Full Job Description

📋 Description

• We are revolutionizing media and entertainment at Melotech, creating art through technology for humans to enjoy.
• In just 24 months, our work has been heard, watched and loved for over 3 billion minutes worldwide.
• Founded by entrepreneur and investor Soheil Mirpour, we are backed by top VCs Cherry Ventures, Speedinvest and GFC, alongside world-class angels from firms such as Spotify, Blackstone and KKR.
• We are building a brand-new consumer product from zero, and you are its founding product hire.
• You will define, prototype and ship the first version from a blank page, then own the loops that turn a first-time user into a daily one.
• Your tasks may include defining and shipping v1 of a new consumer product from scratch, prototyping fast and cutting anything that doesn't earn its place.
• You will own the product end to end, from user research to shipped features, across the full stack of the experience.
• You will live in the numbers: retention, DAU and the engagement loops that shape our trajectory.
• You will run user interviews constantly and turn what you hear into product people love.
• You will build with AI as a default primitive, not a bolt-on, using modern tools to go from idea to production-ready MVP at lightspeed.
• You will make bold product calls and creative bets that shape our roadmap and our company.
• We're looking for a builder who happens to be a product person, or a product person who can build.
• You've shipped consumer product that real people used and came back to, and you know exactly why they did.
• You've built and launched a B2C product at genuine engagement, ideally in music, media or streaming, though any high-engagement consumer product counts.
• You understand what locks users in: retention, engagement loops, habit formation.
• You are equal parts user-obsessed and numbers-driven.
• You come from an early-stage, high-growth consumer company, or you started one yourself.
• You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment.
• You're obsessed with music, video or social media.
• You are one of the first people on a brand-new product, inside an ambitious team that is changing the world of media and entertainment.
• Being this early means every decision you make shapes its trajectory.
• You're not a cog in the machine but the captain of your own ship, rewarded for performance and respected for leadership.
• Flat hierarchies mean that your voice matters, your ideas get implemented, and your impact is immediate.
• We pay competitive salaries and make you an owner of the business with equity.
• We work remotely to give you complete freedom over your life, while meeting regularly around the world for global offsites where we strategize, bond, and push boundaries together.

🎯 Requirements

• 3 or more years of experience, with real time as an engineer or working shoulder to shoulder with engineering
• You've built and launched a B2C product at genuine engagement, ideally in music, media or streaming, though any high-engagement consumer product counts
• You understand what locks users in: retention, engagement loops, habit formation
• Equal parts user-obsessed and numbers-driven
• AI-native, with AI woven through how you research, design and build
• You come from an early-stage, high-growth consumer company, or you started one yourself
• You thrive in a fast-paced and performance-oriented environment
• You're obsessed with music, video or social media
