About the role
This is why Product Management matters so much here. Someone has to hold the whole picture — what is technically possible, what customers actually need, what we should build first — and turn it into something engineering and leadership can act on. As a Product Manager, you will own a significant perimeter and the autonomy that goes with it. We are growing the team precisely so that each of us can go deeper on our topics, anticipate rather than react, and have more impact across the company.
What they're looking for
- 7+ years of professional experience, including hands-on product management
- Domain experience in at least one of: earth observation, embedded systems, aerospace systems, security & defense
- Comfort at both ends of the spectrum — understand the market, and the technology
- Structured and data-driven: you bring your experience and your intuitions, but when you put a recommendation on the table you can show the analysis it stands on
- Real product obsession: you think about the bigger picture and product-market fit before you think about features
- Relentless curiosity. In a single month you might move from a satellite bus constraint, to onboard AI inference, to a defense accreditation requirement — and you need to find that stimulating rather than exhausting

At Loft, we are convinced that space programs should not have to be rebuilt from scratch every time. Our philosophy has been to productize them: we develop our own proprietary technology blocks, hardware and software, so that a customer payload can be integrated faster and more reliably than any bespoke program allows. That approach has delivered — it is why our customers reach orbit in months rather than years, and it is what makes working here different from working in the rest of the industry.
We are now taking the next step: launching and operating our own constellations, and building a new set of services on top of them. That includes a full product suite enabling third-party AI applications to run directly onboard our satellites, and a growing ecosystem of partners whose needs we have to understand and design for. Loft is expanding at a very high pace, and the range of what we build is expanding just as fast.
