Product Owner & Builder

Why This Role Exists

AI tools have collapsed the gap between product vision and implementation. One person with the right judgment can now hold an entire codebase in context, design the UX, and ship to production — solo. The startups we work with don’t need PMs who write tickets for engineers. They need builders who own the full loop: idea to production.

This role merges what used to be three jobs — product manager, designer, and full-stack engineer — into one. You define what to build, design how it works, and ship it yourself using AI-first tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

What You’d Work On

• Define product roadmap, cut scope ruthlessly, and prioritize what ships this week
• Design wireframes and prototypes in Figma, then build them in code
• Ship MVPs and full features end-to-end — frontend, backend, deployment
• Analyze user data (SQL, analytics) to inform product decisions and iterate fast
• Work directly with founding teams to translate business goals into shipped software

Who We’re Looking For

• Product instincts — can identify what matters, cut scope, and ship
• Hands-on building — not just specs and tickets, you prototype and ship
• AI-first workflow — uses Claude, Cursor, or similar to move fast
• Data-driven — SQL, analytics, user research to inform decisions
• Communication — clear writing, async-first, can work across timezones

What Worca Offers

• Interesting work — directly with founding teams at AI startups
• Flexibility — hourly, part-time, or full-time
• USD compensation — competitive, benchmarked to the role
• Continuity — Worca manages employment and matches you to next engagements

Engagement Structure

• Type: Contract (hourly or monthly) or full-time
• Trial: 2-4 week trial project
• Timezone: APAC-based, US hours overlap required
• Location: Remote — Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore, or broader APAC
