About Axon

AppLovin is a global leader in performance advertising. Our recommendation engine, Axon, powers one of the largest mobile ad platforms on the planet and is rapidly expanding into e-commerce ads.
We’re not a big, slow org. Axon R&D is fewer than 100 people powering a multi-billion-dollar business. The culture is lean, ultra-efficient, and fiercely outcome-driven. People here are very smart, very humble, and deeply obsessed with shipping the best products—not with politics or slides.
This is a place where small teams move the market.

About the Role

We’re looking for a high-impact Product Manager to join Axon in Beijing.

In this role, you’ll:

• Build the next generation of advertising and e-commerce products that go head-to-head with industry titans.

• Work directly with top-tier engineers to turn ideas into products that ship fast and scale globally.

• See your work show up in billions of ad impressions—and in the company’s revenue.

You won’t be a tiny cog in a giant machine. You’ll have real ownership, real responsibility, and real visibility. The features you design and the decisions you make will directly shape how Axon competes and wins.

What You’ll Do

• Own product features end-to-end for our ad and mediation products: define the problem, shape the solution, align stakeholders, launch, and iterate.

• Design powerful tools and workflows with engineering, design, and business teams so advertisers and internal teams can do more with less effort.

• Use data, experiments, and user feedback to prioritize boldly, validate ideas, and double down on what works.

• Scan the AdTech landscape and turn market and tech trends into concrete product bets that keep us ahead.

• Tell the story clearly—write sharp specs, explain trade-offs, and keep everyone aligned on why we’re building what we’re building.

Who You Are

• Fluent in English and Mandarin.

• Degree in a quantitative or technical field preferred (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Economics, Finance, Statistics).

• Some experience (including internships) with software products in technical or product-centric roles; AdTech understanding is a plus but not a must.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; you’re comfortable making decisions with data as well as uncertainty and owning the outcome.

• Highly organized and execution-driven—you can scope, plan, and drive projects with multiple stakeholders.

• Self-starter who likes figuring things out from 0→1 and isn’t afraid to get hands-dirty with details.

• Excellent communicator and teammate, able to work across engineering, commercial, and other functions.

• Energized by a fast-moving, ever-changing environment.

• Bonus: experience with UI/UX/design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, etc.) and a good product sense.

Why This Role is Special

• Massive leverage – A tiny, elite team powering a huge business. As a PM, your work doesn’t just “add value”—it moves the needle.

• Front-row seat to the fight – You’ll help us challenge the biggest ad platforms in the world, not just copy them.

• True ownership – You’ll define problems, set direction, and see your product decisions show up in real metrics and real revenue.

• Best people, low ego – Work with sharp, down-to-earth people who care about results and impact, not titles or politics.

• Ship, learn, repeat – We launch fast, measure honestly, and iterate aggressively. If you love building, this is your playground.

If you want to learn at high speed, ship products that touch millions of users, and help a lean team take on industry giants, we’d love to talk.
