About the Role
We are not just looking for a product thinker; we seek a technical product detective who can communicate fluently and collaborate deeply with our engineering teams. You will dive into the global technical infrastructure of game publishing, with a core mission to transform the API capabilities and technology ecosystems of overseas channels (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Discord, etc.) into actionable, scalable, and data-driven product solutions. Your analysis, planning, and validation work will directly enable automated marketing, global player community operations, and data-driven growth.
Key Responsibilities
1. Global Channel Technology & Competitive Analysis
- Deep Channel Research: Systematically research and conduct hands-on testing of the latest APIs (e.g., Meta Graph API, WhatsApp Business API, TikTok Events API), SDKs, Webhooks, and commercial tools across core global platforms.
- Capability Assessment: Produce technical feasibility assessments and integration path analysis based on interpreting complex technical documentation and data tracking specifications.
- Competitive analysis: Monitor and analyze the productized operational strategies of leading global channels (e.g., Discord bots, Telegram Mini Apps, Instagram AR filters). Hypothesize competitors technical architecture, data flows, and implementation approaches (e.g., automation, third-party integration).
- Policy Impact: Track and assess the impact of platform technical policy changes (data privacy, authentication, payment interfaces, e.g., iOS ATT) on current and planned product solutions.
- Deliverables: Produce insightful, business-reference reports and technical assessment documents (English/Bilingual).
2. Product Planning & Technical Solution Design
- Product Blueprinting: Based on primary research and market gaps, contribute to planning initial product blueprints for global user growth, automated marketing, or community engagement features.
- Technical Tooling: Plan technical tool products (e.g., automated asset management, cross-channel analytics dashboards, A/B testing systems) aimed at enhancing publishing and operational efficiency.
- Documentation: Draft rigorous English Product Briefs and technical sections of PRDs, clearly defining technical boundaries, data interaction logic, and success metrics.
- Prototyping & Communication: Utilize tools like Figma or Miro for low-fidelity prototyping. Communicate complex designs effectively to engineers using UML sequence diagrams, flowcharts, or architecture sketches.
- Third-Party Integration: Design technical integration plans with external services (e.g., CRM, CDP, analytics tools), detailing data connection specifications and field mapping.
3. Validation, Data & Quality Assurance
- A/B Testing & Validation: Assist in designing, monitoring, and validating the effectiveness of new features/strategies using quantitative data, user feedback, and qualitative analysis of community sentiment (English).
- Data Analysis: Process and analyze channel-level operational data to build data dashboards and derive preliminary product iteration suggestions from key trends.
- Quality & Integrity: Lead or participate deeply in User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring not only front-end interaction validity but also the integrity of data pipelines, API call accuracy, and system performance.
Requirements:
- A strong academic background in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, or a related STEM field (targeting the Class of 2025 or later).
- The commitment to a minimum of 3 consecutive months of full-time internship (5 days/week).
- Technical working proficiency in English, including the ability to:
- Quickly read and interpret complex English technical documentation (APIs, developer guides, GitHub issues).
- Fluently participate in bilingual technical discussions (Chinese and English) to articulate and debate technical solutions.
- Exceptional logical and systematic thinking to deconstruct complex business requirements into clear technical modules.
- Outstanding technical communication skills to effectively bridge the gap between business stakeholders and R&D teams.
- Strong curiosity and hands-on drive for exploring and rapidly validating new technologies.
You Will:
- Gain end-to-end project experience by deeply involving yourself in building publishing technology products that serve tens of millions of users.
- Rapidly enhance your dual-skill set in both technical acumen and business product thinking, under the guidance of senior technical product managers.
- Develop a deep, global perspective on the technology ecosystems and best practices of major internet platforms.
- Become a sought-after Technical Product talent within the industry.
