- **Company:** Bellota Labs
- **Location:** Redwood City, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** remote
- **Posted:** 2026-02-11
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10

## Job description

Bellota Labs is a gaming studio building competitive, multiplayer-first experiences with a focus on live operations, player engagement, and long-term product excellence. We are the team behind ClubWPT Gold, the flagship product of the World Poker Tour (WPT) — one of the most recognized brands in global poker. ClubWPT Gold blends competitive gameplay, live-service systems, and real-money prize structures, serving a highly engaged player base. We operate with high ownership, speed, and accountability — and we're looking for leaders who want to build products that last. We're also an AI-native studio: we expect our producers to use modern AI tools to increase clarity, compress cycle times, and give the team superpowers it wouldn't otherwise have.

## What You’ll Do

- Own and drive development schedules across multiple teams, using AI tools to accelerate roadmap drafting, dependency mapping, and scenario planning.
- Translate high-level product strategy into actionable roadmaps and milestones. Leverage AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) to pressure-test plans, surface edge cases, and draft clear documentation at speed.
- Partner with Design and Engineering leads to define scope and delivery timelines, using AI-assisted estimation and risk-analysis techniques to sharpen forecasts.
- Proactively identify production risks and resolve blockers, using AI to synthesize signals across tickets, docs, and meeting notes so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Facilitate sprint planning, milestone reviews, and cross-functional syncs. Use AI-powered meeting tools (e.g., Granola, Fireflies, Otter, Notion AI) to capture, summarize, and distribute action items — so meetings become decisions, not overhead.
- Improve production workflows to increase clarity and velocity. Evaluate and roll out AI-powered PM tools (e.g., Linear, Jira, Notion, ClickUp with AI copilots) to reduce coordination tax across the org.
- Coordinate internal stakeholders across product, engineering, and operations. Use AI to draft crisp status updates, executive summaries, and stakeholder comms that keep everyone aligned without drowning the team in meetings.
- Support live ops initiatives, seasonal content, and ongoing feature releases, using AI tooling to monitor rollouts, synthesize player feedback, and accelerate post-mortems.
- Champion AI in production workflows, continuously evaluating new tools and techniques that elevate team velocity, clarity, and quality — and sharing learnings broadly.

## What We’re Looking For

- 5+ years of experience in game production or technical production
- Experience shipping and operating a live-service game
- Strong understanding of agile development and production frameworks
- Experience working closely with engineering teams on complex systems
- Hands-on fluency with AI tools in a professional production workflow — for planning, documentation, meeting synthesis, stakeholder communication, and risk analysis — with clear judgment about where AI accelerates the work and where human leadership must lead
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Mandarin fluency required — this person will serve as a key bridge between our U.S. and APAC teams, ensuring clear communication, alignment, and collaboration across teams.
- High ownership mentality and bias toward action

## Nice to Have

- Experience in competitive multiplayer or real-money gaming environments
- Background in technical production
- Experience in early-stage or high-growth studios
- Experience introducing or scaling AI-powered workflows in a production or PM context
- Passion for poker, strategy games, or competitive ecosystems

## Why Bellota Labs

- A globally recognized brand as your foundation. You won't be building awareness from scratch — you'll be building on top of the World Poker Tour, one of the most iconic names in gaming, with a built-in audience of passionate players worldwide.
- Real ownership, real visibility. This isn't a role where your work gets lost in a layer of middle management. You'll have meaningful equity, direct exposure to leadership, and a seat at the table where decisions are actually made.
- Compensation that reflects the stakes. Competitive salary, equity, and benefits designed to reward the people betting on us early.
- A rare chance to shape what comes next. ClubWPT Gold is just the beginning. You'll help define the operational DNA, product cadence, and cultural footprint of a company with ambitions well beyond a single launch.

At Bellota Labs, we are defining the future of online gaming with cutting-edge products and a team of passionate professionals. You will have the opportunity to shape the direction of our flagship product, work with a world-class team, and make a lasting impact on the gaming industry.
