Role

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. 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.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end product roadmap for the video platform, from ingestion and encoding to playback and seller tooling.
• Define and execute against SLAs for quality, reliability, and latency.
• 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.

You

• 8+ years of product management experience with a track record of shipping complex, technical products at scale.
• 2+ years building video experiences (e.g., livestreaming, interactive broadcasts).
• Deep understanding of the dynamics of live vs. asynchronous video: latency/Presence, concurrency, failure modes, moderation, and seller workflows.
• Data-driven decision maker who can define the right KPIs, instrument platforms, and run experiments to drive measurable outcomes.
• Excellent collaboration and communication across disciplines and levels.
