Required Skills
Job Description
What we do (and why it matters):
Swarmer develops software that makes drones autonomous and allows them to operate together, in large teams, without pilots required. Our technology has been battle-tested across 100,000+ combat missions in Ukraine — the world's most intense proving ground for drone warfare. We just closed a $15M Series A (the largest investment in Ukrainian defense tech since the war began) and we're scaling operations to serve NATO-aligned nations.
This isn't theoretical. This is software that's being used right now to save lives and defend democracy.
What we’re looking for:
We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to shape and deliver cutting-edge autonomous defense products that meet real-world operational needs. This role blends strategic product leadership, deep military domain expertise, and hands-on execution in high-stakes environments.
You’ll be a good fit if you have:
• 3–5+ years of experience in product management, ideally with complex technical, AI, hardware, or data-driven products.
• Strong product thinking: ability to turn ambiguity into clear, impactful product decisions.
• Analytical skills: structured approach to translating complex operational needs into product strategy.
• Excellent communication: ability to bridge technical teams and military end-users effectively.
• Ownership mindset: high accountability and sound judgment in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
Would be an advantage:
• Military or defense domain fluency: prior service, direct work with military units, or strong collaboration with government/defense stakeholders.
• Technical acumen: familiarity with UAVs, autonomous systems, AI solutions, and command & control systems.
What you’ll do:
• Customer discovery: deeply research military users, their workflows, and real-world mission scenarios.
• Product development: translate operational needs into product specifications, roadmaps, and backlog priorities.
• Field validation: test and refine products in real-world environments, incorporating feedback from operators.
• Product execution: manage and prioritize backlog, resolve dependencies, and ensure smooth delivery.
• Cross-functional collaboration: work closely with engineering, sales, support, data science, operations, and field teams.
• Stakeholder management: build and maintain strong relationships with military and government partners.
• Strategic influence: shape product direction through research, insights, and operational feedback.
• Go-to-market & adoption: define deployment and rollout strategies, support onboarding and training, and ensure adoption across military units.
• Metrics & outcomes: define success criteria and measure product and system performance.
What you’ll get:
• The opportunity to work on products that directly impact modern warfare.
• A fast-paced environment with minimal bureaucracy and no “process for the sake of process”.
• Direct influence on product decisions and visible impact of your work.
• Career and professional growth opportunities.
• Benefits of the defense sector (e.g., reservation, etc.).
• Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package (insurance, paid sick leave, 20 paid days off per year).
• Flexible remote work options where possible.
