Product Manager

This Product Manager role involves building AI-native readiness intelligence for the defense sector. You will manage specific product areas within an agentic workflow and generative interface platform.

What you’d own

Specific product area requirements, backlog, and prioritization
Technical trade-offs in architecture and feasibility
Data ontology management and agent orchestration (MCP/A2A)
Translation of operational readiness problems into product requirements

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

✓You have 2+ years of experience shipping software in agile environments
✓You are comfortable reading code and reviewing architecture
✓You have experience with AI/ML products or defense technology
✓You have a technical degree (CS) and can hold your own in engineering discussions

Not for you if…

✗You prefer to work without direct interaction with users
✗You are looking for a non-technical product role without architectural involvement
✗You cannot obtain or maintain a US Security Clearance

Reading between the lines

The requirement to 'challenge estimates that don't add up' implies a high degree of autonomy and the need to push back on engineering timelines.
The focus on 'agentic workflows' and 'generative interfaces' suggests you will be working on cutting-edge, non-standard AI implementations rather than just standard LLM wrappers.
The mention of 'delivery operations' implies you will be responsible for the operational success of deployments, not just the initial product launch.

Product Manager
Virtualitics Iris and Forward Deployed Applications
Remote (DC area preferred) | Active Security Clearance or Security Clearance Eligibility | HQ: Pasadena, CA
Virtualitics builds AI-native readiness intelligence for the US and allied nations’ defense sector. Our IRO application layer and Virtualitics AI Platform (VAIP) transform how defense organizations act on maintenance, logistics, and global force management data. Our team is actively refining agentic workflows, composable AI agents, and generative interfaces to replace static dashboards with dynamic, conversational intelligence.
The Role
You will work closely with cross-functional peers to own a specific product area, leading discovery and defining success metrics while ensuring day-to-day operational efficiency from the product development team. You will work with the engineering and AI teams to understand architectural tradeoffs, scope upcoming efforts, and pressure-test trade-offs in real time. The product serves two audiences: DoD operators and delivery teams (data scientists, engineers, partner integrators) who configure and maintain deployments of Virtualitics’ product offering.
Responsibilities
Own a specific product area: requirements, backlog management, prioritization, scope decisions, releases, and outcomes.
Partner on technical decisions with engineering: architecture, feasibility, trade-offs. Challenge estimates that don't add up.
Bridge users and engineers: translate operational readiness problems into product requirements through direct user research. You’ll be hands on with real users.
Contribute to platform evolution: R&D work across data ontology management, agent orchestration (MCP/A2A), generative interfaces.
Support delivery operations: ensure the product reduces manual effort across contract types and deployment models.
Communicate clearly: demos, PRDs, cross-functional alignment. You are the connective tissue.
Qualifications
Eligibility to acquire and maintain a US Security Clearance (requires US Citizenship)
CS degree (or equivalent technical degree)
2+ years of product management or software engineering experience shipping software in agile environments
Comfortable reading code, reviewing architecture, and holding your own in technical discussions
Excellent written and verbal communication.
Preferred:
Experience with AI/ML products, defense/government tech, or classified environments (SIPR/NIPR)
Startup experience, especially navigating the scalability and automation phase
Platform product experience: technical interfaces (APIs, SDKs) alongside standard web apps
1-2 years of software engineering experience
Compensation
Competitive salary, equity, and performance bonus
Medical, dental, vision. Unlimited PTO.
Growth path to Senior then Staff or Group Product Manager
