Product Manager

🌍 About Hopae

At Hopae , we're building the world's most trusted digital identity platform — private, secure, and built for real life. We believe identity should be in your control — not locked behind outdated systems or centralized gatekeepers.

Our product, Hopae Connect, lets businesses verify real people across borders through a single API — no need to build country-by-country integrations themselves. Our technology powers instant, privacy-first verification across fintech, credentials, supply chain, and gaming — for IDV providers, e-signature platforms, and enterprises who need identity to just work, everywhere.

Backed by top global investors, Hopae operates across Seoul, Paris, Luxembourg, and San Francisco , bringing together exceptional talent from over 10 nationalities. We move fast, think globally, and build products that define the future of identity.

🎯 What You Will Do

At Hopae, Product Managers sit at the heart of everything we build. You'll work closely with engineering, design, research, and business teams to shape products that define how the world verifies identity — at scale, across borders, and without compromise.

We're hiring PMs across Hopae.

hConnect — our core API product that lets businesses verify real people across borders through a single integration. PMs here own the developer-facing product experience, shape how enterprises and IDV providers connect to global eID systems, and drive adoption across fintech, credentials, supply chain, and gaming verticals.

Research — our frontier team pushing the boundaries of digital identity. The current focus is building a hardware-based, in-person identification solution — a genuinely hard, genuinely new problem at the intersection of physical and digital trust. PMs here work in a more exploratory, zero-to-one environment.

Across both teams, you will:

Own your product area end-to-end — from discovery and roadmap to launch and iteration

Translate complex regulatory, technical, and user requirements into clear, shippable specs

Define success metrics and hold yourself accountable to them

Work closely with engineers, designers, and legal/compliance to ship features that are both technically sound and commercially meaningful

Partner with Sales and Business Development to understand what customers need — and what the market is ready for

Communicate priorities clearly and push back when needed — you are the decision-maker for your surface area

Represent the voice of the customer internally, and the voice of the product externally

🧠 Who You Are

You've shipped real products, own your decisions, and thrive without a playbook. You think in first principles, communicate with precision across time zones, and are genuinely excited about the future of digital identity.

You have a B2B SaaS background, can hold your own in a technical conversation, and understand how product decisions move deals.

You're comfortable in 0→1 territory — hardware meets software, experiments over sprints, structure built from scratch.

We're hiring across levels. Associate/Mid-level PMs (1–4 years) bring hunger and sharp thinking. Senior PMs (5+ years) set the bar for everyone who follows.
