Who We Are
We're not here to maintain the status quo - we're here to rewrite it, and innovate at the pace of need. Our team is laser-focused on creating cutting-edge RFID solutions for the DoD that bring passive and active RFID tech to life, solving tough integration challenges across global sites. We're a no-bench, get-after-it kind of company, where initiative is rewarded, and innovation is our default setting. If you're ready to dive in, take ownership, and ship real value, keep reading.

We need a Technical Product Manager who knows their way around hardware, software, and everything in between. You'll lead a high-performing development team to craft front-end applications, and design business logic that integrates seamlessly with RFID hardware. But this isn't just about building stuff in a vacuum - it's about getting hands-on with customers, collaborating to solve bespoke challenges, and creating solutions that directly impact DoD missions.

This role is equal parts strategic thinker, technical collaborator, and product evangelist. If you thrive in ambiguity, love building something from the ground up, and want to make a tangible difference, we want you.

What You'll Do

Connect with Customers, Drive Solutions: Collaborate with DoD end users to understand mission needs, and architect RFID solutions that work in the real world - from the on-the-glass experience to on-the-ground hardware and infrastructure setups. Travel (lightly) to user sites to gather insights, validate designs, and ensure that we're building the right things, and building them right.
• Own the Backlog, Lead the Build: Prioritize like a boss - turn user needs into epics, stories and tasks, ensuring that the team ships impactful features with speed and intention. Guide your development team through product design, agile sprints, and feature delivery to ensure the product roadmap is laser-focused on solving real problems for real people.
• Be Hands-On Technical: Jump into solutioning discussions with engineers, write user stories that bridge customer needs with technical implementation, and crush technical debt like it owes you money.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Work hand-in-hand with engineers, designers, and stakeholders to keep the lines of communication open and the overarching platform trajectory sharp.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience as a Product Owner, Product Manager, or similar.
• A knack for connecting business and technical dots - you understand the software development lifecycle, and you're no stranger to hardware.
• Experience leading agile teams, managing backlogs and maintaining product roadmaps.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity with a smile, and figure out the path forward.
• Top-notch communication skills to manage stakeholders, inspire teams, and advocate for the product.
• Certified Scrum Product Owner, PMP, or similar certification.
• U.S. citizenship required. Ability to obtain a Secret clearance (Active clearance? Even better).

Bonus Points For:

• Hands-on experience with RFID technology.
• Previous experience with the ATO/RMF process in DoD software accreditation.
• Background as a software or systems engineer.
• A proven track record of delivering solutions in DoD or similarly complex environments.
• The ability to use "GitOps" in a sentence without Googling it.
