Director of Product Management, Platform & Infrastructure at Skydio · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

We deliver life-saving information as fast as possible to our customers. They need to securely engage with our cloud every minute of every day, and our North Star is that stronger security, broader compliance, and more flexible deployment models must never slow or fracture that experience. Our vision is to give customers the flexibility and security they require — multi-cloud, multi-region, and government-grade compliance — without any tradeoffs in speed, reliability, or ease of use.
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. You will also own Skydio’s on-prem product line—productizing air-gapped and self-hosted deployments into a scalable, secure, and high-impact solution.
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. You’ll work closely with SRE, cloud engineering, security & compliance, legal, GTM, and executive leadership to build the platform foundations that unlock growth — all while protecting the fast, simple, frictionless experience our customers depend on.
This position is based onsite 5 days/week at our HQ in San Mateo, CA with 25-30% travel to customers, as needed. We offer generous relocation assistance.
How you'll make an impact:
Customer & sales engagement: 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.
Productize and deliver Skydio On-Prem: 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.
Release & expectation management: 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.
Compliance enablement: Translate FedRAMP/CJIS/other regulatory requirements into product and operational requirements; run cross-functional compliance programs and vendor/auditor interactions to achieve certification readiness. You will coordinate auditors, security, legal and engineering - not act as the security architect.
Evangelize & enable: Explain platform capabilities across the org, create internal playbooks/artifacts, and help GTM teams present platform value to customers.
