Senior Product Manager - Sensor Software Platform

About Bridger Photonics, Inc.Bridger Photonics is transforming methane emissions detection for the oil & gas industry. Our Gas Mapping LiDAR pinpoints leaks with precision, delivering actionable data that helps customers reduce emissions, improve safety, and streamline operations.Our mission: Enable clean, safe, and efficient energy systems through cutting-edge airborne sensing and data science. Join a growing team of engineers, scientists, and innovators committed to impact.About the roleAs a Senior Product Manager focused on our Sensor software platform, you will lead development of our end-to-end sensor platform. This platform includes the software that operates our Gas Mapping Lidar sensors, enables in-field data review and decision-making, and manages the flow of data from collection through cloud processing.This platform operates in real-world, often low-connectivity environments and is central to scaling our expansion into drone-based deployments. You will own a critical portion of the roadmap, driving an edge-to-cloud system that is reliable, scalable, and aligned with our long-term architecture.This is a hands-on, execution-focused role at the intersection of hardware, software, and data systems.What you'll doOwn product strategy and roadmap for core components of the sensor platformDrive development of IoT-enabled, edge-to-cloud systems, including edge processing, data pipelines, and cloud integrationTranslate field and operational requirements (e.g., limited connectivity, in-field validation) into scalable product solutionsPartner closely with engineering to make informed tradeoffs across hardware, firmware, and software systemsDefine and evolve data flows from edge systems through processing pipelines to enable in-field and downstream decision-makingLead prioritization across competing initiatives, balancing near-term deployment needs with long-term architectural goalsDeliver high-quality products on aggressive timelines with clear accountability for outcomesCollaborate cross-functionally with operations, deployment teams, and leadership to ensure successful execution in the fieldQualifications5–7 years of product management experience, ideally in high-growth or early-stage technology companiesProven experience building and scaling IoT or edge-connected systems (hardware + software integration)Strong technical fluency—comfortable working closely with engineers on system architecture, APIs, and data flowsExperience supporting software deployment at scale, particularly in distributed or low-connectivity environmentsDemonstrated ability to own and drive complex roadmaps end-to-endStrong execution skills with a track record of delivering under ambiguity and time pressureExcellent communication and cross-functional leadership skillsHigh degree of ownership and accountability for outcomesPreferred QualificationsExperience with drone systems, robotics, or industrial sensing platformsFamiliarity with event-driven or streaming data architecturesExperience designing systems with offline-first behavior and eventual consistencyExperience with time-series or high-volume sensor data pipelinesFamiliarity with device fleet management and over-the-air (OTA) updatesExposure to AI/ML applied at the edgeExperience with messaging and distributed systems technologies such as NATS, Kafka, or similarDirect experience building for or operating in the oil & gas industryAdditional InformationFull-time, salaried. Compensation is competitive. Comprehensive health, dental, vision, 401k with match, and meaningful PTO.Bozeman-based is preferred. Remote is open for the right candidate, with the expectation of regular travel to Bozeman (roughly quarterly).Bridger does not sponsor work visas. US work authorization required.Bridger Photonics is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
