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.
