About the role

Reporting to the VP of Product, you will own the productization decisions - pricing architecture, packaging, SLAs, customer tiering, data delivery - that will define the unit economics of our data business for years to come.
Muon Space is hiring a Staff Product Manager to own two of the highest-leverage software product surfaces in the company: our commercial Data Products business (GNSS-R, MSIR, and AICore-derived offerings) and the Muon Sim platform that underpins our ability to deliver mission-optimized constellations.
This is a deliberate Staff-level (L6) IC role: the work requires the seniority to make load-bearing commercial decisions, the technical fluency to engage with platform and infrastructure leadership as a peer, and the judgment to operate across two adjacent surfaces with one owner until portfolio scale warrants a split.

Own the commercial product strategy for Muon's Data Products portfolio, including GNSS-R, MSIR, fire data products, and AICore-derived commercial offerings (defense-aligned variants remain under our Federal PM lead).
partner with Mission Operations and Bits-to-Ground to ensure SLA commitments are operationally achievable.
Partner with the BD Data Manager and Growth org on data contracts, deal structure, and the boundary between standardized packaging and bespoke commercial terms.
Drive the shift from bespoke, project-based data contracts to standardized, tiered packaging - a primary ROI vector for the role.
Own product strategy and roadmap for the Muon Sim platform, recognized internally as a core differentiator for Muon's mission engineering value proposition.
Define the productization path for Muon Sim - including the high-side variant on the roadmap - and the commercial and licensing model that supports it.
Partner with simulation, mission engineering, and software teams to balance fidelity, performance, and time-to-market across releases.
Founded in 2021, Muon Space is an end-to-end Space Systems Provider that designs, builds, and operates LEO satellite constellations delivering mission-critical data.
Our revolutionary, integrated technology stack enables customers to optimize every dimension of their missions for faster time-to-orbit and superior constellation remote sensing performance.

8-10 years of Product Management experience, with demonstrated success owning data, SaaS, or API products in technically complex environments.
Experience defining and operating customer-facing data delivery, including APIs, portals, and tiered SLAs.
Demonstrated ability to translate customer mission needs into detailed product requirements and acceptance criteria across software and data systems.
Experience with configuration control and change management for production data products.
Familiarity with low latency data product.
Familiarity with GNSS-R, MSIR, RF, or other space-based sensing modalities and their commercial applications.
Experience productizing simulation, modeling, or digital-twin platforms.
Familiarity with LEO constellation operations and the economics of downlink and tasking.
Prior experience in startup or high-growth technology environments.

advanced degree preferred.
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field

The base salary range for this role is $211,000 - $254,000 and will depend on a candidate's skills, geographic location, qualifications, and experience as defined during the interview process.
At Muon salary is only part of our total compensation package.
In addition to salary, full-time employees receive equity compensation as well as benefits including medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401k retirement plan, short & long term disability and life insurance.

Data Products & Commercial Strategy
Define and publish the pricing architecture, packaging, and customer tiering for Muon's data products - including how capabilities are bundled, what is included at each tier, and how pricing scales with refresh cadence, latency, and AOI / coverage.
Define data SLA tiers and align them with downlink prioritization across the constellation; partner with Mission Operations and Bits-to-Ground to ensure SLA commitments are operationally achievable.
Conduct customer interviews, gather feedback on product-market fit, and translate insights into roadmap decisions and pricing experiments.
Analyze why deals are won or lost, identify product gaps and competitive advantages, and feed structured insights back into product development.
Translate complex mission modeling, simulation, and digital-twin requirements into a coherent product surface that serves both internal mission engineering teams and external customers.

In addition, if you need a reasonable accommodation as part of your application for employment or interviews with us, please let us know.
