About us

We are EnduroSat! A fast-growing space scale-up at the forefront of satellite innovation, specializing in advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, governmental, and scientific endeavors.

• This is more than a job, it’s a mission

  We are making space universally accessible and redefining what's possible.

• We get things done

  We take ownership of what we do and we work hard to make a difference.

• We are fearless

  Transparency is our only way forward. We dare to address and resolve issues head-on.

• We learn from our mistakes

  We deliver, take informed risks, and evolve to achieve our goals. We compare with the best version of ourselves

The problem you'll work on

The SpaceOps Platform operates hundreds of EnduroSat satellites, increasingly autonomously, increasingly without a human in the loop. The decisions encoded in the platform decide which missions succeed and which don't. As Product Lead, you decide which capabilities the platform builds next, and in what order, for a small set of high-stakes commercial, governmental, and scientific operators with real money and real missions riding on what we ship.

There's no off-the-shelf playbook for this. You'll own product strategy and roadmap for the platform: one day on a customer call, the next in an architecture review. You'll write specs engineering can build from without re-asking, and defend the cuts you make when the roadmap is twice the size of the team.

Some of your daily tasks will include

• Own the SpaceOps Platform roadmap with clear quarterly objectives
• Interview satellite operators (our customers and our internal mission ops teams) to uncover the actual jobs they're trying to do
• Write crisp product specs, acceptance criteria, and decision documents that engineers can build from without re-asking
• Prioritise ruthlessly against engineering capacity and platform constraints
• Pair with engineering daily on design trade-offs, scope, and sequencing, not over the wall, in the same room
• Track adoption and outcomes after launch; close the loop between what was shipped and what changed for users
• Communicate roadmap, progress, and trade-offs to leadership, customers, and the rest of the company

What we look for

• 5+ years of product management experience
• Track record of shipping mission-critical or high-reliability software (defense, aerospace, energy, medical, or financial infrastructure all count)
• Space, satellite, or aerospace domain background
• Technical fluency: you can read APIs, follow system architecture, and hold credible conversations with senior engineers on design trade-offs
• Strong written communication: your specs and decision docs are clear, scoped, and unambiguous
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical depth

This role is not for you if...

• You want a clean Jira backlog and a calm meeting cadence. You'll help build both, but they won't exist on day one
• You prefer to define product direction from a slide deck rather than from a customer call and an architecture diagram
• You don't enjoy saying no to senior stakeholders
• You want the satisfaction of a finished product. The platform will never be finished, and that's the point

What you're signing up for

• Real authority on a real platform. You decide the roadmap. You write the specs. You'll be the person engineering, customers, and leadership look to for the answer on what we build and why
• Hard, specific problems. Autonomous satellite operations, mission-critical workflows, customers who can't tolerate downtime. No off-the-shelf playbook exists
• Direct line to customers and missions. You'll talk to satellite operators every week and see your decisions affect real spacecraft
• Engineering depth alongside you. You'll work with engineers who've shipped real flight systems and treat product decisions as joint work, not handoffs
• Quarterly objectives, delivery culture. Clear quarterly goals, short feedback loops, and a team that ships
• Growth and learning. Career progression framework plus our hands-on space education program with international experts
