Senior Product Manager

About the Role

HyperDev is a funded early-stage startup building an AI-powered coding tool designed to transform how engineers work, learn, and ship. With a small but focused founding team across technical, operations, and commercial, we’re now looking for our first Head of Product (Founding Team Member) to own product direction and help turn our early foundations into a world-class developer product.

This role is designed for a builder . Maybe you’ve co-founded a startup, led product from zero-to-one, or shipped tools for developers yourself. You’ll be responsible for shaping HyperDev’s product vision, defining priorities, and working side by side with the founders and engineers to build something that genuinely changes how coding is done.

What You’ll Do

• Define and own the product vision and roadmap for HyperDev’s AI coding tool and platform.
• Prototype, validate, and ship fast — turning early ideas into live product and iterating quickly.
• Work hands-on with engineers and designers , and be comfortable going deep technically yourself.
• Obsess over the user experience — whether that’s developers using the tool day-to-day, or teams integrating it into their workflow.
• Balance technical depth and business needs — make pragmatic calls on what to build next without losing sight of ambition.
• Lay the groundwork for scale — setting up product practices and culture that will grow with HyperDev.
