Product manager / Product designer

About the Job

It’s 1985 – Super Marios Bros. debuts on NES, Back to the Future is released in theatres, and A-ha’s Take on Me is #10 on the Billboard charts. Van Halen was one of the top acts, with songs such as “Jump,” “Hot for Teacher,” and “Panama” rocking the airwaves. Could they get any better? Impossible! No way! That’s what everyone thought up until the band replaced lead singer David Lee Roth with Sammy Hagar in July. With the Red Rocker on vocals, the band went on to enjoy 9 top 40 hits compared to just 7 with Roth at the helm. A band that nobody believed could get any better actually did.

We want you to be our Sammy Hagar. We are looking for a product manager / product designer to take our award-winning productivity platform Farm Dog higher and higher. Straight up we’ll climb!

Farm Dog has been named a Top App for Agriculture 5 years in a row, but we’re not satisfied. Our vision is for Farm Dog to be the obvious productivity software of choice for every profitable agronomist. We want you to bring that vision to life right now.

Just like Sammy Hagar, you will inherit a product with a storied history. Just like Hagar, you will take it to new heights.
