Senior Product Manager

This Senior Product Manager role involves building AI-native readiness intelligence for the defense sector, specifically focusing on agentic workflows and generative interfaces for logistics and force management.

What you’d own

End-to-end product deployment including requirements, backlog, and releases
Technical architecture decisions and feasibility trade-offs with engineering
Platform evolution across data ontology and agent orchestration
Translation of operational readiness problems into technical requirements

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

✓You have a technical background (CS degree or software engineering experience)
✓You are comfortable reading code and reviewing architecture
✓You have 4+ years of experience shipping software in agile environments
✓You have experience with platform products like APIs and SDKs

Not for you if…

✗You lack a US Citizenship/Security Clearance eligibility
✗You prefer working in a vacuum without direct user research
✗You prefer high-level strategy over hands-on technical execution

Reading between the lines

The requirement to 'challenge estimates' and 'pressure-test trade-offs' implies a high-accountability environment where you must actively manage engineering velocity.
The focus on 'delivery operations' and 'reducing manual effort' suggests the role involves significant operational complexity beyond just feature shipping.

Full job description

Senior 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 drive product direction while ensuring day-to-day operational efficiency from the product development team. You will work with the engineering and AI team to make architecture decisions, scope sprints, run demos, 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 your product deployment end-to-end: requirements, backlog, sprint planning, scope decisions, releases, and outcomes.
Drive 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.
Shape 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: executive briefings, demos, PRDs, strategic docs, cross-functional alignment. You are the connective tissue.
Qualifications
US Citizen with active Secret (or above) DoW clearance (or ability to obtain quickly)
CS degree (or equivalent technical degree) or 1-2 years of software engineering experience
4+ 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 applications
Compensation
Competitive salary, equity, and performance bonus
Medical, dental, vision. Unlimited PTO.
Growth path to Staff and Group Product Manager
