We're still early in our journey, which means every person who joins shapes the future of our product, culture, and growth. If you're excited by big challenges, global impact, and the chance to grow fast with a world-class team, ARQ is the place to do it.

The Role

We're hiring a Product Owner to build and own ARQ's operating system: the company-wide KPI platform, the employee directory it runs on, and the back-office tools that let ARQ grow and stay efficient. ARQ barely pays for external software anymore. The systems we run on are the ones we build ourselves, and this role owns them.

You'll work directly with the founders, engineers, and department leads across the company. The mandate isn't to patch together basic internal tools. It's to own the platforms that ARQ runs on end-to-end.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning the product strategy, roadmap, and execution of ARQ's operating system end-to-end.
• Shipping the company-wide KPI platform that the founders, board, and every department use to run ARQ.
• Building out the employee directory: profiles, org chart, people-to-KPI attribution, integration with our HR stack.
• Driving department leads across the company to define, commit to, and report against the KPIs that matter for their area.
• Partnering with back-office engineering on schema and architecture decisions to make the platforms scale together.
• Tracking adoption and usage, iterating fast based on internal feedback.

What You'll Need

• 2 to 5 years of experience with 2+ years experience at a top technology company.
• A founder's mindset: a problem solver ready to roll up their sleeves to build from scratch.
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills; comfortable going deep into data and processes.
• Excellent written communicator. Confident working directly with founders and cross-functional stakeholders.
• A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes full ownership.

Nice-to-haves

• Experience building internal tools, BI platforms, or HR-tech products.
• Familiarity with metrics frameworks, dashboards, or org-data products.
• Spanish or Portuguese language skills.
