Associate Product Engineer

About Us

vidIQ helps YouTube creators grow with data-driven insights and tools—reaching millions of users. Our mission is to be a smart copilot for creators, and we're looking for a hands-on Product Engineer who can blend product strategy and engineering, leveraging AI to ideate and ship impactful solutions—even if you're early in your career.

Your Impact

At vidIQ, we've reimagined the traditional PM+Engineer relationship by creating this hybrid role. Our Product Engineers use AI tools to close the gap between conception and implementation, allowing one person to effectively do what previously required multiple roles.

As a Product Engineer, you'll build and launch products that shape how creators use vidIQ daily. You'll own the complete product development cycle - from ideation to implementation. For example, you might:

• Develop an Analytics Dashboard that surfaces key metrics like watch time or engagement trends—empowering creators with actionable insights to grow their channels.

• Prototype and implement Workflow Shortcuts that automate keyword research or thumbnail optimization, harnessing AI to simplify creators' workflows.

• Deploy enhancements in user onboarding to ensure new creators quickly discover and utilize vidIQ's most valuable features.

You'll directly prototype products assisted by AI coding (e.g., Cursor + Claude), automate qualitative and quantitative user data with AI PMs, and rapidly ship solutions to production—owning key decisions from ideation through implementation.

You'll directly contribute to these core metrics:

• X% increase in free-to-paid conversions

• Y% decrease in subscriber cancellations

• Z% increase in users returning to vidIQ the following day/week/month

What We're Looking For

1. Builder's Mindset: You thrive on building real products—whether that's coding side projects, launching apps, winning hackathons, or using AI to automate complex tasks. You have tangible examples of things you've built that have provided value to others. Instead of relying on others to build, you build yourself.

2. Technical Expertise: You can rapidly prototype products leveraging AI’s coding skills (React/TypeScript) and familiarity with AI outputs to validate ideas quickly.

3. Product Thinking: You can use AI to identify user needs, prioritize features, and make data-informed decisions about what to build. You understand that great products come from understanding users deeply.

4. Data Obsessed: You're adept at analyzing data—performing A/B tests, interpreting user analytics, and using AI-driven insights to inform product decisions. You can also think deeply about how to leverage data to make AI smarter, and to make data valuable to end users.

5. Creator Empathy: You genuinely understand and care about solving problems for content creators because you either are one (with 500+ followers/subscribers) or have experience working closely with them.

Why vidIQ

• Impact: Build products that impact millions of creators globally, directly contributing to their success.

• AI-First Culture: Leverage cutting-edge AI to enhance productivity, creativity, and innovation in your daily work.

• Growth Opportunities: Benefit from mentorship and professional growth at the intersection of AI, product, and engineering.
