What we're building

Jiga is on a mission to help engineers build physical products faster.

The problem: engineers designing physical products waste weeks chasing quotes, vetting suppliers, and managing procurement instead of actually engineering. Jiga fixes this by connecting engineers directly with vetted manufacturers (CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, 3D printing). Think "npm install for mechanical engineers" - get the parts you need without the admin nightmare.

We're a small, fully-funded, cashflow-positive team serving enterprise customers like NASA, Google, Tesla, and Apple.

The role

We're looking for a senior product leader who can run our product function with full autonomy from day one. You'll be the one making calls on what we build and why, translating messy customer problems into simple solutions, and then make sure it is executed well, monitored and improved over time.

This isn't a "product manager reports to product manager reports to VP" situation. There's no product org to hide behind. You'll work directly with our CTO and engineering team, talk to customers weekly, and own the outcomes.

How we actually work

We’re a small remote team made up of the best of the best. Our team members are distributed around the globe. While most of our product and engineering talent is located in Europe and Israel, you’ll also work with people from the US and Asia. Most of our work is made async, which is the secret sauce of our success.

High trust, low bullshit: We don't count hours or peek over your shoulder on Slack. We trust you to get your work done and tell us when something's wrong. You'll have real ownership over what you build, no process theater, no busy-work meetings.

Question everything: See something that doesn't make sense? Say it. Have a better way to do something? Just do it. We actually mean it when we say we want people to challenge the status quo and improve things. Our internal motto is “Don’t drink the kool-aid”

No busy work, no fluff: “All we do is write code and talk to users” still works here. If you are addicted to heavy process building and endless busy-work meetings, that’s probably not a good fit.

Actually friendly, not corporate friendly: We play games online every week (current favorite: Make it Meme). Once a year we fly everyone somewhere beautiful for our offsite (Greece, here we come). We genuinely like hanging out together, which turns out to be way better than forced "team building exercises."

What we value in product and engineering:

Simple > Complicated. Simple code, simple architecture; Simple solutions are better than complex ones.

Ship it, then improve it. Perfection is the enemy of done. Launch now, iterate forever.

Product > Engineering. Every line of code should make our users' lives better. We're not here to show off our algorithmic prowess - we're here to solve real business problems.

Financials

Jiga is fully funded, cashflow positive, with growing revenue MoM. We're completely transparent about our runway and finances - ask us anything.

What you'll actually do

• Talk to customers, suppliers and stakeholders weekly to understand pain points (not just read reports about them)
• Define what we build next and why - then write specs engineers can actually execute on
• Analyze and monitor product usage data yourself (yes, you'll write SQL)
• Make tradeoff decisions independently without waiting for approval
• Work directly with engineering - go deep on technical constraints and possibilities
• Collaborate with sales and CS to understand deal blockers and churn reasons
• Kill or deprioritize things that aren't worth building
• Go deep into a complex problem’s rabbit hole and come back with a simple solution

What we're looking for

Must have:

• 5+ years in product, with at least 2 years as senior product lead or head of product
• B2B experience in one of the following industries: Supply chain, manufacturing, CAD design , logistics or marketplaces
• Startup experience (<50 people) - you know what "do everything" means
• Actually hands-on: you've done user research, written specs, prioritized backlogs yourself. Recently. Not five years ago before you "moved to strategy."
• Comfortable working data: SQL, dashboards, events analytics - you ask the right questions and find the answers yourself
• At least 4 hours overlap with GMT+3 working hours
• Can go deep when working with engineers
• Experience building AI-powered products - not chatbots slapped onto a landing page, but an actual value that is embedded into user’s workflow
• Strong UI/UX instincts - you have opinions about the details

Nice to have:

• Your past experience involved technical background (real experience building things), working hands on as a data analyst, or working hands on as in UX designer.
• Experience with physical products, supply chain, manufacturing, or hardware

You'll love it here if

• You're energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it. "Figure it out" sounds like freedom, not abandonment.
• You have strong opinions loosely held - you're decisive but update quickly when you're wrong
• You're low-ego, high-output. You do the grunt work, not just the strategy decks.
• You see gaps and fill them without being asked
• You say what you think. No corporate speak, no hedging, no "let's circle back."
• "If I can solve this without pulling in a dev, I'll just do it" is how you operate
• You're obsessively curious about manufacturing and how things get made

This might not be for you if

• You need a big team to manage to feel important
• You need meetings to get things moving
• You prefer clear requirements handed to you
• You like building consensus before making any decision
• "Move fast and break things" gives you anxiety
• You want to focus on "strategy" and have someone else handle the details
• You can’t operate without a clear process and hierarchy

What we offer

• A small team where you matter - we never compromise on people, that means you are part of the best team in the world.
• Zero bureaucracy - we hate process theatre as much as you do
• Real ownership and responsibility - make decisions, ship code, own the outcomes. Have real impact on the product from day 1.
• Complete flexibility - work from anywhere, set your own hours, take time off when you need it (parents especially welcome)
• Genuinely high trust - we trust you to do great work and be honest when things go sideways
• A team that actually likes each other - international, diverse, genuinely friendly people who enjoy working together
• Generous stock options - we’re looking for partners to run a marathon with us, you will get a life-changing shares when we get to the finish line
• Self-development budget for books, courses, conferences, whatever helps you grow
• Annual offsites in beautiful places
• Fast-paced environment with tons of creative freedom
• Hard, interesting problems with a team that's positioned to win big
