We design. We build. We code. We think. We craft. We engineer. We teach. We learn. We invent.

At littleBits, we’re on a mission to empower everyone to create inventions, large and small, with our platform of easy-to-use electronic building blocks. And we believe this mission starts with you. When you join the team, you’ll enter a workspace that encourages innovation, creative expression, teamwork and transparency. We also encourage spontaneous sing-a-longs, furry friends, roaming robots, and lots of laughs. If you are genuinely excited about our mission, and about working with a smart, dedicated and talented group of inventors, artists and doers, we want you on our team!

• Manage the roadmaps for specific product areas in Jira: features, bugs, chores, and align the team on feature prioritization given software engineering resource constraints
• Maintain product documentation including but not limited to functional requirements, timelines, sprint planning, & retrospectives.
• Run and participate in user testing sessions and incorporate that feedback into designs
• Lead the cross-functional team through standard Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, sprint reviews, retrospectives, etc)
• Identify, prioritize and run tests designed to increase engagement

• A minimum of 6+ years in software product management
