Our platform is trusted by over 2,500 of the world’s most innovative companies to build strong engineering teams ready for what’s next.\nSoftware has entered an era where humans and AI build side by side. As this shift accelerates, the definition of strong technical talent is changing. We give companies better ways to identify and invest in next-generation skills.\nPeople at HackerRank care deeply about the impact of their work and sweat the small details so our customers can be wildly successful with products they genuinely love to use. We move with urgency and believe great outcomes come from high standards.\nAbout the role\nHackerRank Interviews is a live technical interviewing platform designed to evaluate how candidates solve realistic engineering problems, not just whether they can pass an algorithm test. Candidates and interviewers collaborate in a shared workspace using coding tools, production-style repositories, and Plan-Build-Review tasks. The platform also supports observable AI-assisted development, letting teams assess how candidates prompt, review, and apply AI-generated work, with observation tools and post-interview reports giving hiring teams clearer, structured evidence for decisions.\nIn this role, you'll help lead the Interviews product - an AI-native, pair-programming interview experience that gives interviewers the ability to collaborate with candidates on real-world problems and code repos. You'll shape how the platform evolves across richer ADE experiences (harnesses like Claude Code and Codex CLI), Chakra Assist for evaluation, richer session observation (screen sharing, A/V), and reporting across in-product, exports, APIs and MCP. You'll work closely with engineers as collaborators and as the product's core customer and user base including senior engineering leadership as stakeholders who care deeply about this space.\nWhat you will do\nOwn the roadmap for how HackerRank Interviews evaluates AI-assisted development including richer ADE harnesses, Chakra Assist, and session observation capabilities.\nDefine how the platform captures and surfaces signals on how candidates prompt, review and apply AI-generated work, so interviewers get clearer, structured evidence.\nDrive the reporting and integration strategy across in-product reporting, exports, APIs and MCP.\nEngage directly with engineering customers and users including senior engineering leadership as the primary audience for this product, translating their needs into roadmap decisions.\nRepresent the product in high-visibility, customer-facing moments with composure, including when executives engage directly and unexpectedly.\nPartner closely with Engineering and Design to ship production-quality, AI-native interview experiences.\nEmbrace AI - in how we operate, as well as in the product.\nWho you are\nOverall 7+ years of total professional experience including at least 1 year of hands-on Software Engineering.\n5+ years of Product Management experience, preferably building B2B SaaS, enterprise products and/or tech services and/or platforms, and you are currently working as a PM today.\nComfortable being the technical/product voice in a room full of engineers, including stakeholders like senior engineering leadership\nAble to stay composed and sound under sudden high-visibility pressure for example, a CTO persona dropping into a live customer channel.\nA strategic thinker who can evaluate complex challenges, prioritise effectively, and balance short-term progress with long-term success.\nDeeply passionate about AI using it as a reflex across your own workflows, not just in the product you build.\nAbility to deep dive into ambitious problem statements and create customer value.\nProven track record of successfully launching and growing new products and/or significant features.\nAbility to work in a fast paced cross team, cross geo environment and to deliver on a common vision.\nAbility to work with engineers, designers and analysts and be comfortable presenting to non-technical/business stakeholders and customers.\nEven better if you have\nHands-on fluency with agentic coding harnesses (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Copilot Workspace, or similar) deep enough to reason about what a good AI-assisted engineering actually looks like.\nExperience designing or owning a GTM motion where the buyer and user were engineers or engineering leadership, rather than a traditional non-technical economic buyer.\nExperience operating in a lean, founder-style team with no dedicated marketing support i.e., you've personally built your own sales decks, messaging and customer-facing materials before, not just briefed a marketing team.\nBackground in HR tech, talent assessment, or technical hiring.\nExperience building reporting/analytics or API-level integrations (e.g. MCP, data exports) for a technical audience.\nYou will thrive in this role if you\nYou are a builder at heart. You enjoy creating something from scratch, transforming ideas into tangible, high-impact products.\nAmbiguity excites you. You’re comfortable working in undefined spaces, carving out clarity where little exists, and defining a clear vision and strategy.\nYou take a customer-first approach. You excel at identifying unmet customer needs and turning those insights into innovative product solutions.\nYou are a strategic thinker. You can evaluate complex challenges, prioritise effectively, and make decisions that balance short-term progress with long-term success.\nYou thrive in fast-paced environments. You’re energised by working on high-impact initiatives where priorities can shift as you gain new insights.\nYou have a bias for action. You’re not afraid to experiment, iterate, and learn quickly in pursuit of delivering exceptional outcomes.\nYou are deeply passionate about AI. You’re in the weeds and trying out AI tools constantly and are at a point where you are using AI as a reflex to try and automate several workflows in your life and 10x yourself.\nWant to learn more about HackerRank?
