About Primordial Labs We're building the next generation interface for commanding autonomous systems in the real world. Our core product, Anura, translates spoken or typed intent into structured actions across drones, sensors, and mission software—enabling faster, more intuitive control in high-stakes environments. We’re a distributed team of engineers, operators, and technologists focused on deploying reliable autonomy at the tactical edge.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to help shape and deliver mission-critical software used in real operational environments. This role is responsible for translating customer and operator needs into clear product requirements, prioritizing work across competing demands, and working closely with engineering to deliver capabilities. You will operate at the intersection of product strategy, execution, and customer engagement, with direct influence on what gets built and why. As an early member of the team, you will be the primary driver of our execution engine, responsible for transforming strategic goals into real capabilities on a predictable schedule.
