About Us

Chess.com is one of the largest gaming sites in the world and the #1 platform for playing, learning, and enjoying chess.


We are a team of 600+ fully remote people in 60+ countries working hard to serve the global chess community. We are here to support 200M+ chess players worldwide with the best possible product, content, and tools to serve the community!


We are a tech company. A gaming company. A content company. And we do it all with passion and commitment to the game. Above all we prize our mission-driven, flat, life-celebrating, no-corporate culture, and we look forward to meeting you and learning more about what you can bring to the team.

About You

We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to help us create the next generation of thinking games: skill-based experiences that are elegant, fun, and deeply engaging. This role is for someone who blends excellent product taste, strong game design intuition, and a bias toward action, and who actively uses AI tools to prototype, test, and iterate quickly.

If you’re excited about building games that millions of people love, and using AI as a creative and execution multiplier, we’d love to hear from you.

What you'll do

  • Lead the creation of new mobile games from concept to launch
  • Design and refine core game mechanics, progression systems, and retention loops
  • Rapidly prototype ideas using AI-assisted tools (LLMs, no/low-code, simulations, mockups)
  • Partner closely with engineering, design, and data to ship high-quality experiences
  • Make thoughtful product decisions grounded in player psychology, metrics, and intuition
  • Balance speed and craft—knowing when to move fast and when to sweat the details

Preferred Qualifications

  • 7+ years of Product experience, ideally in games or consumer apps
  • Strong understanding of gaming mechanics (loops, economies, incentives, UX)
  • Excellent product taste—you know what feels good and what doesn’t
  • Technically fluent: comfortable collaborating deeply with engineers and understanding systems, not afraid to read and produce code
  • AI-native mindset: you already use AI to prototype, explore ideas, and accelerate execution
  • Highly agentic: you don’t wait for perfect specs or permission to move forward
  • Ability to build quick prototypes yourself (even if rough)
  • Experience with skill-based games or learning-oriented products

About the Opportunity

  • This is a full-time opportunity
  • We are 100% remote (work from anywhere!)
