The roleMost product managers sit between engineering and design. This role sits between engineering, design, and the client. You will own the product end-to-end — from the first discovery call with an enterprise client to the moment something ships and works in production.
If you are not deeply energized by both building product and talking to customers, this role will not be a good fit.
Work style & expectations- Fully remote
- 6 days a week, 9 hours/day
- Fast timelines, real deadlines, real ownership
- Daily collaboration with founders, engineers, and enterprise clients
What you'll do- Own the full product lifecycle — discovery, scoping, prioritization, delivery, and iteration
- Lead client discovery calls and translate business requirements into clear technical scopes
- Work directly with engineers daily to ensure what's being built matches what was promised
- Write specs that are precise enough for engineers to build from without back-and-forth
- Identify gaps between what clients ask for and what they actually need — and solve for the latter
- Manage client relationships through delivery, handling escalations and expectation-setting
- Shape the product roadmap across Vihara's internal tools and client-facing systems
- Contribute to how we pitch, scope, and price new engagements
Tech stack / tools- Deep technical fluency — you don't need to code, but you must understand how systems are built
- Exceptional client communication with enterprise clients and senior stakeholders
- Precise written communication — specs, briefs, and proposals that need minimal revision
- AI-native product thinking — agents, workflows, and what AI can and cannot do
- Figma — enough to review designs critically and communicate product intent clearly
What we're looking for- You have shipped real software products, not just managed roadmaps
- You have worked directly with technical teams and understand engineering constraints intuitively
- You have managed external clients or enterprise stakeholders under real pressure
- You think in systems — edge cases, failure modes, dependencies, and second-order effects
- Strong written and verbal communication with extremely high attention to detail
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to move fast without being told what to do
Bonus- Background in software engineering or a technical discipline
- You are extremely technical
- Experience talking to enterprise clients
- Exposure to AI agent workflows, LLMs, or enterprise automation
