About Glitch

At Glitch, we’re reimagining how B2B companies grow. Our AI-driven platform helps marketing teams unlock smarter, faster lead generation across major ad platforms, transforming how businesses discover and engage their ideal customers.

We believe the future of marketing is intelligent, automated, and deeply connected to real-time customer insight. Glitch combines advanced AI optimisation with dynamic audience data, turning every ad interaction into strategic intelligence that fuels both campaign performance and business growth.

We’ve recently raised our seed round and are now expanding rapidly in the US and Europe. This is a rare opportunity to join an early-stage, venture-funded company that’s building the next generation of marketing intelligence, where product, AI, and customer experience converge.

If you’re excited by the challenge of building from first principles, shaping product direction, and having a tangible impact on how companies grow, you’ll feel right at home at Glitch.

The Role

We’re looking for a Product Owner / Project Manager to join our engineering team. You’ll own the release roadmap, coordinate a team of 5 developers, and ensure we’re shipping the right things at the right time.

This is a hands-on coordination role. You’ll be in the detail of issues, bugs, and priorities – not writing strategy documents from a distance. You’ll work closely with engineering, customer success, and leadership to translate customer needs into shipped features.

Key Responsibilities

Release Management:

  • Own the release roadmap and coordinate releases to production
  • Manage GitHub issues, milestones, and release tracking
  • Ensure releases are well-scoped, tested, and shipped on schedule
  • Partner with engineering to establish a consistent release rhythm
  • Manage feature flag rollouts, progressively releasing features to larger customer groups

Prioritisation & Backlog Management:

  • Prioritise bugs, feature requests, and technical debt
  • Triage incoming issues and ensure the team is always working on the highest-impact work
  • Balance customer requests, product vision, and engineering capacity
  • Establish lightweight gating and resource management processes

Team Coordination:

  • Coordinate a team of 5 developers using AI first software development techniques
  • Manage sprints and milestones
  • Remove blockers and keep work flowing smoothly

Testing & Signoff:

  • Test product releases for functional, design, and performance standards
  • Validate bug fixes before they ship to production
  • Define testing and validation standards for the team
  • Sign off on releases, ensuring quality meets expectations

Stakeholder Communication:

  • Translate customer feedback into actionable engineering work
  • Keep leadership informed on progress, risks, and trade-offs
  • Work with Customer Success and Sales to understand what customers need
  • Communicate technical complexity in terms of business value

AI-First Engineering Culture:

  • Maximise team productivity in an environment where AI tools are part of the workflow
  • Understand how to leverage AI for faster iteration and better outcomes
  • Stay current with how AI is changing software development practices

What We’re Looking For

Required:

  • Experience coordinating software releases and managing engineering workflows
  • Strong prioritisation skills – able to make trade-offs and defend decisions
  • Comfortable working in GitHub (issues, PRs, milestones, project boards)
  • Excellent communication – clear, concise, direct
  • Cross-functional collaboration with engineering, product, and other stakeholders
  • Comfort in fast-paced, quickly evolving environments

Preferred:

  • Experience with Google Ads, ad tech, or performance marketing
  • Technical background – able to read code, understand data models, or write SQL
  • Experience in AI-first or highly automated engineering environments
  • Previous startup experience
  • SaaS or martech background

What We Offer

  • A defining role at an early-stage company building the future of AI-driven marketing
  • Direct collaboration with founders and leadership
  • Competitive compensation
  • Flexible, hybrid work (our office is in Dublin, but we hire globally)
  • A culture that emphasises trust, ownership, and creative problem-solving

Location

Hybrid or fully remote. Our office is in Dublin.
