Responsibilities
Run discovery with government and commercial customers: Surface the “why”, build business case for investment, validate proposed solutions in the field, and help grow the business by providing platform capabilities with clearly communicated delivery expectations
Own the platform roadmap for Cloud Platform & Infrastructure: work with sales, customer success, deployment engineers, and customers to convert recurring pain and opportunities into a prioritized, outcome-focused platform roadmap with clear user stories and success criteria
Productize and deliver Skydio On-Prem: define the roadmap for air-gapped and self-hosted offerings; lead cross-functional delivery (engineering, SRE, security, legal, GTM); own releases, onboarding/runbooks and launch artifacts; run pilots/rollouts to cut time-to-deploy and manual effort while preserving a secure, frictionless experience; and support exponential growth in the national security dock business
Drive compliance and certification programs (FedRAMP, CJIS, and other regulatory frameworks): translate compliance requirements into product, engineering, and operational requirements; run cross-functional programs to achieve and maintain Authority to Operate (ATO) and other certifications
Coordinate release planning, cut-downs and “what’s in/what’s out” decisions, and communicate release tradeoffs to internal teams and customers. Ensure customer feedback and bug reports are tracked and routed into the right engineering backlog
Translate FedRAMP/CJIS/other regulatory requirements into product and operational requirements; run cross-functional compliance programs and vendor/auditor interactions to achieve certification readiness. You will coordinate auditors, security, legal and engineering — not act as the security architect
Explain platform capabilities across the org, create internal playbooks/artifacts, and help GTM teams present platform value to customers
Qualification
Required
6+ years product experience shipping cloud platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products; 4+ years in senior/lead product roles delivering large, cross-functional technical programs
Demonstrated track record of turning customer pain into a prioritized roadmap and driving cross-functional programs to completion
Deep federal/regulatory domain knowledge or field experience working with federal/defense/regulatory customers (FedRAMP, CJIS, DoD RMF, or similar). You can translate regulatory controls into product requirements and run the organizational workstreams to meet them
Track record of shipping platform features that materially improved reliability, scalability, security, and/or cost. Comfortable making tradeoffs and driving decisions with incomplete data
Strong program management and stakeholder influence skills — you can align engineering, security, legal, sales, and customers toward common goals without formal authority
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience briefing executives and external auditors
