Product Manager at Defense Unicorns

At Defense Unicorns, we believe that software should act as a strategic deterrent. We are a team of innovators, engineers, and veterans dedicated to streamlining software delivery so our customers can focus on their most critical missions. By building secure, cloud-native solutions, we help federal and private sector partners integrate technology with speed and confidence. We are looking for a passionate leader to join our product team and help us clear the path for the missions that matter most.

The opportunity

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to take radical ownership of products that make a tangible impact. You will report directly to the Director of Product and oversee two distinct, high-impact areas. One team focuses on a foundational open-source tool, while the other manages cloud-scale infrastructure and the tooling required to make that infrastructure easily consumable. This is a fully remote role that requires a blend of technical depth, business strategy, and a genuine passion for national security.

A day in the life

• You will define and own the end-to-end product vision, ensuring that our roadmap aligns with both business objectives and the needs of our diverse customer segments.
• You will collaborate closely with engineering teams to balance technical trade-offs, manage delivery expectations, and synthesize external feedback into actionable development plans.
• You will serve as a bridge between technical teams and stakeholders, clearly communicating our value proposition and objectives to everyone from individual engineers to executive leadership.

Who you are

You are a seasoned professional with a strong background in Product Management and a deep interest in the intersection of business, open-source software, and security. You thrive in fast-paced, remote environments and bring the following expertise to the table:

• A solid technical understanding of infrastructure as code, Kubernetes, platform tooling, and various cloud platforms like AWS and Azure.
• Experience working with open-source infrastructure management tools and an understanding of the unique needs of open-source communities.
• Proven ability to manage products using Agile methodologies while maintaining clear communication across technical and non-technical teams.
• Proficiency in using modern collaboration and management tools such as GitHub, Notion, and Hubspot.
• A commitment to continuous learning, keeping pace with industry trends in DevOps, regulated IT, and the CNCF community.

Why you'll love it here

We offer a competitive salary range of $135,286 to $175,500 USD, determined by your experience and national benchmarking. Beyond the compensation, we provide a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you and your family:

• Financial Security: A 401k retirement plan and stock options to help you grow with us.
• Work-Life Balance: Unlimited paid time off, including mandatory holiday breaks and generous parental leave.
