Realm builds AI for the mining industry. We integrate with existing mine infrastructure — cameras, SCADA systems, drones, and data repositories — to predict equipment failures, detect unsafe behaviors, and optimize operations. Our platform deploys intelligence in various ways to improve productivity and safety — monitoring PPE compliance via computer vision, optimizing froth flotation processes, analyzing longwall shearer performance, tracking MSHA citation patterns, and more.
Our founders started their careers at Palantir before going on to build Blend Labs (publicly traded fintech, founded as CTO) and Even (acquired by Walmart). Our leadership team brings experience from Uber, Metropolis, and other high-bar organizations. We're a small, senior team that ships daily to production mines.
AI isn't just our product — it's how we build. We're an AI-first engineering team that uses the latest models and tooling throughout our development process, moving faster and at higher quality than traditional teams our size.
Our culture values high agency, deep ownership, collaboration, and autonomy across a fully remote workforce. Teams here move quickly and make meaningful contributions to a product that shapes global industrial outcomes.
The Role
As our first product manager, you will own the entire product lifecycle—from idea to launch—and play a critical role in shaping what we build and why. You will dig deep to understand the challenges our customers and their teams face, define and prioritize what matters most, and deliver solutions that move us closer to our ambitious goals. You will build a tight feedback loop with engineering and sales in the early days. If you thrive on ownership and love being in the weeds while still seeing the big picture, this role could be a great fit.
What You’ll Do
- Spend ~25% of your time onsite with current customers in the US (occasionally international)
- Develop a deep understanding of customer operations. Shadow every role and team to understand their day to day, how departments communicate and work together, reporting, etc.
- Vibe-code prototypes onsite. As ideas come up in the field, you will develop prototypes, show them to users in the field, and iterate on them while feeding insights back to the engineering team.
- Deeply understand customer pain points and turn them into great features alongside a team of world-class engineers
- Shape standards with government partners while building for industrial operators
- Break down and move from ambiguous problems to viable solutions across a variety of projects and work streams
- Drive the product roadmap for Realm and map solutions to business goals
- Help industrial executives, management, and field workers succeed by expanding the capabilities of our product
- Leverage data and customer feedback to iterate and evolve product offerings, separating the signal from the noise for the core product experience
- Contribute to the vision, strategy, and processes that allow Realm to grow the product management function as we scale
What We’re Looking For
- 2-8+ years of product management or software experience, with a track record of shipping great work
- Low ego, high EQ, and a strong collaborator
- Fluency in data and making data-driven product decisions, while also trusting your gut
- You know how to ruthlessly prioritize, think clearly about trade-offs
- Demonstrated ability to lead and influence small teams of engineers toward a common goal
- Experience building product for enterprise, industrial, or security software products
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Strong design sense with a keen eye for detail; proficient in Figma for product and UI/UX collaboration
- Prototyping skills and use of AI coding tools to build prototypes
- Basic coding/hacking abilities
- Move fast, can tackle ambiguous problems, and sweat the details
- Based in US - citizen or permanent resident
- Expertise around mining, industrial safety regulations, etc.
- Work on mission-critical problems at the intersection of AI, security, and global infrastructure
- Shape the brand and product of a category-defining company from the ground up
- High-ownership, high-impact role with direct influence on company growth
- Competitive compensation with significant equity upside
- Dynamic, remote work environment with global reach
