what good looks like and you measure it ruthlessly.
• Use AI tools to move faster. Cursor, Claude, v0, Lovable — whatever gets an idea from your head into a clickable prototype fastest.

Who You Are

• 5 years in product management, product engineering, or a hybrid builder/PM role
• PM who builds. You don't just write specs and wait. When you have a product idea, your instinct is to open a code editor and prove it works. You're not a full-time engineer, but you can vibe-code a functional prototype that communicates the vision better than any document.
• AI-native product thinker. You use Cursor, Claude, v0, and similar tools as extensions of your product brain. AI isn't a line item on your resume — it's how you prototype, analyze, and iterate at a speed that traditional PMs can't match.
• Opinionated about player experience. You have strong taste. You know what makes a gaming product feel good — the flows, the timing, the friction points, the dopamine hits. You fight for the player experience in every decision.

Big Bonus

• Experience in online gaming, sports betting, or high-engagement consumer products — you understand the mechanics that drive player behavior
• Familiarity with Django/Python, HTMX, or web application frameworks — enough to prototype within our actual stack
• Background in growth, experimentation, or conversion optimization
• Experience as an early product hire at a startup — you've shaped product direction without a large team around you
• Understanding of regulated industries and the product constraints that come with compliance
