Technical Product Leader

Technical Product Lead — Eklipse.gg

About Eklipse.gg

Eklipse is an AI-powered platform that helps gamers and streamers turn long gameplay sessions into short, shareable highlights — automatically. Our AI watches the stream, picks out the best moments (kills, wins, funny reactions, viewer hype), and produces clips ready for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Twitter in seconds.

We serve creators across Twitch, YouTube Gaming, Kick, and Facebook Gaming — from solo streamers building their first audience to top creators with millions of followers. Our users span League of Legends, Valorant, Fortnite, Call of Duty, Apex Legends, and dozens of other titles.

Our vision: become the default content engine for every gaming creator on the internet. Stream once. Publish everywhere. Grow faster.

We're at a point where creators love what our AI can do — and we're now focused on making the rest of the experience just as strong. Activation, retention, and the publishing journey are where the next chapter of growth lives. That's where this role comes in.

Why this role exists

Our engineering team is strong and ships quickly. What we're looking to add is someone who can sharpen the connection between what we build, what creators actually do with it, and what moves the business.

You'll be the person who decides what to build based on user behavior and impact — and then makes sure it lands well with real creators, not just in production.

This isn't a pure engineering role with PM tasks added on. It's a product-minded technical leader who codes when it helps, prototypes when it's faster than explaining, and leads through clarity rather than control.

What you'll do

Lead product direction:

• Write clear PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineers can build from confidently.

• Own and prioritize the backlog for your initiatives. Decide what gets built, what waits, and what success looks like before work begins.

• Use product analytics, creator interviews, and SQL queries to ground prioritization in evidence.

• Run weekly sprint planning and retros, keeping the team focused on outcomes that ship to users.

Partner on technical decisions:

• Work alongside the lead backend engineer as a technical peer. Join architecture and API design discussions to keep technical direction and product direction aligned.

• Review PRs where product context matters. Speak up when scope drifts or when a shortcut might affect creators downstream.

• Translate fuzzy business needs into clear, actionable technical tasks — so the team spends less time clarifying and more time building.

Build when it helps:

• Prototype and validate ideas before they enter the engineering queue.

• Ship small features end-to-end when it's faster than handing off.

• Use AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) as part of your daily workflow — for PRD drafting, code analysis, prototyping, and moving faster overall.

Who we're looking for

You'll likely have:

• 5+ years shipping production SaaS, AI, or B2C products end-to-end. You've seen features go from idea to real impact, not just from ticket to deploy.

• 2+ years owning product decisions or leading technical delivery. You've written PRDs that got built. You've been comfortable saying "let's cut this" when it was the right call.

• Solid experience in backend and frontend as a foundation.

• Strong product instincts. When you look at a user workflow, you can see which step to improve first.

• Comfort with data. You read dashboards, define KPIs, and write your own SQL when you have a question.

• Strong written English. Spoken English good enough for direct collaboration with the CTO and team.

• Real fluency with AI tools. You've made them a genuine part of how you work day-to-day.

Nice to have:

• Background in creator tools, gaming, streaming platforms, short-form video, or AI products. If you've built for Twitch/YouTube/Kick/TikTok creators, we'd love to chat.

• Familiarity with MySQL, MongoDB, Linux, basic infrastructure, and CI/CD.

• Experience improving activation or retention on a SaaS product.

• You're a gamer or stream viewer yourself. You get why a 12-second clip with the right music hits different than a 30-second one.

Don't worry if you don't tick every box — if most of this sounds like you, we'd still like to hear from you.
