POSITION INFO:

What You’ll Do

As our Technical Project Manager, you’ll be the bridge between wild ideas and clean execution. You'll work closely with product, design, and engineering to keep projects running like a Swiss watch.

Drive sprint planning, standups, retros, and delivery timelines
Translate product vision into actionable engineering roadmaps
Coordinate across teams and time zones to remove blockers
Keep Jira (and our souls) in order
Own communication - internal and external - on what's being built, by who, why, and when
Track progress, scope creep, and the occasional meltdown (we’re all human)
Help the team move fast without breaking everything (only some things)

What You Bring

You’re not just a project manager. You’re a tech whisperer, chaos wrangler, and execution machine.
3 years+ in technical project management (preferably in startups or high-growth products)
Strong understanding of modern software development cycles (bonus if you’ve shipped social or consumer platforms)
Excellent communicator - clear, concise, and unafraid to say "no"
Experience with tools like Jira, Notion, Slack, Figma, and GitHub
Able to balance speed and quality without losing your mind
Comfortable working async, remote, and in ambiguity
You give a damn. About the product, the people, and the mission

Why Join Us?

You’ll be early. Like, really really early working on a brand new Stealth Product that will be used by millions on the day of launch.
You’ll have a voice, not just a task list
You'll help reshape how millions of people build identity and community online
We move fast, but we care deeply
Oh, and did we mention... we don’t do boring?
