As a Manager, Product Development at C1, you’ll lead small, high-ownership engineering teams that build and ship the features driving our product forward. You’ll be accountable for execution, quality, and delivery — guiding teams from concept through production to create experiences that delight customers and advance the business. You’ll hire and develop exceptional engineers, foster a culture of autonomy and accountability, and ensure that your teams have the clarity, focus, and support needed to move fast and ship with confidence. Above all, you’ll be responsible for building the people, processes, and rhythm that make great product development happen.

• Lead and manage small, high-ownership engineering teams responsible for building and shipping product features that delight customers.

• Drive execution from concept to production, ensuring teams deliver high-quality, impactful features on schedule.

• Collaborate closely with Product and Design to define clear goals, balance trade-offs, and deliver seamless user experiences.

• Empower engineers to take end-to-end ownership of their services — from design through operation — fostering a culture of accountability, autonomy, and craftsmanship.

• Own hiring and team-building efforts to scale C1’s product development organization for long-term success.

• Shape the structure and composition of teams as the organization grows, ensuring clear ownership boundaries and effective collaboration.

• Establish lightweight, effective processes that enable fast iteration while maintaining product quality and reliability.

• Mentor engineers and tech leads, supporting their growth as technical leaders and product thinkers.
