One platform for the entire robotics lifecycle. Multi-language SDKs, hardware abstracted into simple APIs, and fleet management from first prototype to global scale. Backed by USV.
About the role
We’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to own a core area of the Viam platform. You’ll set the roadmap for your area, define how product and engineering make decisions together, and partner with senior leadership on strategy: what keeps developers from adopting Viam, which experiences become bottlenecks, and where physical AI and robotics are heading with respect to how software engineers get involved.
What they're looking for
- Experience as a software engineer, building and shipping production software used by real users, plus 8+ years in product management since. The engineering background is a requirement, not a preference
- Experience building developer-facing or infrastructure products like APIs, SDKs, or platforms, where the user is an engineer
- A track record of taking products from ambiguity to production, including migrations, deprecations, and breaking changes that real customers depend on
- Technical credibility with engineers. You can run the SDK yourself, read the code well enough to ask the right question, and hold your own in a design review
- Ability to do real market research and form a product strategy from it, rather than execute one handed to you. This includes time spent directly with users in their own environment
- Comfort defining success metrics and using data to decide what to build next

You have worked as a software engineer, which is a hard requirement here; the role sits close enough to the code that it does not work otherwise. Prior robotics or IoT experience isn’t required, but you should be excited to work close to hardware and physical systems.
