Job details:
Background - You've worked in US SaaS. Whether on an H1B, L1, or as part of a US-based team — you've operated inside a US software company serving US customers, and you understand that market firsthand.
You want to build great product? I mean something so great that users, subconsciously or consciously think "Wow someone thought about this".... You want to make a name. You want the badge of taking a startup to $1M ARR. Read on.
Founding Product Manager
We're a US-based, bootstrapped SaaS startup with **100,000+ registered users** and **thousands of paid subscribers** — including **Yale**, **Boston University**, **local government teams**, and the **Toronto Raptors**. Three full-time people. A bench of contractors doing the rest. Punching well above our weight.
We're hiring our first Product Manager.
The Pitch
If you've been a PM at a US SaaS startup — ideally one of the first five PMs there — and you made real impact but never got the spotlight or title to match, this is the role where you build the case. Direct ownership. Customers at institutions people respect. A founder who wants you to run.
This is *not* product strategy ownership on day one — the founder still owns vision. But it's a real path, not a permanent ceiling. Strong fit, and the scope grows.
This is a **Product** Manager role, not a project manager role. If you want to run tickets while someone else makes the calls, keep scrolling.
How We Work
- **Maniacal about details.** The tooltip wording, the half-second delay, the polish on the flow.
- **Customer-obsessed.** We read every support chat. Every churn note.
- **Ship every single day.** That's the velocity.
- **Hungry.** In a we-actually-want-to-win way.

You'll Own
Backlog, 3-to-6-month roadmap, PRDs with tight edge cases, sprint rituals, bug triage, customer feedback loops, customer-facing writing (release notes, churn replies, in-app comms), QA sign-off, and product analytics. You'll separate strategic from urgent, signal from noise.
You'll also make a contractor-heavy engineering bench productive — which means crystal-clear briefs and earning respect without management leverage.

You
- **Technical.** Don't write prod code, but read it without flinching. Implementation details don't scare you.
- **First-principles thinker** with **taste**. You can tell the difference between done and good.
- **Former founder or first-five PM** at a US SaaS startup. You've worked closely with founders and know the texture — scattered priorities, low clarity, minimal process.
- **Funnel-obsessed.** PLG DNA. Activation, TTV, drop-off are second nature.
- **Swiss Army knife.** Ticket, bug, wireframe, SQL query, customer reply — you do it yourself.
- **Strong communicator and listener.** With engineers, customers, the founder. There's nowhere to hide here if you can't write and talk well.
- **Biased toward action.** Confident calls on 60% of the data.
- **High empathy, low ego.**
Not You
- The **Big Tech PM** with a research/analyst/design pod.
- The **Framework PM** evangelizing SAFe or heavy Scrum.
- The **"CEO of the Product"** showing up to redirect strategy on day one.
- The **Project Manager** in a PM hat.
In 6 Months
In a product that the market segment can't live without, they are hooked on it. The product-market-fit meter is so tilted toward a "mature product market fit" that we can't even fullfil software delivery.
