Staff Product Manager

Virtualitics is a company specializing in AI-native readiness intelligence for the defense sector. The Staff Product Manager will work closely with cross-functional teams to drive product direction, ensuring operational efficiency and collaborating with engineering and AI teams.

Responsibilities:

• Own your product deployments end-to-end: defining strategic vision, requirements, backlog, sprint planning, scope decisions, releases, and outcomes
• Drive technical decisions with engineering: architecture, feasibility, trade-offs, maintaining strong company-wide standards. 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. Collaborate with other senior technical staff to define the vision
• 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. As a Staff PM, you should also be mentoring other product team members

Requirements:

• US Citizen with active Secret, TS, or TS/SCI clearance (or ability to obtain quickly)
• CS degree (or equivalent technical degree) or 1-2 years of software engineering experience
• 6+ 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
• 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
