Location: San Francisco
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Product Management

Key Responsibilities

  • •Own a product domain end-to-end — from uncovering the right problems through shipping software that runs in real operations where consequences are physical and feedback is immediate
  • •Define what to build by analyzing operational performance data and talking to domain experts — including figuring out what metrics and instrumentation need to exist in the first place
  • •Spend meaningful time at project sites, processing facilities, and mines to understand how work actually happens — prioritization comes from deep operational knowledge, not market research
  • •Work at the intersection of hardware, software, and AI — translating what models can do into what operators will trust, and what robotics can deliver into what sites need
  • •Drive clarity in ambiguous situations: break down complex problems, define scope, make tradeoffs explicit, and keep teams focused on what matters most

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 180,000 - 210,000 annually
Equity and Bonus:Equity

Key Requirements

  • •7+ years of experience in product management, with meaningful time in environments where software intersects with physical systems, industrial operations, or safety-critical applications.
  • •Demonstrated ability to go deep on technical domains and build credibility with engineers — you’ve earned trust by understanding the work, not just managing it.
  • •Experience leading cross-functional teams through ambiguous, complex projects with competing constraints.
  • •Intellectual curiosity about physical systems — you want to understand how the domain works, not treat it as a black box.
  • •Ability to communicate across a huge range of technical literacy — from PhD engineers and scientists to field operators with no software background
