Senior Product Manager (Jira / Linear Power-User) - YC Fintech (15 UA team members)

Respaid.com - Y Combinator S23 | AI-Native FinTech | Remote

Who we are

Respaid unlocks hidden B2B revenue through respectful, AI-powered debt collection. 20 people spread across the US & Europe – including 10 Ukraine-based engineers – ship weekly thanks to Linear, GPT-4 agents and full-stack automation. Backed by Y Combinator plus founders of Dropbox & Docker.

Why this will excite you

• Linear beats Jira – we run the same stack as OpenAI; you’ll ramp to “power-user” in 1 day.

• Ship pilots in hours – V0/Replit first, double-down only when KPIs prove value.

• AI-supercharged teammates – devs use Cursor & cloud IDEs; productivity ×10 is the norm, not the exception.

• Path to CPO – out-execute, out-learn, step into exec shoes.

• Ukraine-centric engineering culture with SF-based CEO; tight timezone overlap (GMT +2/+3).

What you’ll tackle

• Turn Slack chaos → dev-ready Linear tickets (acceptance + one KPI per issue).

• Archive / split / kill 100+ stale backlog items; enforce the 3-hour v1 rule.

• Orchestrate the “connect 600 accounting softwares” initiative – from credential hack v1 to API/RAG vN.

• Instrument Mixpanel funnels, design A/Bs, automate weekly KPI digests.

• Replace manual status pings with webhook + AI summaries (n8n dev at your service).

Day-to-day ownership

• Backlog hygiene, cycle scoping, initiative road-mapping.

• Dashboard & alert design for product KPIs.

• User interviews, problem/solution validation, versioning cadence.

• Keep docs & runbooks living (Notion / Mintlify).

Must-have super-powers

• 2-5 yrs PM in SaaS/FinTech (less if you’re a provable wizard).

• Crystal-clear written English.

• Hands-on with Linear or demonstrable 24-h mastery curve (Jira/ClickUp ok).

• Data-driven: Mixpanel / Looker; SQL basics; A/B read-outs.

• Bonus: Replit prototyping, AI prompt-crafting, n8n/Zapier, payments background.

Perks

• Full-time, fully-remote (own your agenda).

• Flexible hours (core overlap GMT +2/+3).

• PTO + national holidays + unlimited sick days.

• Private health plan, UA/EN language courses, English lessons.

• Paid day off on your birthday (and your kids’ 🎂).

• Zero red-tape access to CEO & CTO; path to CPO for top performers.
