About the role

Kodiak is seeking a Staff Product Manager to serve as a strategic product leader for our Level 4 autonomous trucking platform across customer applications. This is a senior individual contributor role with organization-wide influence — you will not only own a critical product area end-to-end, but shape how Kodiak thinks about product strategy, customer deployment, and the path to scaled commercialization.

What they're looking for

  • Travel: 10-20% travel to Kodiak commercial deployments and customer sites to maintain operational intuition and customer proximity
