About Ather Energy

The AtherStack team builds the software that makes an Ather more than a scooter.

We are looking for a hands-on Product Manager to own Stay Connected experiences — the experience that keeps riders connected to their world while they ride, and to their scooter when they're away from it.

Want to know more?

• At Ather, we've built India's first intelligent scooter, from scratch.
• Based on the philosophy of clean design and smart technology, we are transforming the urban commute experience.
• We are expanding in India, and in the coming years, we look forward to scaling up and launching more products globally.
• Today, our product offerings include the Ather 450X, 450S, 450 Apex, and Rizta.
• Beyond the product, we are also setting up an extensive charging network and re-imagining end-to-end ownership experience.
• To know more, check out our Careers site and our Substack.
• Be You, With Us The Ather story doesn't write itself — our people do.
• We believe everyone is equal, but not the same.
• Diversity is our strength, and building an inclusive and equitable workplace begins with acknowledging and embracing our differences.

Responsibilities

• Understand why a capability someone already owns goes unused, and build the case for what will change that.
• Go deep into the tech stack and work with developers to build a connectivity platform that is reliable by default — solid enough that other PMs can build experiences on top of it without inheriting your problems.
• Write PRDs collaboratively with firmware, mobile, design and SQA — the kind that hold up because the constraints were understood while they were being written, not discovered afterwards.
• The bar is finding the version of an experience that survives real limitations without quietly giving up on the rider.
• Get to the bottom of issues yourself — pull the logs, write the query, read the funnel, talk to the rider, and reproduce it on a scooter.
• Most connectivity bugs are not reproducible at a desk.
• Define and track the metrics for the charter — pairing success rate, connection rate, feature adoption, WAU and retention.
• Maintain instrumentation good enough that you can find a drop-off before it shows up in CSAT.
• Write the strategy and roadmap documents that decide what gets built and why.
• Ground them in real inputs — conversations with riders about where the experience breaks, market and competitive analysis, and early explorations built with engineering to test whether a forward-looking idea is worth committing to.
• Proven ability to write detailed PRDs covering edge cases, states and exceptions — for app-side flows and firmware-side behaviour alike.

Requirements

• Technical & Domain Depth: 2–4 years owning a consumer-facing product, ideally one with a hardware or connectivity dependency.
• Comfort holding your own in a conversation about BLE, background service lifecycles or a firmware release train.
• You don't need to write the code — you do need to follow what's being said and push on it.
• Proficiency in SQL is a strong plus.
• You should be able to open a dashboard, write your own query and reach an answer without waiting on an analyst.
• Defining a metric that survives scrutiny matters as much as reading one.
• This charter has hard dependencies, tight bandwidth and constraints you cannot design your way out of.
• We're looking for someone who finds a route through rather than escalates for one.
• Clear, structured writing — most of your influence will be a document someone reads without you in the room.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to prioritise across quality debt and new capability.
• Excellent communication across engineering, design, quality and business teams.
• Experience: 2–4 years of total experience in Product Management.
• An engineering background with a genuine interest in how hardware and software meet.
• Prior experience in IoT, connected devices, wearables or automotive infotainment is a strong plus but not mandatory.

Preferred

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering required — Computer Science, ECE or EEE preferred.

We are an equal opportunity employer, and our team reflects a wide range of identities, experiences, and perspectives — all united by a shared passion to shape the Ather journey.
