Job description

The Mission We aren?t looking for a traditional corporate Product Owner who sits back and manages a stable, mature product line. We are building something brand new from scratch (0-to-1), and we need a Product Owner who thrives in chaos, turns ambiguity into a concrete roadmap, and can drive a product from a blank canvas to a successful market launch. Your mission is to own the MVP lifecycle. You will work side-by-side with engineering, design, and leadership to define the core features, strip away the noise, and ship a high-quality product that users love. This is a remote role for someone who embraces extreme ownership and is excited by the challenge of building in fast-moving industries like Web3, Gaming, Gambling, eSports, and highly engaged digital communities. We value momentum, raw product judgment, and execution over rigid corporate frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• MVP Scoping & Definition: Take high-level, ambiguous business concepts and ruthlessly prioritize them into a lean, actionable Minimum Viable Product (MVP) specification.
• Backlog Architecture & Execution: Build the product backlog from scratch. Write crystal-clear user stories, define acceptance criteria, and run efficient sprint cycles to keep engineering moving fast.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Serve as the central hub connecting Engineering, Design, and Leadership. Ensure the design team isn't over-engineering UI and the development team is building the right core architecture.
• 0-to-1 Risk Management: Identify technical, design, and market risks early. Pivot fast when technical blockers arise without losing sight of the launch deadline.
• Go-To-Market Ready: Partner with marketing and operations to prepare the product for its first wave of real users, establishing the initial analytics and feedback loops.

Requirements

• The 0-to-1 Builder: Proven experience taking a digital product from absolute concept to public launch in a startup or high-growth environment.
• Ruthless Prioritization: The ability to say "no" to good ideas so you can focus on the vital ideas required for launch.
• High Technical Literacy: You aren't coding, but you deeply understand web/mobile architecture, APIs, and technical trade-offs. You can hold your own in a room full of engineers.
• Design Partnership: Strong collaboration skills with UX/UI designers. You know how to guide design sprint cycles without stifling creativity.
• Startup Grit: You thrive when resources are tight, deadlines are real, and guidelines don't exist. You create the process; you don't wait for one.
