If you like  owning outcomes, shipping weekly, and sweating details , keep reading.

What you’ll own

You will own  core product surfaces  from problem → solution → impact.

Examples:

• Activation & onboarding flows (first 24h experience)
• Retention loops (day 7 / day 30)
• Auto-Apply workflows (quality, confidence, transparency)
• Core dashboard UX and system clarity
• Monetisation & plan boundaries (what users  actually  understand)

You will:

• Identify the  highest-leverage product problems
• Define the  simplest possible solution
• Build it  yourself  (Laravel + frontend)
• Measure impact and iterate quickly

What you’ll do day-to-day

Product

• Turn fuzzy problems into clear, testable product bets
• Kill ideas that don’t move activation, retention, or revenue
• Write concise specs  only when useful  (often a few bullets is enough)
• Make trade-offs without needing consensus

Engineering

• Ship production-quality Laravel code
• Improve and extend existing systems (not rewrite for fun)
• Work directly with Stripe, analytics, AI workflows, queues, cron jobs
• Debug real user issues, not theoretical ones

Data & outcomes

• Think in  funnels, cohorts, and deltas
• Obsess over activation, retention, LTV, and churn
• Use data to decide  what not to build
• Own results, not just delivery

Required background

You must have:

• 5+ years experience with  Laravel  in production
• Strong SQL and backend fundamentals
• Frontend competence (enough to ship clean UX without hand-holding)
• Experience owning features end-to-end in a real product
• Product intuition grounded in  user behaviour , not opinions
• Bias toward  speed, clarity, and simplicity

You likely have:

• Worked at an early-stage or scaling SaaS
• Strong opinions about bad UX and bloated products
• Shipped things that materially moved metrics
• Little patience for bureaucracy

What we explicitly don’t want

• “Pure” PMs who don’t build
• Process-heavy frameworks without output
• Jira theatre and over-documentation
• People optimising for optics over impact
• People uncomfortable saying “no”
