Hi there :)

Thanks for checking in to find out about our open position. We´ll provide as much information as possible, but please feel free to reach us if you have further questions. We´ll be happy to see your application, even if there are skills you don't quite master!

About us

We partner with high-growth companies to bring elite software engineers from Latin America who are not just technically strong but also AI-fluent and built for long-term partnerships. Our engineers integrate seamlessly into your team, working in your tools, your timezone, and with the same level of ownership your in-house team brings.

About the client

Our client provides cloud-based government management software used by municipalities across the United States. Their platform modernizes how local governments operate, from permitting and inspections to reporting and resident services. They run an AI-native product development model: small pods of strong engineers paired with designers who have real product judgment. No handoff culture. You own the loop.

About the role

You will be designing and managing product for a government tech platform. The work spans the full product cycle: customer research, wireframes, flows, prototypes, and final specs through to shipping. Some days you are deep in a customer interview, mapping a confusing workflow. Others, you are writing product intents and acceptance criteria, running a grooming session, or iterating directly in Claude Design or Lovable. AI tools are part of your daily workflow, not an afterthought. You will report to the Director of Product and Design and partner closely with one other hybrid designer/PM to cover the full product surface.

What you need to succeed

  • 3+ years in product design with meaningful PM experience on top

  • Strong customer research instincts: you know how to run a good interview and what to do with what you learn

  • Fluency in AI design and dev tools (Lovable, Claude, Make or comparable)

  • Proven ability to run a sprint, not just attend one

  • Product instincts grounded in user outcomes, not feature lists

  • Clear communicator with non-technical stakeholders, written and verbal

  • Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast

What could set you apart

  • Experience in GovTech, B2B SaaS, or enterprise software for non-technical buyers

  • Background in government operations or public sector products

Our team

At South Geeks, we work with engineers who take ownership. You will be embedded with the client team, collaborating directly with their engineers and product leaders. Our People Ops team stays close to make sure you have everything you need to do your best work.

What we offer

  • Long-term projects

  • 100% remote work

  • Payment in USD

  • PTO

  • English lessons

  • Technical training

  • WFH budget

  • Career Coaching

This position is open to candidates anywhere in Latin America.
