Technical Product Manager, Navigator

Technical Product Manager

At Gallatin, we are rebuilding logistics infrastructure for the national security missions of the United States and allied partners. We build AI systems that determine how logistics decisions are made — not just how they're executed. From factory to foxhole, we operate at the layer where data becomes decisions, and decisions make the advantage.

About the Role

Join us at the forefront of defense innovation as a Technical Product Manager, where your engineering expertise will directly impact how our military and defense organizations manage sustainment. As the vital link between our engineering and product teams, you'll ensure we build the right solutions the right way — translating ambitious product visions into elegant technical realities.

What You'll Do

Shape Technical Product Strategy

• Guide product decisions with deep architectural insights, ensuring every feature we build strengthens our technical foundation.
• Partner with designers early in the creative process, transforming "what if" conversations into viable "here's how" roadmaps.
• Champion technical excellence while keeping our teams moving fast.

Bridge Domains

• Translate between the languages of design, engineering, and business, ensuring everyone's aligned before a single line of code is written.
• Facilitate dynamic pre-development sessions where creative vision meets technical reality.
• Be the technical voice in product discussions and the product voice in technical debates.

Ship Products That Matter

• Own technical aspects of the product lifecycle from concept through deployment, ensuring smooth handoffs and clear success criteria.
• Jump into sprint planning and stand-ups, helping teams navigate technical blockers and make real-time trade-off decisions.

What We're Looking For

• US Citizenship with ability to obtain a security clearance.
• 3–5 years of software development experience with a focus on systems thinking and architecture.
• Proven ability to dive deep into technical specifications and explain complex concepts to non-technical partners.
• Experience with APIs, distributed systems, and modern development practices.
• Track record of working closely with product teams, balancing technical excellence with shipping value.
• Natural ability to see both the forest and the trees — from system-wide implications to implementation details.
• Comfortable with agile methodologies and modern collaboration tools.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills; you believe constraints breed creativity.

Bonus Points

• Experience with data platforms — Palantir Foundry knowledge is a huge plus.
• Exposure to defense, logistics, or enterprise B2B software or similar mission-critical systems.
• Excitement about making complex systems feel simple to users.

Mission and Identity

We are building the system that enables faster, smarter logistics decisions in contested environments, and we're doing it with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs, operators, and technologists who have built and scaled solutions in this space before. We hold ourselves to an extremely high standard. We value clear thinking, direct communication, and the kind of ownership that doesn't stop until something actually works.

Our mission is to create decision advantage when the stakes are the highest. If we succeed, the system doesn't just run; it gets smarter. We're not building AI for its own sake. We're building it because faster, smarter decisions in the most demanding environments on earth can't wait. If you want to work somewhere the stakes are real and the mission is urgent — you'll fit in here.
