Location : 100% Remote. We hire anywhere within the U.S.
We're looking for a Product Manager who will own the product backlog for our flagship AutoTune product line. This is a highly tactical role-you'll be the critical bridge between product strategy and engineering execution. You'll work embedded within an Agile development team and be responsible for translating strategic initiatives into executable software work, balancing user value, technical quality, and delivery velocity. You'll write user stories, unblock engineers, and ensure we ship features that delight users.
This role requires someone who excels at the scrum role of product ownership-writing exceptional user stories, collaborating with a cross-functional team, and maintaining ruthless backlog clarity-while also understanding music software deeply enough to make smart sprint-level decisions and speak fluently with both engineers and users.
We're seeking candidates with a fresh perspective, modern product thinking, and exposure to best practices from consumer software, SaaS, creative tools, or other high-value product environments. What matters most is that you're passionate about great design-thinking product management and that you personally love making music.
