Staff Product Manager, Software

About the role

Muon Space is hiring a Staff Product Manager to own two of the highest-leverage software product surfaces in the company: our commercial Data Products business (GNSS-R, MSIR, and AICore-derived offerings) and the Muon Sim platform that underpins our ability to deliver mission-optimized constellations. Reporting to the VP of Product, you will own the productization decisions — pricing architecture, packaging, SLAs, customer tiering, data delivery — that will define the unit economics of our data business for years to come. This is a deliberate Staff-level (L6) IC role: the work requires the seniority to make load-bearing commercial decisions, the technical fluency to engage with platform and infrastructure leadership as a peer, and the judgment to operate across two adjacent surfaces with one owner until portfolio scale warrants a split.

Responsibilities

Data Products & Commercial Strategy

• Own the commercial product strategy for Muon’s Data Products portfolio, including GNSS-R, MSIR, fire data products, and AICore-derived commercial offerings (defense-aligned variants remain under our Federal PM lead).
• Define and publish the pricing architecture, packaging, and customer tiering for Muon’s data products — including how capabilities are bundled, what is included at each tier, and how pricing scales with refresh cadence, latency, and AOI / coverage.
• Define data SLA tiers and align them with downlink prioritization across the constellation; partner with Mission Operations and Bits-to-Ground to ensure SLA commitments are operationally achievable.
• Partner with the BD Data Manager and Growth org on data contracts, deal structure, and the boundary between standardized packaging and bespoke commercial terms.
• Drive the shift from bespoke, project-based data contracts to standardized, tiered packaging — a primary ROI vector for the role.
• Conduct customer interviews, gather feedback on product–market fit, and translate insights into roadmap decisions and pricing experiments.
• Analyze why deals are won or lost, identify product gaps and competitive advantages, and feed structured insights back into product development.

Muon Sim

• Own product strategy and roadmap for the Muon Sim platform, recognized internally as a core differentiator for Muon’s mission engineering value proposition.
• Translate complex mission modeling, simulation, and digital-twin requirements into a coherent product surface that serves both internal mission engineering teams and external customers.
• Define the productization path for Muon Sim — including the high-side variant on the roadmap — and the commercial and licensing model that supports it.
• Partner with simulation, mission engineering, and software teams to balance fidelity, performance, and time-to-market across releases.

Cross-functional Coordination

• Partner closely with engineering teams across software, data infrastructure, ground systems, and cloud — operating at peer level with infrastructure and platform engineering leadership.
• Coordinate with the Director of PM — Federal on the boundary between commercial and defense-aligned data product variants.
• Coordinate with the Junior PM covering Muon Command and ground operations on adjacencies between data delivery and mission operations software.
• Support Go-To-Market teams with sales enablement, technical documentation, RFP responses, customer demonstrations, and product positioning materials.
• Work with marketing on product messaging, website content, case studies, whitepapers, and thought-leadership content that drives demand generation for Muon’s data and software portfolio.
• Collaborate with the VP of Product and the broader PM team on strategic roadmap decisions, prioritization trade-offs, and Series-C-aligned narrative.

Required Qualifications

• 8–10 years of Product Management experience, with demonstrated success owning data, SaaS, or API products in technically complex environments.
• Proven track record shipping pricing architecture, packaging, and SLA design for multi-segment data products — and translating those decisions into commercial outcomes.
• Strong fluency working with infrastructure and platform engineering leadership; able to influence cross-organizational technical investment without direct authority.
• Experience defining and operating customer-facing data delivery, including APIs, portals, and tiered SLAs.
• Demonstrated ability to translate customer mission needs into detailed product requirements and acceptance criteria across software and data systems.
• Experience with configuration control and change management for prod
