The super-magical Wi-Fi landline for kids. No screens, no texting, no strangers — just real conversation with Grandma, besties, and contacts you approve. Plug in, twirl that cord, and time-travel to pure voice fun. Backed by Greylock.
About the role
If the Tin Can doesn't work when you pick up the phone, nothing else matters. A call that drops, crackles, or won't connect isn't a small bug — we’ve broken our promise to families. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own two things end to end: getting devices reliably connected, and making every call sound clear, no matter what router, room, or Wi-Fi setup we’re up against.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of product management experience with connected hardware or IoT products, plus real depth in audio or telecom/VoIP quality
- Genuine technical fluency in networking and audio, you can hold your own in a conversation about jitter, packet loss, or dual-band handoff
- Someone comfortable digging into logs and firmware behavior to find the root cause
- Experience partnering closely with firmware or embedded engineering teams
- Fluency using AI as a multiplier across diagnosis, analysis, and testing, this is how we work, not a nice-to-have
- A clear communicator, you can translate a deep technical problem into a plan non-engineers can follow

This is a technical, hands-on role. You'll dig into how our devices handle mesh networks and dual-band Wi-Fi to solve connectivity, and work directly with firmware engineers on the audio path — echo, packet loss, static, volume — to solve quality. You'll figure out where the real failures are happening (in the field, in the data,...
