Staff Product Manager

We’re Bolt.new by StackBlitz!

We’re the team that brought you WebContainers, the first-of-its-kind technology that made it possible to run Node.js right inside your browser. That breakthrough kicked off our journey in 2019, and it’s what powers the blazing-fast online IDE used by over 1 million developers every month.

But we didn’t stop there. We doubled down on everything we learned and built Bolt.new — the fastest way to go from idea to production without writing traditional code. It’s a next-gen, AI-powered app builder that helps you create, edit, and deploy full-stack web and mobile apps instantly, right in your browser. No installs. No setup. Just smart automation and instant dev environments that let you move at the speed of thought.

We’re a fully remote team, globally distributed, deeply collaborative, and seriously passionate about building the future of software development.

This is your chance to join a small team with a big vision. If you love shipping fast, solving real problems, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, we’d love to meet you.

Reports to Head of Product

Bolt is building the collaboration platform for the agentic era. Not a coding tool, not an AI wrapper, but a place where anyone with taste, judgment, and a problem worth solving can direct a team of AI agents to build real software and ship it. We're one of the fastest-growing products in software history, the scope ahead of us is enormous, and everyone we hire carries real weight.

We're looking for a senior product IC to work at the system level. That means no one hands you a roadmap. You look across the whole product, work out where the real problems are, and go and fix them. Some weeks, that's chasing down something quietly eating retention. Some weeks, it's untangling a journey that sprawls across three surfaces no one quite owns, or making the call on how a new capability should behave everywhere it shows up.

You'll work alongside a small product team that holds a high bar and moves quickly. This role suits someone who's done senior IC work at a product-led company, has genuine opinions about what makes software feel right, and does their best work when they're given room rather than a plan. If you're after a role where someone else defines the problems and hands you the steps, this isn't the one.

• Define product strategy for ambiguous, high-impact areas, making clear prioritization calls based on customer insight, product quality, business impact, and technical feasibility.
• Own complex, cross-surface initiatives from first diagnosis all the way to shipped. You own the work start to finish, not just scope it and pass it along.
• Live in the product the way a real user would, actually trying to build things, so you catch what's broken before customers do.
• Co-own the metrics that matter for your area, from activation and engagement through to retention and expansion, and use them to focus the team on the highest-leverage work.
• Lead discovery across users, customers, CX, Sales, and internal teams, turning qualitative signal, product usage data, and market context into sharp product judgment.
• Partner cross-functionally to navigate hard tradeoffs, create alignment, and ship high-impact work.
• Be responsible for the consistent look and feel of the product and ensure that it delivers value to different user groups, regardless of their technical abilities and use case.
• Turn what you're seeing into clear, written thinking the rest of the team can pick up and act on.
• Lift the standard of product thinking across the team, mostly by example.

• 7+ years in product, with at least a few of those spent operating at this level of scope and ambiguity.
• You've done senior IC product work in a product-led company and know how to create leverage without needing a large team or a perfect plan.
• You understand product-led growth. You can trace the line from a single product lever, activation, onboarding, or the right feature in front of the right user, all the way through to retention and revenue, and you reach for those levers by instinct.
• You have strong product judgment. You can tell when something feels off, understand why, and turn that instinct into a clear product direction.
• You're comfortable in the technical weeds. You don't need to write the code, but you do need to hold an honest conversation with an engineer about tradeoffs. Familiarity with developer tools and AI products is a big plus.
• You take real ownership. You move with urgency and hold the bar high without waiting for permission or a lot of structure around you.
• Strong verbal and written English communication skills are required, as this role involves frequent collaboration with team members, stakeholders, and customers, with English as the primary working language.

• You've built developer tools, AI products, or other technical products for a technical audience.
• You can still build yourself enough to prototype an idea roughly and make your point with it rather than just describe it.

• You do not need a college degree to apply

• You do not need to be located in the U.S. — we’re remote-friendly

• You do not need to meet every qualification listed above
