## Job description

## About Katapult Labs

Katapult is an AI-first engineering studio connecting senior LATAM talent with startups and companies in the US. We're not a staff-augmentation shop: every person we put in front of a client represents Katapult, co-creates product, and owns the outcome directly, with no managers or leads acting as a layer in between.

## The Role

We're looking for a Product Manager to be the most critical hire on the founding team behind one of our partners, an early-stage consumer product with big ambitions to become a real tech company. This is a B2C role, not B2B: our partner needs someone with genuine taste who understands both the business and the technical side well enough to shape an experience that feels great to millions of end users. You'll act as the delivery lead and product manager for the engagement, working hand in hand with a design lead and a full-stack builder to define what gets built and why. We are not looking for a metrics-first or API-focused product manager. We're looking for someone who understands virality, growth, and engagement, someone who has shipped consumer products people love, and who can bring that instinct into a fast-moving 0-to-1 environment.

## Key Responsibilities

- Own the product vision and roadmap for a consumer-facing application from early stage onward
- Act as delivery lead, coordinating closely with a design lead and full-stack builder(s)
- Define and prioritize features that drive engagement, retention, and virality
- Translate a non-technical founding team's ideas into clear, buildable product direction
- Use product analytics to understand user behavior and guide iteration
- Bring strong design sensibility to every product decision, ensuring the experience feels polished and intentional

## Requirements

- Advanced conversational English, since all collaboration happens in English
- Proven experience as a Product Manager on consumer-facing (B2C) applications with high user engagement
- Strong product taste and design sensibility, comfortable partnering closely with design
- Passionate about technology and building things with AI, we need someone a little bit technical that can develop features if needed.
- Experience using product analytics tools such as Amplitude or PostHog to track engagement, funnels, and virality
- Comfort operating in a 0-to-1 environment with a non-technical founding team
- Strong communication skills and the ability to act as a true delivery lead, not just a backlog manager

## Nice to Have

- Background in consumer apps with a strong social, video, or content component
- Experience working directly with founders in early-stage startups
- Familiarity with growth and virality mechanics in mobile-first products

Work-Life Balance

- Work from Anywhere in Latin America: Enjoy the freedom to work remotely from any country in Latin America.
- 23 Days of PTO per Year: Take time to recharge with paid time off, accrued monthly (1.91 days/month).
- USA Federal Holidays

Financial Benefits

- Monthly Payment in USD: Get paid in US dollars, no matter where you are.
- Contractor Agreement with No End Date: Enjoy the stability of a long-term contract.

## About Katapult Labs

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Katapult Labs is a boutique software development and team augmentation agency that provides U.S. startups with access to AI-first engineering talent based in Latin America.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage)
- **Headquarters**: Bogotá, Colombia
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Tomás Gutierrez (CEO) and Andrés Blumer (President)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Software Development / IT Services & Consulting
- **Target customers**: U.S.-based startups and scale-ups (B2B, primarily SMB to Mid-Market) looking to build, augment, or scale their engineering teams.
- **Mission or purpose**: To help companies build faster and smarter by deploying top-tier, AI-augmented engineering teams from Latin America, removing the operational overhead of hiring, HR, and payroll.

## Products & Services
- **Team Augmentation**: Katapult recruits, vets, and places dedicated, full-time software engineers onto a client’s existing team. Katapult handles all payroll, HR, and legal obligations. Engineers are dedicated to a single client full-time.
- **AI-First Development Pods**: Scalable, skill-balanced pods of engineers who are trained to use modern AI tools to maximize speed-to-value, from MVP to world-class product.
- **Fractional CTO Services**: For clients who need technical leadership, Katapult’s founders (experienced, venture-backed entrepreneurs) can act as a fractional CTO, offering guidance on product strategy, technical leadership, and fundraising.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$6.0M** (Seed round led by 8VC on May 20, 2022).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: 8VC (lead investor).
- **Growth Signals**: The company has grown to a team of 33 employees. LinkedIn followers have grown +22.7% monthly. The company is actively hiring for roles like Staff Full-Stack Engineer and Account Executive, indicating a push to scale both delivery and sales. They are also expanding their presence in the Benelux region for business development.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Founder-Led, Startup-Native**: The founders are Colombian-American, venture-backed entrepreneurs with 15+ years of experience. They understand startup realities (pivots, timelines, fundraising) and act as an embedded partner, not a vendor.
- **AI-First Methodology**: Unlike traditional nearshore agencies, Katapult explicitly trains and deploys engineers using modern AI tools to boost delivery speed, quality, and efficiency.
- **Full Operational Wrap**: Katapult handles all recruitment, HR, legal, and payroll, allowing clients to scale up or down with minimal risk and zero admin overhead. IP and confidentiality are contractually guaranteed to the client.
- **Nearshore Advantage**: Talent is based in LATAM (primarily Colombia), offering significant cost savings over U.S. hires while operating in compatible U.S. time zones (PST +2/+3) with bilingual communication.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling the Delivery Engine**: Actively hiring engineers (Staff Full-Stack) to meet client demand.
- **Expanding Sales Reach**: Hiring an Account Executive focused on the Benelux region to tap into the European market.
- **Deepening AI Integration**: Continually refining their "AI-first" development approach to maintain a competitive edge in speed and quality for clients.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a "boutique" agency run by experienced founders. The environment is likely lean, agile, and focused on high-impact work with a limited number of clients, avoiding the "body shop" feel of larger consultancies.
- **Remote-First**: All roles appear to be remote within Colombia, offering location flexibility.
- **Impact**: Engineers get to work on cutting-edge products for U.S. startups, often from MVP stage, with exposure to modern AI tooling.
- **Stability & Perks**: Engineers are on a formal payroll (not contract), with transparent hours (~160 hours/month) and benefits managed by Katapult.
