Senior Product Manager

Wippi is building a screen-free AI companion for kids, where stories, characters and learning come alive through voice and conversational AI.

Our product sits at the intersection of consumer electronics, software and GenAI — combining a physical device with content, voice and intelligent interactions.

The Role

We’re looking for a Principal/Senior Product Manager to own Wippi’s end-to-end software-powered device experience and kid engagement.

You’ll take products and features from idea → prototype → shipped experience, working across firmware, device orchestration, backend/cloud, frontend and AI teams.

You’ll own the software experience of the device — not mechanical or industrial hardware development.

What You’ll Own

• Device Experience: Own how kids interact with Wippi — engagement, usability, responsiveness and reliability.
• Firmware Product: Define product requirements for firmware and electronics-facing experiences.
• Device Orchestration: Own the software layer connecting the device with cloud, content and AI systems.
• GenAI Experiences: Build conversational, storytelling and learning experiences using LLMs, speech and generative AI.
• End-to-End Features: Drive features across firmware → backend → AI → app, rather than owning just one layer.
• Rapid Prototyping: Think like a product engineer — use vibe coding and AI tools to hack prototypes, test ideas and validate experiences quickly.
• Product Metrics: Own activation, kid engagement, repeat usage and retention.

What We’re Looking For

• 4–7 years of product / technical product experience.
• At least 3 years building consumer products.
• Must have built and shipped GenAI-powered consumer products or meaningful GenAI consumer features.
• Strong understanding of LLMs, AI workflows, APIs and modern software architecture.
• Product-engineer aptitude: comfortable getting hands-on, vibe coding and building working prototypes.
• Strong technical aptitude and ability to work deeply with engineering teams.
• Experience taking consumer products 0→1 and scaling them beyond launch.
• IoT experience is not required — but curiosity about electronics, firmware and how physical products work will be a strong advantage.
• Strong product judgment, prioritisation and bias for shipping.

Why Join Wippi

• Category-defining product: Build at the intersection of GenAI × consumer electronics × kids × storytelling.
• High ownership: Own a critical product surface from idea → prototype → launch → engagement.
• Build, not coordinate: Vibe code, prototype, experiment and ship — not just write PRDs.
• Unique technical exposure: Work across GenAI, voice, firmware, cloud and consumer software in a single product.
• 0→1 opportunity: Shape experiences, architecture and product thinking while the company is still early.
• Global ambition: Build an AI-native consumer product from India for a global market.
• Founder access & equity: Work directly with the founders with meaningful ownership and long-term equity upside.
