Technical Product Manager, Navigator

About the role

We are looking for a Technical Product Manager to own the technical side of how Navigator gets built, from the architecture conversation through the clean handoff to engineering.

Responsibilities

• Shape Technical Product Strategy
  • Guide product decisions with architectural insight, ensuring we commit to designs the system can actually support.
• Partner with product and design early
  • Turn “what if” into “here is how” before a sprint is on the line.
• Champion technical excellence while keeping the team fast
  • Translate Navigator’s integration surface, including partner systems like Anduril Lattice and Palantir Foundry and government systems of record like Maven Smart System, GCSS-Army, Vantage, and ADVANA, into requirements engineering can build against.
  • Run the pre-development sessions where product intent meets technical constraint and drive them to a real decision.
• Ship Products That Matter
  • Own the technical side of the lifecycle from concept through deployment, with clean handoffs and clear success criteria.
  • Write specs that hold up against the architecture and do not drift mid-build.
  • Jump into sprint planning and stand-ups to unblock the team and make real-time trade-offs.

Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of software development experience, with a focus on systems thinking and architecture.
• Proven ability to dive deep into technical specs and explain complex concepts to non-technical partners.
• Experience with APIs, distributed systems, and modern development practices.
• A track record working closely with both product and engineering, holding the line between technical excellence and shipping value.
• Comfort with agile methodologies and modern collaboration tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication, especially translating between domains.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a security clearance.
• Bonus Points: Experience integrating with enterprise or government systems of record, or with partner platforms in a multi-vendor environment. Data platform experience; Advana or Palantir Foundry knowledge is a strong plus. Exposure to defense, logistics, or mission-critical B2B systems. A knack for making complex systems feel simple to users.
