Principal Product Manager at HackerRank in Hybrid in Bangalore

Job description

HackerRank helps companies like NVIDIA, Amazon, and Microsoft hire and upskill the next generation of developers based on skills, not pedigree. Our platform is trusted by over 2,500 of the world’s most innovative companies to build strong engineering teams ready for what’s next. Software has entered an era where humans and AI build side by side. As this shift accelerates, the definition of strong technical talent is changing. We give companies better ways to identify and invest in next-generation skills. People at HackerRank care deeply about the impact of their work and sweat the small details so our customers can be wildly successful with products they genuinely love to use. We move with urgency and believe great outcomes come from high standards. About the role HackerRank Interviews is a live technical interviewing platform designed to evaluate how candidates solve realistic engineering problems, not just whether they can pass an algorithm test. Candidates and interviewers collaborate in a shared workspace using coding tools, production-style repositories, and Plan-Build-Review tasks. The platform also supports observable AI-assisted development, letting teams assess how candidates prompt, review, and apply AI-generated work, with observation tools and post-interview reports giving hiring teams clearer, structured evidence for decisions. In this role, you'll help lead the Interviews product - an AI-native, pair-programming interview experience that gives interviewers the ability to collaborate with candidates on real-world problems and code repos. You'll shape how the platform evolves across richer ADE experiences (harnesses like Claude Code and Codex CLI), Chakra Assist for evaluation, richer session observation (screen sharing, A/V), and reporting across in-product, exports, APIs and MCP. You'll work closely with engineers as collaborators and as the product's core customer and user base including senior engineering leadership as stakeholders who care deeply about this space. What you will do Own the roadmap for how HackerRank Interviews evaluates AI-assisted development including richer ADE harnesses, Chakra Assist, and session observation capabilities. Define how the platform captures and surfaces signals on how candidates prompt, review and apply AI-generated work, so interviewers get clearer, structured evidence. Drive the reporting and integration strategy across in-product reporting, exports, APIs and MCP. Engage directly with engineering customers and users including senior engineering leadership as the primary audience for this product, translating their needs into roadmap decisions. Represent the product in high-visibility, customer-facing moments with composure, including when executives engage directly and unexpectedly. Partner closely with Engineering and Design to ship production-quality, AI-native interview experiences. Embrace AI - in how we operate, as well as in the product. Who you are Overall 7+ years of total professional experience including at least 1 year of hands-on Software Engineering. 5+ years of Product Management experience, preferably building B2B SaaS, enterprise products and/or tech services and/or platforms, and you are currently working as a PM today. Comfortable being the technical/product voice in a room full of engineers, including stakeholders like senior engineering leadership Able to stay composed and sound under sudden high-visibility pressure for example, a CTO persona dropping into a live customer channel. A strategic thinker who can evaluate complex challenges, prioritise effectively, and balance short-term progress with long-term success. Deeply passionate about AI using it as a reflex across your own workflows, not just in the product you build. Ability to deep dive into ambitious problem statements and create customer value. Proven track record of successfully launching and growing new products and/or significant features. Ability to work in a fast paced cross team, cross geo
