Who we are
AwardSpring is an established, growing SaaS company that partners with hundreds of colleges, universities, and foundations across the US and Canada to award scholarships and manage their donors. We complete the virtuous cycle of giving, getting, and giving again, on a mature, multi-tenant platform, with a small, focused team.
About this role
You ship code, not just specs. You own outcomes across discovery, decisions, and delivery in your area, shipping features with agentic tooling that engineering reviews and hardens. You make the product calls, stay close to customers, and don't wait to be told what matters.
How we work
We're an AI-native product team. Nearly 100% of the code in our product is AI-generated, and every IC (engineer, PM, designer) ships features end-to-end with agentic tooling. The lines between disciplines are intentionally blurred: PMs ship code, engineers make product calls, designers prototype in production. We hire for fluency in agentic development, not time in any one stack.
If you've been building this way on nights and weekends because your day job won't let you (rigid stack, no token budget, "that's not how we do things here"), this is the place where it's the actual job.
What you'll do
- Own outcomes from discovery through delivery in your area
- Ship features with agentic tools; engineering reviews and hardens
- Make the priority and quality calls
- Stay in front of customers

Who you are
- 3+ years in product as a PM, tech lead, founder, or equivalent, now shipping with Claude Code, Cursor, or comparable tools

What we give you
- Top-tier AI tooling with unlimited token budgets

- Health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) match, unlimited PTO, and paid parental leave
