About the role

Staff Product Manager to own a critical domain within MarianaOS, spanning hardware, software, and AI in a high-stakes industrial environment (mining and mineral processing) with direct impact on physical operations.

Responsibilities

  • Own a product domain end-to-end — from uncovering the right problems and setting the strategy and roadmap through shipping software that runs in real operations where consequences are physical and feedback is immediate
  • Define what to build by analyzing 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 construction 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
  • Help build the PM function — this is a small, early PM team where you’ll help establish how we work, how we prioritize, and how we develop PMs behind you

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in product management, ideally with meaningful time in environments where software intersects with physical systems, industrial operations, or safety-critical applications
  • Demonstrated ability to understand users and their problems, prioritize systematically, set clear metrics and deliver products which deliver impact at scale
  • Clear and concise communicator; you connect across a huge range of technical literacy from PhD engineers and scientists to field operators with no software background
  • Demonstrated ability to go deep on technical domains and build credibility with engineers
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams through ambiguous, complex projects with competing constraints
  • Intellectual curiosity. You want to understand how the domain works, not treat it as a black box
  • Experimentation and growth mindset / desire and ability to learn
  • High agency. You own the outcome
  • Nice to Have: experience with autonomous systems, robotics, or fleet-scale operations; capital projects experience; ML-powered products; industrial software or digital twins; digital transformation in traditional industries; engineering or technical degree
