Technical Product Manager

Technical Product Manager Optiveum is looking for a hands-on Technical Product Manager for a long-term, engaging project. The cooperation is based on a B2B contract directly with Optiveum. The Client - You will be working for a US-based technology company that builds a live consumer platform connecting communities through video, audio, text, and photos. - Alongside this, they are developing an emerging AI business that helps brands understand public conversations through transcription, media analysis, topic and entity detection, and sentiment analysis. The Role - This is a high-ownership product role with technical depth and direct user contact. - You will learn directly from creators, audiences, customers, and internal teams to identify the problems worth solving. - You will own the entire path from research and product decisions to clear designs, user stories, and post-launch learning. - We are looking for someone who is comfortable in a dynamic startup environment, able to lead customer conversations independently, and can turn feedback into clear, actionable recommendations. What you will do - Plan and conduct product discovery: interview creators, users, prospective customers, and internal stakeholders to test assumptions with evidence. - Synthesize conversations, usage signals, and market research into clear problem statements, user journeys, opportunities, and priorities. - Partner with design and engineering to explore solutions, sketch flows, define MVPs, and make trade-offs across user value, technical effort, risk, and speed. - Translate decisions into concise design briefs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical workflows that help engineers build with clarity. - Work closely with engineering on dependencies, APIs, data flows, AI/media capabilities, privacy, and reliability. - Test releases with users, measure adoption and friction, and use what you learn to improve onboarding, engagement, monetization, and retention. Expectations - Ideally 4-7 years of relevant experience, including at least 2-3 years owning product discovery and delivery for a software product (ideally in an early-stage or fast-moving team). - A technical background followed by a move into product works well too. - Technical fluency: you can discuss architecture and implementation choices with engineers, understand APIs and data flows, and write precise requirements without prescribing every solution. - Strong interviewing and synthesis skills – you are comfortable approaching users, asking useful questions, and changing your view when evidence changes. - Good product judgment and a bias for simple solutions. You know what to build now, what to test first, and what to defer. - Ability to collaborate across time zones and communicate clearly in English, both in writing and in live conversations. - Nice to have: Experience with consumer social or community products, creator tools, media workflows, subscriptions/monetization, or AI-assisted products. What is offered - Salary: Up to 30 USD net/h. - Contract: B2B directly with Optiveum. - Start: ASAP, long-term project. - Type of work: 100% Remote (Candidates must be based in Poland). - Working hours: Full-time, with dependable overlap required for working sessions and alignment with the US East Coast team, as well as availability for user interviews. Recruitment Process - Our recruitment process is straightforward and consists of two stages: - A take-home assignment to showcase your product judgment and technical fluency. - A final interview with the CEO.
