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
How to apply
Apply via Handshake / Crimson Careers, or email with:
• Your résumé
• A short note on one consumer or AI product you shipped (or would ship) and why open-source LLMs matter to you
About the Company:
AskDoDo is a frontier AIGC and AI Agent platform that prioritizes high degrees of freedom and extreme privacy protection. We target core overseas markets including Europe, the US, Japan, and Korea, offering end-to-end generation services across text, images, video, and novels.
We uphold “Uncensored Capability” as a core value. Built on anonymity, end-to-end encryption, transparent routing, and deeply integrated open-source models, we commit to collecting no user data and completely eliminating privacy risks.
Our vision is to build a powerful multi-model Coding-Agent that enables AI to autonomously complete complex tasks in real code and tool environments — becoming a truly trusted and empowering productivity tool for developers and creators worldwide.
Why Join Us
• Own the core, not a cog: You will lead the end-to-end development of the AI Agent layer from 0 to 1 — defining how AI autonomously completes tasks in real environments and directly shaping AskDoDo’s most critical user experience.
• Flat structure, top-tier rewards: Extremely flat team (Shanghai office) with direct reporting to the business lead. We are strictly merit-based and offer highly competitive compensation (benchmarked against core levels at major tech companies, with a million-RMB annual base) plus significant early-stage equity.
• Proven DNA, unlimited upside: The founding team has validated overseas B2C success and a clear commercial path. As a member of the early elite team, your career growth and leadership opportunities have no ceiling.
• Pure geek vision: This is a geek’s mission to defend technical freedom and privacy. Push the limits of AI autonomous coding with the hardest-core technology and deliver truly secure Privacy AI to users worldwide.
