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!)
