Hybrid Product Manager

at Mariana Minerals

• Job title: Product Manager
• Job type: Full Time
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: $125,000 - $190,000 per year
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Location requirements: Hybrid, San Francisco, United States

About the role

• Product Manager for MineOS at Mariana Minerals, overseeing integration of mining operations from planning through autonomous execution. Engaging with domain experts to enhance operational efficiency and software deployment.

Responsibilities

• Define what to build by looking at operational performance data and talking to geologists, mine planners, and equipment operators — including figuring out what metrics and instrumentation need to exist in the first place
• Spend 30%+ of your time at mine sites — as much as you want. Understand how decisions get made across the mining value chain, where information gaps exist, and where software can change outcomes
• Bridge very different stakeholders: geologists who think in block models and probability distributions, mine planners who think in sequences and constraints, and haul truck operators who know what's actually happening in the pit
• Ship software that works in the field — dusty, remote, connected to heavy machinery. This isn't a staging environment.
• Own the path toward increased autonomy — where can we remove humans from dangerous or repetitive tasks, and what needs to be true before we do?
• Connect historically siloed systems (block models, mine plans, fleet management, processing) into a single coordinated operation — and define what the interfaces between them should look like

Requirements

• 4-7 years in product management, with experience in industrial, mining, construction, or heavy industry software
• Intellectual curiosity about physical systems — you want to understand how blast patterns affect fragmentation and why haul cycle times matter, not just treat the domain as a black box
• Ability to communicate across a huge range of technical literacy — from geologists modeling orebody uncertainty to haul truck operators who've never used software on the job
• Experience working on complex systems with multiple integration points
• Demonstrated ability to ship products in technically challenging environments
• Experience with fleet management, logistics optimization, or autonomous systems (Nice to Have)
• Familiarity with mine planning software, block modeling, or industrial control systems (Nice to Have)
• Background in mining engineering, geology, or heavy industry (Nice to Have)

Benefits

• Offers Equity
