Crimson Enago flagship products

At Crimson Enago we are laser-focused on building AI-powered tools and services that significantly boost the productivity of researchers and professionals. Every researcher or professional goes through the stages of knowledge discovery, knowledge acquisition, knowledge creation, and knowledge dissemination. However, each stage is cognitively heavy and is tightly coupled. In this direction, we have our flagship products Trinka and RAx that focus on making all these four stages easy and fast.   


About Trinka

Trinka (www.trinka.ai) is an AI-powered English grammar checker and language enhancement writing assistant designed for academic and technical writing. Built by linguists, scientists, and language lovers, Trinka finds and corrects thousands of complex writing errors — so you don’t have to. Trinka corrects contextual spelling mistakes, and advanced grammar errors, enhances vocabulary usage, and provides writing suggestions in real-time. Trinka goes beyond grammar to help professionals and academics ensure professional, concise, and engaging writing. With subject-specific correction, Trinka understands the nuances in the expression of each subject and ensures the writing is fit for the subject. Trinka's Enterprise solutions come with unlimited access and great customization options to all of Trinka’s powerful capabilities.


About Enago RAx

RAx (www.raxter.io) is the first smart workspace that helps researchers (students, professors, and corporate researchers) to be better and faster in their research projects. Powered with proprietary AI algorithms and a unique approach to solving problems with design and tech, RAx is set to be the default workspace for any research-heavy projects. Launched in 2019, the product connects information (Research papers, Blogs, Wiki, Books, Courses, Videos, etc.) to behaviors (reading, writing, annotating, discussing & more), opening up newer insights and opportunities in the academic space that was otherwise not possible (or not imaginable).



About the team

We are a bunch of passionate researchers, engineers, and designers who came together to build a product that can revolutionize the way any research-intensive projects are done. Reducing cognitive load and helping people to convert information into knowledge, is at the core of our mission. Our engineering team is building a scalable platform that deals with tons of data, AI processing over the data, and interactions of users from across the globe. We believe research plays a key role in making the world a better place, and we want to make it easy to approach and fun to do!


Role overview

We are seeking a Lead Product Manager with 5+ years of user-experience-driven product management experience (preferably B2C productivity SaaS), and either 3+ years of full-stack/backend development experience (preferably in product companies), or 3+ years of AI/ML/NLP research engineering experience. You will be working very closely with other product managers, product designers, user behavior researchers,  marketers, engineering leadership, research leadership, and top management to ensure the successful delivery of projects and pragmatic (re-)designing of the product roadmap in an agile, iterative way. What we would love to see in you are the following traits:

First-principle product-thinking: You would lead the product in our earliest stages, helping us build our platform products from the ground up and leading us through launch.

Build for an engaged community: Our users are professionals who are constantly in the process of knowledge discovery, assimilation, creation, collation, and dissemination. They work within closely-knit professional communities and are heavily influenced by thought leaders. You are hugely motivated to get deep into the psyche of the target audience and ensure both community-driven product-thinking and product-driven community growth.

Data-driven, evidence-centric product-thinking: You are able to value experience-driven gut feeling as a starting hypothesis and love to validate that through primary and secondary research following agile methodologies suitable for early-stage startups. You love operating amidst alternative views and honestly seek to validate them.

Collaborative mindset: You strongly believe that great ideas can come from any corner of the organization and needs to be valued and processed in a collaborative way. You are a team player who believes that ideas belong to the team and their success or failure is not that of an individual's.
