Senior Technical Product Manager - Keet (100% Remote)

As Senior Technical Product Manager for Keet at Tether, you own the vision for a fully peer-to-peer messaging and video calling app built on Holepunch's P2P stack. You will lead Keet to a billion users, competing directly with WhatsApp and Telegram. This is not a maintenance role: you define the direction, convince the board and team, and drive execution end to end. You are a rare combination of a product visionary who has shipped consumer chat or calling apps at scale, a technologist who can go deep on P2P architecture and the Pear/Holepunch stack, and a hands-on builder who uses AI tools to prototype and prove concepts in days.

What you'll do

• Own and articulate the long-term product vision for Keet as the world's leading private, peer-to-peer communication app, with a clear path to 1 billion users
• Analyze WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, LINE, WeChat and emerging competitors to identify where P2P gives Keet an unfair advantage, and build the roadmap around it
• Present product vision, strategy, metrics and progress to the board and executive leadership with clarity and conviction
• Define a growth strategy across acquisition, activation, retention and virality, with measurable targets at every stage
• Develop a deep working understanding of the Holepunch P2P stack (Pear runtime, Bare, Hypercore, Hyperswarm, HyperDHT, Autobase, Hyperbee) and translate its capabilities and constraints into product decisions
• Partner with core engineering on hard P2P problems at scale, including NAT traversal, offline sync, multi-device support, large groups, push notifications, and battery and data efficiency on mobile
• Own the real-time calling experience (1:1 and group voice and video, plus screen sharing) to a quality bar that matches or beats Google Meet and Zoom
• Define clear feature tiers with explicit labels for stable versus experimental functionality
• Use AI coding and design tools to build working prototypes and demos that prove concepts before committing engineering resources
• Turn ideas into something the team, users and the board can see and touch within days
• Lead the product team and run the sprint cadence end to end, covering planning, prioritization, standups, reviews and retrospectives
• Own deliverables from conception through release, testing and post-launch iteration, ensuring core functionality works reliably every time
• Maintain issue trackers and roadmaps that accurately reflect priorities and sprint commitments
• Coordinate across engineering, QA, design, marketing and business stakeholders, and manage cross-team dependencies across the Holepunch and Tether ecosystem
• Provide transparent updates on status, risks and timeline changes, and hold direct conversations about accountability when needed
• Own the mobile release process across iOS and Android, including App Store and Google Play submissions, review guidelines, compliance, store listings, ratings and release management
• Oversee desktop distribution and installers across macOS, Windows and Linux
• Build crash reporting, debugging and analytics systems, privacy-preserving by design, that turn user reports into actionable engineering data

What you bring

• A track record shipping consumer chat or calling apps at scale
• Deep technical knowledge of P2P architecture and the Pear/Holepunch stack
• Hands-on ability to use AI tools to prototype and prove concepts in days, not months
• Comfort reading every ticket, tracking every dependency, asking uncomfortable questions before they become launch incidents, and keeping five workstreams moving simultaneously
• Excellent English communication skills
