Job description

Why does your role matter? 🎖️

In the fast-moving world of real-money gaming, success isn’t defined by the number of games — it’s defined by the quality of experience. What keeps players coming back isn’t just gameplay — it’s trust, ease, and the thrill of a seamless win. As a Senior Product Manager, your mission is to transform an already successful product into a daily habit — intuitive, rewarding, and always one step ahead of user expectations.

With $480M+ annual gaming volume and 5M+ MAU already achieved, you’ll be at the forefront of scaling what works while pioneering new features that define how India plays. You’ll navigate the unique complexities of the Indian market — from diverse payment preferences across tier cities to building trust in real-money gaming — while maintaining our position as the market leader.

You won’t just be building things from scratch— you’ll be powering growth by levelling up what already works. From simplifying flows to launching high-impact features, every decision you make will shape how millions across India engage with Hike Gaming Nation. As a senior member of the product team, you’ll also shape product culture and mentor the next generation of PMs.
