Product Manager, Video
About The Position
Whatnot is seeking a Product Manager to lead the strategy, vision, and execution for our core video platform—the engine that powers real-time, commerce-driven livestreaming. As the most senior IC PM for video, you’ll own the infrastructure, UX, and developer surface area that enables thousands of sellers to go live, millions of users to watch, and seamless transactions to happen in real time. You will partner closely with engineering, design, infra, and seller-facing teams to scale our low-latency video systems, evolve our broadcast and viewing experience, and enable new formats. Your work will shape the future of livestream and video based shopping. We offer flexibility to work from home or from one of our global office hubs, and we value in-person time for planning, problem-solving, and connection. Team members in this role must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, or Seattle hubs.
Requirements
