Job Description

10 months ago, my co-founder and I were broke AF 😂

We were literally days away from moving back to our parents' basements because our AI tool was making a whopping $500/month. Nobody believed in it except us. Fast forward to today: we just hit $500,000/month and Now we're building toward a $1B valuation, and this is where YOU come in.

Hi, I'm Naz, co-founder of Poppy AI.

We built the world's first multiplayer AI platform where you can drag & drop YouTube videos, PDFs, voice notes, and images all in one place and collaborate with your team Figma-style! We're helping content creators, founders, and marketers make VIRAL content & ads while saving 100's of hours per month! 🚀

We're incredibly grateful to have over 5,000+ amazing customers with just a 3% refund rate, and about 35% of our sales come from word-of-mouth referrals. The product resonates with people, but we need a Technical Project Manager.

A Technical Project Manager who can help us scale to the next level!

Your goal: Help us get to $1 million/month in the next six months.

The Role: Leading Teams That Build Epic Shit

Imagine this scenario:

You're looking at our system architecture and you see how we could 10x our scalability with some strategic changes. Or you're talking to a customer and realize there's a feature that would save them 50 hours a month.

What do you do next?

If you wait for someone to tell you exactly what to prioritize, this job isn't for you.

If you immediately start planning the technical roadmap, organizing your team around the solution, and can't wait to ship it to our users – we want to talk to you.

❌ Who This Is NOT For:

You're looking for "work-life balance" and want to clock out at 5pm

You've never led a team through high-growth scaling challenges

You get annoyed when you receive urgent messages about production issues

You have a huge ego and don't listen to customer feedback

You don't like learning new AI technologies or adapting quickly

You need constant direction and can't figure out technical solutions independently

You're looking for a chill environment where you can coast

You complain when priorities shift based on customer needs

You're not willing to put in the work now for massive equity rewards later

✅ Who This IS For:

Leading teams of 5-10+ developers feels natural to you

You've scaled products from thousands to tens of thousands of users

You've talked to 100+ customers and love understanding their pain points

You respond to critical issues at any hour because uptime matters

You're constantly learning new technologies and sharing knowledge with your team

You listen to feedback but aren't afraid to push back with data

You figure out complex technical challenges without needing your hand held

You thrive in high-pressure, fast-moving startup environments

You see scaling challenges as opportunities to prove your leadership

You're someone who will work their face off to build the best product ever

Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like:

Leading daily stand-ups and sprint planning for our dev team

Owning our technical architecture and making sure we're building for massive scale

Getting on calls with customers to understand their needs and prioritize features

Maintaining high code quality through reviews and testing protocols

Facilitating communication between dev, customer support, and leadership teams

Strategizing on new features that will save users hundreds of hours

Hiring and mentoring engineers as we scale the team

Making technical decisions that will support our path to $1B valuation

Who You Are (Specifically):

You've successfully led teams of 5-10+ developers through scaling challenges

You've been part of scaling products from 5K to 10K+ active customers

You've hired around 10 engineers and know what great talent looks like

You've worked at startups during high-growth phases (not just big tech)

You have experience with AI tools and modern web technologies

You're an excellent communicator who can work across all teams

You don't just manage – you lead by example and get in the code when needed

You believe in both mental and physical strength – weak body, weak mind isn't your style

The Poppy Team Culture (This Isn't Your Average Startup):

We just flew the entire team to Thailand where we rented a massive 5-bedroom villa with a huge pool. We worked our asses off during the day and played volleyball in the pool during breaks.

We're a team of savages who work 12-15 hours a day because we're obsessed with building something huge. We don't do the 4-hour workweek bullshit – we're building an empire.

We travel together to epic locations. Next up: Italy, Mexico, and Colombia. You'll have the opportunity to join us in these locations to work and bond with the team.

Physical training is a core part of our culture. We train Muay Thai and lift weights together. We believe in getting strong in your bank account, your muscles, and your mind.

When we hit big milestones, we celebrate big. But most days, we're heads down working harder than any team you've ever seen.

How to Apply:

Email me a Loom to jobs@getpoppy.ai with "Technical Project Manager - [Your Name]" in the subject. But listen – I don't just want to hear about your management philosophy.

SHOW ME YOUR LEADERSHIP RESULTS.

Tell me about teams you've led and how you scaled them

Share examples of products you've helped scale (with real numbers)

Show me how you've solved complex technical and people challenges

Describe how you've hired and developed engineering talent

Give me examples of how you've worked with customers to prioritize features

We need to fill this role in the next 2-3 weeks, so don't wait!

P.S. If you're still reading this, you're probably the kind of leader who doesn't give up easily. We don't care about your fancy MBA or big tech titles - we care if you can lead a team to build amazing products that our users love. If that's you, email us now!
