Role
Whatnot is seeking a senior 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.

- Collaborate with infrastructure, client, and ML teams to optimize video delivery and viewer experience
- Drive integrations with interactive features (e.g., chat, auctions, overlays) to deepen engagement
- Partner with sellers and internal teams to understand pain points and translate them into scalable video solutions
- Establish product metrics and experimentation frameworks to validate performance and user impact
