Product Manager

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Area execution Own the backlog, PRDs, and release planning for your product area; keep requirements, acceptance criteria, and open questions clear enough that engineering can execute without ambiguity.
• Partner with engineering leads on scoping, sequencing, and trade-offs within each release; help the team make good calls on what to cut, defer, or simplify.
• Track delivery, surface risks early, and keep stakeholders informed with crisp written updates.
• Contribute to the roadmap for your area under the direction of the responsible senior PM or the VP of Product, bringing data, customer input, and your own point of view.
• Discovery & customer understanding Run customer and user interviews (external customers, internal mission teams, partners), synthesize what you hear, and turn it into concrete requirements and prioritization input.
• Instrument your product, track usage and performance, and use evidence rather than opinion when making the case for what to build next.
• Follow won/lost deals and customer escalations relevant to your area; feed structured observations back to the product and engineering teams.
• Productization support Contribute to productization decisions in your area — capability packaging, tiering, SLAs, documentation, deprecation — in partnership with the senior PM who owns the broader area.

Job requirements

• 3–5 years of Product Management experience shipping technical products — ideally spanning software, hardware, or data systems.
• Demonstrated ability to translate customer and user needs into clear requirements and acceptance criteria, and to drive them through to release.
• Strong written communication: PRDs, decision memos, release notes, and status updates that are clear enough to act on.
• Comfort working closely with engineers on technical trade-offs; able to read enough of a design doc or an API spec to ask the right questions.
• Strong execution instincts: can run a backlog, keep a release on track, and know when to escalate.
• Curiosity and willingness to grow inside a deep-tech domain; receptive to feedback and coaching from more senior PMs.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field.
• Exposure to remote sensing, geospatial, Earth observation, or adjacent deep-tech data domains.
