Intern Technical Product Manager

About PARQIS

Parqis is building creator-led social commerce — shoppable reels where creators, brands, and shoppers meet. We're a small, fast-moving team running a real, live platform across web and mobile, built on a modern stack. Real users, real scope, real stakes.

About the Role

You'll be a Technical Product Management Intern, acting as the liaison between tech, product, and design. Your responsibilities will include ensuring the right features are built effectively and shipped successfully.

Key Responsibilities

• Connect the dots: Help translate product and design ideas into clear, buildable specifications with acceptance criteria.
• Keep work on track: Support planning, break down large ideas into scoped tasks, and identify blockers and slippage early.
• Speak both languages: Learn to communicate technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and product/UX intent to engineers.
• See the bigger picture: Coordinate work across teams and features to maintain alignment and prevent oversights.
• Follow launches end-to-end: Participate in release planning, rollout, and monitoring, and take ownership of specific tasks.
• Understand real trade-offs: Observe how features are balanced against technical debt, quality, and risk, and begin to make decisions.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Technically curious: Ability to read or learn to read code, understand basic APIs/databases, and think in systems.
• Clear communication and organization skills for managing multiple tasks.
• Self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and eager to learn quickly.
• Ability to commit 30+ hours/week for 2–6 months.

Qualifications

• Student, recent graduate, or career-switcher interested in breaking into technical product management.

Bonus points:

• Exposure to Next.js, Supabase/Postgres, Flutter, Git/GitHub, Figma, Jira/Linear, or Postman.
• Interest in creator/influencer commerce, video/reels, e-commerce, or marketplaces.
• Side projects, hackathons, or any demonstrated experience in building and shipping.

What you'll walk away with

• Real ownership of meaningful product work on live platforms.
• Direct mentorship from founders and engineers.
• A portfolio of shipped work and a strong recommendation for standout interns.
• Insight into how an early-stage startup builds its products.
• Internship certificate on completion.
• Potential for a paid role/stipend as the company grows.

Note: This is an unpaid internship focused on hands-on experience, mentorship, and real product ownership.
