[Remote] Principal Product Manager - Compliance Development Kit (CDK)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. k-ID is building a safer, more private internet for kids and teens, enabling platforms to meet complex age-related requirements. They are seeking a Principal Product Manager to own the Compliance Development Kit (CDK), a compliance engine designed to simplify regulatory obligations for developers. This role involves strategic oversight of CDK's development, adoption, and revenue growth while ensuring compliance at scale.ResponsibilitiesYou run CDK like its own business. You're measured on outcomes, not output – adoption, conversion, expansion, and reliability, not specs written or features shipped – and you're the single point of accountability for those numbers across Legal, Engineering, Design, GTM, and Customer SuccessGrow CDK as a product line. Own its arc from configuration tool to the compliance platform others build on, and the adoption, revenue, and expansion that prove it. What you build, defer, and kill is judged against that outcome, not a feature backlogLand new verticals. Turn the regulation-agnostic engine into shipped revenue in new categories – AI, regulated commerce, whatever's next – by building primitives that generalize instead of one-offs per customerDefine the primitive. Identify the core abstractions that make CDK genuinely differentiated (permission strings, jurisdictional rule engines, consent orchestration) and partner with engineering to build themRun the pod, not just the roadmap. You own the "what" and the "why," then you own the build – the cadence, the unblocking, the in-the-weeds calls with engineering, not a deck you hand off. Pure strategists who delegate execution won't last here; neither will pure executors who don't want to own the betKeep it unbreakable at scale. CDK enforces compliance for tens of millions of users; staying correct as the law shifts underneath is an outcome you own with engineering, not a problem you hand to themSkills8+ years of product management experience, with a track record of owning technically complex platforms, infrastructure, or developer toolsExceptional product and operational judgment in high-ambiguity environmentsThe ability to read API documentation, engage on system architecture tradeoffs, and think in systemsA productization instinct: you understand the difference between 'one customer wants this' and 'the market needs this.'Extreme speed and clarity in communication, proactively sharing status, blockers, and tradeoffs with leadershipWorld-class product taste and strong opinions on what great developer and end-user platforms look likeYou hold alignment across Legal, Engineering, GTM, and customers without waiting for consensus – and you say no wellYou've shipped product against actual regulation, such as children's privacy or online safety (COPPA, GDPR-K, the UK Online Safety Act, the DSA, Australia's Online Safety Act), or an adjacent regime like KYC, payments, or restricted goods – and can say exactly what your product had to change because of itYou've owned a rules or policy engine where the same input resolves differently by jurisdiction, age, or risk level and you know how hard it is to keep that correct as the law keeps movingYou've built verifiable parental consent, age assurance / estimation, or age-gating flows and you've moved completion rates through a multi-step funnel, not just shipped the flowYou've owned a developer product (APIs, SDKs, or drop-in widgets) and measured yourself on integration time and time-to-first-value, not feature countYou've worked with config-as-code, entitlement systems, or versioned configuration (branches, diffs, test → live promotion), and you know the difference between hardcoding rules and building systems that adaptBenefitsCompetitive salary and Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) – real participation in the upside.Comprehensive health coverage – medical, dental, and vision, plus wellbeing support.Direct work with founders and product leadership, and exposure to the world's largest platforms as they ship on you.A collaborative, low-politics, trust-based culture – building technology that makes the internet safer for kids without making it worse for everyone else.Company OverviewHelping developers and platforms deliver age-appropriate experiences for kids and teens and comply with complex youth regulations worldwide.
