Job Title: Product Manager (Individual Contributor Role)

Function: Mobile Product Management

About the Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to lead the end-to-end development of a next-generation mobile keyboard application. This role sits at the intersection of mobile product experience, text input UX, AI/ML, and system-level integrations. You'll define the product vision, craft the roadmap, own execution, and work closely with engineering, design, and data teams to build an intuitive, high-performance keyboard that users love.

Key Responsibilities

Product Strategy & Vision

  • Define the long-term product vision for the mobile keyboard experience, including AI-powered text suggestions, predictive typing, voice input, autocorrect, emojis/ GIFs, and personalization features.
  • Identify market gaps, user needs, and emerging trends in mobile input methods.
  • Prioritize features using data, user research, and business objectives.

Roadmap & Execution

  • Create detailed product specifications, user flows, and edge cases for iOS and Android keyboard functionality.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering on architecture trade-offs related to low-latency input, memory footprint, language models, privacy, and OS-level constraints.
  • Work with designers to craft a world-class UX with strong emphasis on typing speed, accessibility, and accuracy.
  • Drive sprint planning, backlog grooming, and release cycles to ensure timely delivery.

User Research & Analytics

  • Conduct usability studies, A/B tests, and competitive analyses to optimize typing efficiency and user satisfaction.
  • Define KPIs such as typing speed improvements, suggestion accuracy, retention, crash rate, latency, and user engagement.
  • Implement a feedback loop using in-app analytics, user interviews, and telemetry to continuously improve the product.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Partner with ML teams to integrate language models, generative AI suggestions, personalization engines, and multilingual support.
  • Ensure engineering, QA, design, and data teams are aligned on goals and milestones.
  • Work with marketing and growth teams on go-to-market, positioning, and rollout plans.

Compliance, Security & Privacy

  • Ensure the keyboard app meets strict privacy standards, including no unauthorized data collection, opt-in personalization, and transparent data practices.
  • Collaborate with legal and security teams to ensure compliance with OS policies (Apple/Google), GDPR, and other app-store guidelines.

Qualifications

Required

  • 37 years of product management experience in mobile apps or consumer tech.
  • Strong understanding of iOS/Android development constraints and system architecture.
  • Experience building UX-heavy, high-frequency consumer products.
  • Ability to write clear PRDs, define detailed feature requirements, and map edge cases.
  • Data-driven mindset with proficiency in analytics tools.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred

  • Prior experience working on keyboard apps, messaging apps, AI writing tools, or system-level utilities.
  • Familiarity with NLP, LLMs, predictive text, and on-device ML.
  • Understanding of accessibility standards (multi-language support, voice typing, haptics).
  • Technical background (CS degree or equivalent experience).

Success Metrics

  • Reduction in typing latency and error rates.
  • Improved suggestion acceptance rates and typing efficiency.
  • High user retention and daily active usage.
  • Smooth OS compatibility and compliance.
  • Delivery of AI features with measurable user impact.

What You'll Get

  • Ownership over a deeply technical, high-impact product used multiple times per day.
  • Opportunity to shape the future of mobile typing and AI-assisted communication.
  • Collaborative environment with engineers, designers, and AI researchers.
