Technical Product Management Intern

Technical Product Management Intern — Parqis
Unpaid Internship · [Remote / City] · 2–6 months · [30+ hrs/week] · Works directly with founders & engineers
Please note: This is an unpaid internship focused on hands-on experience, mentorship, and real product ownership. You'll get a certificate, a strong recommendation (if you crush it), and genuine portfolio-worthy work — not a salary.
Who we are
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.
The role
You'll be a Technical Product Management Intern — the glue between tech, product, and design. This isn't coffee-runs and note-taking. You'll help make sure the right things get built, get built well, and actually ship. Read requirements, question a Figma flow, unblock an engineer, track a release to the finish line — and learn how a real product team operates from the inside.
What you'll learn & do
• Connect the dots. Help turn product/design ideas into clear, buildable specs with real acceptance criteria.
• Keep work on track. Support planning, break big ideas into scoped tasks, and help surface blockers and slippage early.
• Speak both languages. Learn to translate tech trade-offs for non-tech folks and product/UX intent for engineers.
• See the bigger picture. Help coordinate work across teams and features so changes stay aligned and nothing slips through the cracks.
• Follow launches end-to-end. Sit in on release plans, rollout, and monitoring — and own pieces of it yourself.
• Understand real trade-offs. Watch how features get balanced against tech debt, quality, and risk — and start making calls.
You'll be a great fit if you
• Are a student, recent grad, or career-switcher eager to break into technical product management.
• Are technically curious — you can read (or are learning to read) code, understand basic APIs/databases, and think in systems.
• Communicate clearly and stay organized across lots of moving parts.
• Are self-driven, comfortable with ambiguity, and hungry to learn fast.
• Can commit [30+ hours/week] for 2–6 months.
Bonus points
• Any 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 anything showing you build and ship.
What you'll walk away with
• Real ownership of meaningful product work on a live platform.
• Direct mentorship from founders and engineers.
• A portfolio of shipped work + a strong recommendation for standout interns.
• A front-row seat to how an early-stage startup actually builds.
• Internship certificate on completion. Potential for a paid role / stipend as we grow.
