Job description

We are a venture-backed, stealth mode company building the next global dating and social platform. Our mission is to fight loneliness and redefine how people connect in the age of AI.

We're not building another dating app. We're creating an experience where users feel: "This app gets me."

Our team is led by founders with deep experience in launching and scaling dating apps globally as well as building scaled unicorn businesses from scratch. Backed by top institutional capital, we are a high-growth startup on the ground floor of an ambitious journey to create a brand and product that stands out from the crowded dating app landscape. Our unique approach combines deep cultural insight, AI, and a novel recommendation algorithm to deliver a social, fun, and effective dating experience, solving for both curation and scale, the holy grail in online dating.

We are well-funded and backed by marquee VCs in India and the US.

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, curious Associate Product Manager who wants to learn product by building it from scratch. You'll work side by side with the founders and senior PMs on a consumer social product used by real people every day.

This is a hands-on role with steep learning and real ownership. If you're passionate about dating and human relationships, love solving problems with data and user insight, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, this is for you.

What You'll Do

• Own specific features end to end, from problem definition and specs to launch and iteration
• Write clear PRDs and user stories, and work closely with engineering and design to ship quickly
• Talk to users regularly to understand their needs, pain points, and motivations
• Analyse product and behavioural data to find insights and opportunities
• Help design, run, and read A/B tests
• Define and track success metrics for the features you own
• Study competitors and the wider dating and social landscape for ideas and trends
• Support the founders and senior PMs on roadmap planning and cross-functional projects

Ideal Profile

Your superpowers are curiosity, deep user empathy, and a bias for action.

• Graduate from a Tier-1 institution (such as the IITs, IIMs, BITS Pilani, ISB, or equivalent); this is a must-have
• 0–2 years of experience in product, analytics, consulting, or a startup; strong freshers are welcome
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; comfortable working with data (SQL or Excel a plus)
• A genuine love for consumer products, with sharp opinions on what makes them great
• Exceptional ability to think from the user's perspective, especially people who are not exactly the same as you
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Technical curiosity and comfort working with engineering teams
• A self-starter who takes ownership and is comfortable with ambiguity

Bonus points for side projects, internships at consumer startups, or anything you've built and shipped yourself.

Why Join Us Now

• Join a founding team where your work is core to the product experience
• Learn product directly from founders who have built and scaled dating apps and unicorns
• Shape the future of how humans connect in the AI era
• Meaningful equity + competitive cash compensation
