Responsibilities

  • Shape the core product roadmap and vision. In close partnership with leadership, shape both the near-term roadmap and the long-term vision for the coreChess.com experience, making the product more fun, engaging, and enjoyable for players at every level.
  • Identify what keeps players coming back, what causes them to leave, and what will delight them next.
  • Bring ideas and sharpen them with the team. Come with your own point of view on what's worth building and why. Engage with feedback from leadership and peers: internalize it, push back where you disagree, and use it to make the work better. The vision is built together; you're a strong, informed voice in it.
  • Operate in public. As a globally remote company spanning many time zones, async Slack communication is how decisions get made. Work out loud in channels: brainstorm openly, pose sharp questions, make decisive small calls with reasoning attached, and be explicit on what's urgent vs. not. Engage with depth and without…
  • Partner deeply with engineering, early and through to delivery. Shape the technical approach alongside engineering partners, write specs that are crisp on intent and honest about tradeoffs, and be a force driving through to execution. Unblock, reprioritize, and ship.
  • Own engagement metrics and move them. Define the metrics that matter for your area, build intuition for what drives them, and hold yourself accountable to moving them. Use data to prioritize ruthlessly, run experiments, and know when to trust your gut vs. wait for more signal.
  • Use AI to prototype, de-risk, and accelerate.
  • Build mocks, test flows, and pressure-test ideas yourself before engineering invests. Bring working artifacts into discussions, not just decks.
  • Build delightful, fun mechanics that keep players engaged. Improve retention by identifying and emphasizing the moments that matter most in a user's journey. Turn one-time visitors into daily players by giving them something to look forward to, something to work toward, and something to celebrate.
