App Leader (Senior PM)
R&W is a product creation studio and agency with offices in Taipei, NYC, and HK. We build all kinds of awesome things: from Pokemon apps to AI-based science apps to app-based teddy bears and autonomous drones and rest APIs for 12 million users. We help banks implement Apple Pay, and help vehicle manufacturers do growth hacking. Our clients are in the US, Europe, around Asia, and yes, in Taiwan too.
This position is fun, demanding, educational, and wide-ranging. You'll be creating new apps, iterating on current apps, and growing things using a set of sweet design and automated marketing tools.
The role is best suited for someone who is a designer, and a digital marketer, and a developer, but in her/his heart is an organizer. We have several former startup founders on our team who have raised funding and led app businesses, and we're looking for someone who could probably start a startup, or already has, but is ready to join a strong and experienced team and sharpen her/his sword on multiple world-class apps - and go deeper into machine learning, computer vision, and leading growth experiments.
This would be a good fit for someone who:
0. is organized, and helps other people stay organized
1. who has written a lot of good specs before
2. with some skill and recent experience coding
3. someone who has spent real money on mobile app install ads
4. loves reading Apple's Human Interface Guidelines every time they are updated
5. someone who already has a favorite marketing automation Saas tool, and is kind of an expert at using it to measure and get results from growth experiments
PMs on our team manage between 2-8 apps at the same time. Some of these apps have 50 users per day, some have 500k users per day. Collectively we publish new releases and/or run growth experiments hundreds of times each month.
Some general requirements:
- Have created, published, and grown at least 2 native mobile apps.
- Have created full stack web products before.
- Comfortable taking projects from the design phase to a stable production release
- Has led development sprints
- Is pretty much an expert on using iTunes Connect and the Play Store developer console to publish apps
Some specific requirements:
- Comfortable writing specs in English with enough detail to satisfy execs and devs
- Comfortable using Github to review code, approve pull requests for automated code deployments
- Comfortable creating FB app install ad campaigns, running A|B tests, using FB pixels, etc
And if you have any of this, well, then you're probably the superman/wonderwoman we're looking for:
- Experience writing platform API documents used by other companies, iterating those APIs, and setting up automated notifications for the consumers of your APIs
- Experience designing machine learning systems, including tuning hyperparameters
- Experience with OpenCV in production apps
- Experience with the physics of astronomy, or orbital physics, or car physics
- Can diagram GPS and accelerometer sensor fusion architecture
- Expertise with the physics of color and 3D lightfields
- Knowledgable about phonemes, dipthongs, NLP, and the other elements of speech recognition
