Slide builds engaging communities driven by user-created content. We aim to empower virtual entrepreneurship by enabling thousands, if not millions, of our users to build wealth through our products. We offer users virtual "building blocks" with which to create their own amazing content to show off to friends, or trade and sell with others in the community. We define true success as our users becoming profitable. 

Our portfolio of products include fun applications and virtual communities such as Slideshow, SuperPoke!, SuperPoke! Pets, SPP! Ranch, Top Friends, and FunSpace.

Slide was founded in 2005 by PayPal co-founder Max Levchin and is backed by Mayfield Fund, Blue Run Ventures, Khosla Ventures and Founders Fund.

Slide's SuperPoke! Pets (SPP) team seeks a Product Manager, to conceive, design, plan, and execute on ways to grow and engage the SPP audience. Do you want to be challenged in a role that allows you to impact hundreds of thousands of users every day? Do you obsess over "nailing it" and feel embarrassed if users don't love your product? Do you inspire instead of ordering? Can you motivate a skeptical team of smart engineers that live on caffeine alone for three days just to get it right, whatever "it" is? Are you prepared to live on caffeine alone alongside them to continue inspiring them? Do you believe that measuring and optimizing is always better than guessing, but guessing is better than accepting defeat? Do you draw graphs and charts compulsively on white boards to make a point? Do you want to work with some of the brightest people in the Silicon Valley? Are you fascinated by online economies and the users and goods that drive them?
