Get ready to time-travel to the '80s with HypeUp, the space-themed crypto casino that's rewriting the rulebook. Launched in February 2023, HypeUp achieved enormous revenue, and we're just getting started. Cruising at break-even, we're looking for pioneers like you to join us and build departments from the ground up. Setting new industry standards, we are creating a revolution, and if you're ready to level up, join us on this adventure where every day is a blast from the past, and the future is yours to shape!
Your mission as a Product Owner!
As the Product Owner, you will be responsible for the vision,

business objectives and resonate with market demands. You will act as
the linchpin between various stakeholders, fostering clear

toward delivering high-quality, engaging gaming experiences within the
iGaming industry.
What you’ll be doing:
- Defining the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the development
of casino games, aligning with business objectives and market demands.
- Acting
as the primary liaison between stakeholders, including game designers,
developers, analysts, and management, ensuring clear communication and
alignment of goals.
- Collaborating closely with gaming
mathematicians, player experience designers, data analysts, and other
team members to define product requirements and prioritize feature
development based on business value and user needs.
- Managing and
prioritizing the product backlog, ensuring that the team is working on
the most impactful features and enhancements.
- Leading sprint

timely delivery of game features and improvements.
- Conducting
regular reviews and assessments of game performance metrics, working
with the team to identify areas for optimization and enhancement.
- Taking
ownership of the product's success, managing risks, addressing issues,
and driving continuous improvement in game quality and player
experience.
You will thrive in this role if you have:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field.
- At
least 5 years of previous experience as a Product Owner or in a similar
role within the gaming industry, specifically in casino game
development.
- Strong understanding of casino gaming dynamics, player behavior, and market trends.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills to efficiently manage multidisciplinary teams and collaborate with stakeholders.
- Proficiency in Agile methodologies, with experience in Agile tools like Jira or Trello.
- Ability to prioritize and manage multiple projects in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Analytical
mindset with the capability to make data-driven decisions and
prioritize features based on business value and user impact.
The benefit list — or what’s in it for you:
- You’ll grow as a business leader - This is a
key role for us, providing a unique opportunity for a very broad
learning curve and getting to know every aspect of a fast-growing gaming
organization — and eventually being able to grow into a wide set of
roles. You’ll be able to influence the strategic direction and move the
needle in nearly every aspect of the business while using and honing a
very wide set of skills. For any additional educational needs, we’ll set
you up with a learning and development budget.
- A focus on flexibility and balance - We are firm believers in focusing on outcomes over controlling the
process — and our remote-first, flexible-working-hours approach to work
proves it! We want you to be able to do your best work without worrying
about things like equipment, so we’ll set you up with a work-from-home
budget so you can arrange your space to best serve your needs. This is a
role that requires a lot of mental resources and resilience, so we want
to mention that our employees have access to Spill , an employee mental health platform.
- You get to work with a brilliant team in a fast-growing environment - We’re
a young and fast-growing company building some amazing products in our
diverse portfolio, with endless opportunities for wins big and small —
and every year we organize a big offsite to celebrate them.
