Tether Operations Limited

10h•Remote

About The Position

Tether is hiring a Senior Technical Product Manager to own the vision and execution of Keet, a peer-to-peer messaging and video calling app built on Holepunch’s P2P stack. Keet enables direct communication with end-to-end encryption and no servers, middlemen, or data harvesting. The role is responsible for defining a path to one billion users and competing with major messaging platforms. It combines product strategy, technical leadership, rapid prototyping, and hands-on delivery; it is not a maintenance or strategy-only position. The successful candidate will define and communicate product direction, develop growth plans, and work closely with engineering on the technical and product challenges of peer-to-peer communication. They will own the real-time calling experience, lead product planning and execution across teams, and oversee releases on mobile and desktop. They are expected to stay closely involved in tickets, dependencies, risks, and quality, and to use AI coding and design tools to prototype concepts quickly. The role is remote and involves collaboration across Tether and the Holepunch ecosystem. The company describes its environment as global, lean, fast-moving, and high-intensity, and says the role may require extended hours when the mission demands it.

Requirements

At least 8 years of product management experience, including significant senior or lead experience owning a consumer product end to end.
A proven record of setting product vision and achieving measurable outcomes at scale, with tens of millions of users or more.
Experience leading engineers and running predictable sprint cadences across cross-functional teams.
Strong JavaScript and React skills, including the ability to read and write production code, review pull requests, and build working prototypes.
Ability to reason about distributed and local-first systems, including synchronization, offline behavior, and consistency trade-offs.
Hands-on experience shipping and scaling iOS and Android apps, including familiarity with App Store and Google Play processes and release management.
Experience with real-time voice and video calling products and their quality, latency, and reliability trade-offs.
Demonstrated ability to use AI tools to prototype and demonstrate product concepts rapidly.
Exceptional communication skills, including experience presenting vision and strategy to boards, executives, and investors.
Sound judgment in balancing urgency and importance and making fast, high-quality decisions with incomplete information.
Ability to thrive in a high-intensity, fast-moving environment, set a high bar, and work extended hours when required by the mission.
Excellent written and spoken English.
