$1 billion impact

And we’re rebuilding our flagship app to get there.

Mission: MUGA - Make UFE Great Again

We’re on a mission to reclaim the UFE.ai app #1 spot on the Shopify App Store. For that, we need an A+ Product Lead - someone who: Thinks like a founder, Owns like a CPO, Executes like a startup operator

We only live once - so why waste it doing ordinary work? Join the $1B impact rocketship.

Who We're Looking For

We’re not hiring a Product Lead to follow plans - but someone to challenge them. Rebuild them. Someone who walks in and says:

• “This part? It doesn’t make sense. Let’s fix it.”
• “That doesn't scale, Here’s a better one.”
• “Claude is good, but let’s use Kimi K2 in Groq inference.”

I've personally taken the CPO role to rebuild the foundation. But I can’t do it alone. I need someone to stand beside me - not under me.

This is not a coordinator job. This is a leadership seat - in a company where decisions are fast, outcomes matter, and 100-year brand is the endgame.

What We Need in Our Product Lead

You’ll take full ownership of our product direction and delivery - from roadmap to execution. This role is equal parts strategy, execution, and communication.

You’ll work closely with developers, support, and the CEO, CPO to make sure our roadmap is aligned, focused, and shipping fast. You’ll drive the product vision forward while building a high-performance product culture.

Responsibilities // What You’ll Own

• Full product lifecycle - discovery, planning, delivery, QA, and launch
• Create clear PRDs and RFCs with context, clarity, and structured logic
• Prioritize what matters (and cut what doesn’t) - aligning roadmap with business needs
• Breaking down features into sprintable chunks for devs
• Collaborate with support and marketing to turn feedback into features
• Oversee production deployments and internal comms
• Maintain feature quality and completeness through rigorous pre-launch review
• Set up systems for repeatability - docs, checklists, SOPs
• Conduct 1:1s and standups with product team to drive clarity and accountability
• Raise the bar on thinking, ownership, and communication in the team

Must-Have Skills

• Min 3 years experience in MERN Stack and 1 year experience in Team lead/Product Lead role
• Proven experience shipping features in a B2B SaaS or Shopify app environment
• Strong grasp of UX, usability, and feature prioritization
• Excellent writing and communication - especially for async, structured comms
• Hands-on experience working closely with devs, QA, and support
• Familiarity with tools like Linear, Notion, Loom, and ClickUp
• High clarity of thought - you can simplify chaos into clear action
• Deep ownership mindset - you follow through, not just follow up

Bonus Skills

• 3+ years in a Product Management, Founder, or Tech/Product hybrid role
• Past experience as a founder or early employee in a product startup
• Worked in a Shopify ecosystem or ecommerce domain
• Experience reviewing code / managing technical delivery with developers
• Understanding of Polaris and Shopify app experience

What You Get

• High freedom, zero micromanagement
• Full product ownership and visibility to business impact
• Access to a passionate, founder-led team building for the long term
• A chance to play a core CXO-track role in a product-led rocketship
• Do your best work now - earn Financial Freedom + Time Freedom later.

❌ What We’re NOT Looking For (Read This Twice)

• Someone who needs repeated follow-ups or lacks a proactive mindset
• Strategy-talkers who avoid real execution
• Vague communicators who say “maybe”, “later”, or “I’ll try”
• Folks who avoid feedback or accountability
• Deadline-missers without updates
• Inconsistent executors with excuse loops

A Personal Note

My personal mission?

You should be able to build your own kickass startup after Helixo.

This isn’t a safe role. It’s a front-row seat to chaos, ownership, and clarity.

If that excites you more than it scares you - let’s talk.

How to apply?

Send your resume and a 2-3 minute Loom video telling us:

• Why you’re interested in this role, What caught your eyes
• One product you’ve shipped that you’re proud of
• How would you build a team you can go to war with, one that fits in your hand and never drops the ball?
