We are hiring a Product Leader to own and execute the Cloud Platform & Infrastructure roadmap, delivering the multi-cloud, multi-region and government-compliant platform capabilities Skydio needs to scale globally for federal, state & local, and commercial customers.
This senior individual-contributor role is about turning field and sales pain into a tightly scoped, customer-centric roadmap and driving the cross-functional programs that bring it to market.

Run discovery with government and commercial customers: Surface the 'why', build business case for investment, validate proposed solutions in the field, and help grow the business by providing platform capabilities with clearly communicated delivery expectations.
Own the platform roadmap for Cloud Platform & Infrastructure: work with sales, customer success, deployment engineers, and customers to convert recurring pain and opportunities into a prioritized, outcome-focused platform roadmap with clear user stories and success criteria.
Define the roadmap for air-gapped and self-hosted offerings; lead cross-functional delivery (engineering, SRE, security, legal, GTM); own releases, onboarding/runbooks and launch artifacts; run pilots/rollouts to cut time-to-deploy and manual effort while preserving a secure, frictionless experience; and support exponential growth in the national security business.
Coordinate release planning, cut-downs and 'what’s in/what’s out' decisions, and communicate release tradeoffs to internal teams and customers.
Ensure customer feedback and bug reports are tracked and routed into the right engineering backlog.
Translate FedRAMP/CJIS/other regulatory requirements into product and operational requirements; run cross-functional compliance programs and vendor/auditor interactions to achieve certification readiness.
Explain platform capabilities across the org, create internal playbooks/artifacts, and help GTM teams present platform value to customers.

8+ years product experience shipping cloud platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products - or adjacent technical products, with the ability to get to working knowledge of unfamiliar infrastructure quickly.
Demonstrated track record of turning customer pain into a prioritized roadmap and driving cross-functional programs to completion.
Experience shipping products under regulatory constraint such as FedRAMP, CJIS, DoD RMF, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, or financial regulatory work.
Track record of shipping platform features that materially improved reliability, scalability, security, and/or cost.
Strong program management and stakeholder influence skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; experience briefing executives and external auditors.
Open only to U.S. citizens or Green Card holders due to U.S. export control laws and government contract requirements.
