About the role

  • The platform is Kubernetes-based, silicon-agnostic, and built for environments where security and data sovereignty are non-negotiable.
  • Kamiwaza needs a dedicated product leader who can translate customer problems into clear priorities, validated solutions, and coherent releases without becoming a feature-request router.
  • This is a hands-on individual contributor role focused on product strategy, discovery, prioritization, and cross-functional alignment.

Responsibilities

  • Define and maintain a strategy that connects customer problems to business outcomes - revenue, retention, expansion, risk reduction, and time-to-value.
  • Establish product principles and decision filters to maintain focus in a dynamic environment.
  • Drive roadmap clarity across engineering, sales, marketing, support, and leadership.
  • Actively identify and communicate what not to build - maintain a clear view of market antipatterns and short-lived trends.
  • Build strong working relationships with commercial users and the Fed Team to understand workflows, constraints, and high-value use cases.
  • Maintain a living, ranked problem backlog and defend priorities with evidence.
  • Work as a true partner to engineering leadership, co-owning outcomes rather than handing off requirements.
  • Create clarity on the problem, the customer, and the desired outcome - while engineering owns implementation details and technical design.
  • We're a small, driven team building a platform that makes GenAI deployment feel like magic.
  • We operate with high urgency but think for the long term-action creates clarity.

Requirements

  • 8+ years in product management or product leadership, including strong hands-on IC experience.
  • Strong track record of continuous discovery and shipping products that improved measurable customer and business outcomes.
  • Comfort operating in ambiguity, speed, and imperfect information.
  • Demonstrated ability to use AI tooling productively and responsibly in research, synthesis, communication, analysis, and prototyping.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Federal-adjacent requirements and regulated environments.
  • Experience supporting enterprise sales motions, POVs, pilots, enablement, and roadmap communication.
  • Familiarity with product analytics, experimentation, and SQL.
  • Background in on-prem, installed, or self-hosted B2B software.
  • Prior work on developer platforms, infrastructure software, or extensible platforms.
  • Experience running beta, early-access, or dogfooding programs.
  • Purpose & Impact: Be a key contributor to the GenAI revolution, shaping how enterprises adopt next-generation technology.
  • Expert Founders with Successful Exits: Our leadership team brings experience and a relentless enthusiasm for GenAI innovation.

Skills

  • Be accountable for product clarity, user usefulness, and experience quality - without acting as the sole designer of record.
  • Use lightweight prototypes, workflow sketches, and AI-assisted mockups to test ideas, accelerate discovery, and communicate intent.
  • Use on-prem release realities to improve prioritization, sequencing, and launch quality.

Compensation

  • Own a piece of our high-potential, well-funded startup.

Benefits

  • This role offers a base salary between $185,000 and $250,000, plus equity and benefits.
  • Our benefits include low-deductible medical plans, flexible time off, and supportive family leave policies.
  • Health coverage, remote workspace support, and more.

Company info

  • Our approach: curious, humble, but relentless.
  • We're fun, kind, and exceptional-serious about making an impact but never taking ourselves too seriously.
  • Based in Colorado, but work from anywhere with the tools and support you need.
  • Spend significant time with customers and prospects through interviews, workflow observation, and feedback loops.
