Why this grade
This listing scored 90/100, which is an A. It lost the most ground on corroboration.
- Pay transparency 25 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Freshness 15 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
- Remote clarity 15 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 10 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Corroboration 5 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Product Director Senior Manager Full Time
Askdodo · San Francisco / Bay Area (in-person preferred)
Full-time · Equity + Salary
The best AI shouldn’t live behind a closed wall. Askdodo is building consumer AI on frontier open-source models — so users get cutting-edge capability without being locked into one lab’s stack.
Privacy is how we ship it: no surveillance tax, user control, private by design. Open models are the mission; privacy is the foundation that makes that mission trustworthy.
We’re hiring a founding Product Manager — someone early in their career who can own product end-to-end with the founders. Marketing and public brand stay with the founding team; you make the product impossible to leave.
What you’ll do
Own core product loops: chat + API experience, onboarding, retention, and privacy UX that users actually understand
Turn “private by design” into clear product decisions (not marketing copy)
Ship fast with eng — specs, prioritization, experiments, launch notes
Talk to users (power users, privacy-conscious builders, early adopters) and turn signal into roadmap
Partner with founders on positioning when product needs a public narrative
Must-haves
Technical background (CS / eng / math / physics degree or equivalent technical work)
Experience or internships at an AI / consumer software company (or shipping consumer products with real users)
Passion for consumer products — you obsess over craft, clarity, and delight
Comfortable in US / Bay Area startup culture
Early-career founding energy (new grad to ~2–4 years) — IC who still ships, not a process PM
Curious about open source LLMs and privacy
Nice-to-haves
Built or shipped an AI feature, agent workflow, or consumer app (0→1 signal)
Comfortable reading technical docs / APIs (OpenAI-compatible stacks a plus)
Cross-cultural experience
Some public presence (writing, demos, podcasts) is a bonus
Not a fit
Pure brand / CMO / social-first marketers (founders cover that)
Enterprise B2B PMs with no consumer DNA
Non-technical PMs who can’t partner deeply with eng
Big-co process owners who need heavy process to move

Your résumé
A short note on one consumer or AI product you shipped (or would ship) and why open-source LLMs matter to you
