  • Collaborate with engineers, designers, and experts in the field of procurement and supply chain on frontier technologies

  • Work with go-to-market stakeholders to communicate product capabilities and vision to prospects

  • Gather user and prospect feedback and perform market research to guide product development

  • Clearly communicate progress and strategy across the whole company

  • Coordinate with marketers to ensure that customers are aware of and excited by launches

  • Work directly with founders in a high-speed environment

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree (or relevant equivalent) in a STEM subject. Ideally computer science, engineering, information systems, mathematics, physics, applied sciences.

  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management

  • Experience managing a product through a full product lifecycle

  • Understanding of compiling and analyzing large-scale complex data sets and using that to drive decision making

The Team

We're a driven team, who've helped build some incredible companies (Tesla, Waymo, Google, Meta, Amazon, Dropbox, Airbnb and many more). And now we're tackling an exciting problem space ripe for disruption.

Our team is small, but our ambitions are big. So we only hire the absolute best and try to learn every day while having a lot of fun.
