Our mission-built products- Ambient AI and Guardian- are transforming strategic, operational, and tactical decision-making. By empowering the shift from reactive analysis to proactive, predictive intelligence and decision support, Rhombus Power is providing foresight and freedom of action when it matters most.\nCome join our cross-disciplinary and world-class team that is delivering game-changing solutions to transform global security.\nLearn more about Rhombus Power, Inc. and watch a demonstration of Guardian, our AI Platform here:\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PxY6su1Q-Q\nhttps://www.youtube.com/@rhombuspower8558/videos\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iby5WVNfQiI\nSee the following articles to learn more about what we do:\nhttps://www.rhombuspower.com/news-and-media\nACTIVE SECRET OR TS CLEARANCES ONLY.\nRhombus is building technology for some of the hardest problems in national security. We work directly with government and defense customers to turn complex operational problems into deployed capabilities-and then make those capabilities better, faster, and more useful in the field. We're looking for an early-career, super motivated, Product Manager who understands how the US Air Force actually resources, acquires, and deploys capability.\nThis is not a traditional SaaS product management role.\nYou will not spend your days managing a backlog, writing Jira tickets, or optimizing a commercial software funnel within a large distributed team. Instead, you'll operate at the intersection of defense mission requirements, Air Force resourcing and PPBE, software, data, and relentless execution. You will sit directly with customers, understand what they are trying to accomplish, translate that into technical and operational solutions, and personally drive those solutions from concept to deployment, owning every part of the process. \nThis role is for someone who wants to learn fast, take ownership early, and build a career at the intersection of technology and national security. You need to be comfortable walking into a problem that is poorly defined, figuring out what matters, getting deep into the technical details, and making something happen day in day out. \nWhat you'll do\nWe need your help in taking Rhombus capabilities from zero to one-and from one to deployed, adopted, and operationally valuable.\nYour work will span product, technology, customer engagement, and defense program execution. In a typical week, you might be working with an Air Force stakeholder to understand a complex resourcing challenge, writing Python to analyze a dataset, translating a customer need into product requirements, troubleshooting a deployment with an engineer, preparing for a senior government meeting, and figuring out why something that worked in the lab is not working in the field. All the while, keeping internal colleagues updated on progress (including senior leaders and executive team members). Expect that most of your days per week will be spent in the Pentagon. \nSpecifically, you will:\nWork directly with defense customers to understand mission needs, operational constraints, resourcing challenges, and opportunities to improve how capabilities are delivered.\nTranslate ambiguous mission problems into executable solutions, working across product, engineering, data, SMEs, deployment, QA, and customer-facing teams.\nDrive execution relentlessly. When something is blocking a customer or mission, you own getting it unstuck-even when the solution falls outside a traditional product manager's job description.\nDevelop and maintain a deep understanding of Air Force resourcing, PPBE, programming, budgeting, requirements, acquisition, and capability delivery.\nTurn customer and operational requirements into clear product requirements, workflows, technical specifications, and implementation plans.\nUse Python and data directly to investigate problems, analyze operational information, automate tasks, and develop a working understanding of the systems you are helping build. Resolve deployment issues.\nWork closely with engineers and technical teams throughout the software development lifecycle, from requirements through deployment and troubleshooting.\nGo to the field and stay close to users, building trust that we can deliver on goal. Understand how Rhombus products are actually being used, identify friction, and rapidly turn feedback into improvements. You have a particular knack for documentation!\nPrepare for and participate in meetings with government and defense leaders, communicating clearly and credibly about both mission needs and technical solutions.\nIdentify opportunities to improve documentation, processes, product operations, and program execution-and then build the solution rather than simply recommending it.\nHelp Rhombus scale the way we deliver technology to defense customers while maintaining a high bar for technical rigor, customer trust, and mission impact.\nWhat we're looking for:\nWe are looking for high-potential, early-career operators, not finished products. You may have a few years of experience and still have a lot to learn. That's expected. What matters is that you learn quickly, take ownership, and have the judgment and technical foundation to contribute immediately.\nRequired\nActive Secret or Top Secret clearance REQUIRED\nU.S. citizenship.\nApproximately 2-5 years of relevant professional experience in defense, national security, the military, government technology, defense technology, software, or a similarly demanding technical environment.\nWorking knowledge of Air Force or DoD resourcing and PPBE, including an understanding of how requirements, programming, budgeting, acquisition, and funding decisions translate into actual capabilities.\nAbility to read and write Python. You do not need to be a software engineer, but you should be comfortable getting into code, manipulating data, writing scripts, and troubleshooting technical problems yourself.\nExperience working with technical teams and a working understanding of the software development lifecycle.\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate credibly with both engineers and government customers.\nDemonstrated ability to operate independently in ambiguous, fast-moving environments where the answer is not obvious and there is no established playbook.\nA bias toward action and a track record of personally driving things to completion.\nParticularly valuable experience\nYou will stand out if you have experience with:\nDepartment of the Air Force or broader DoD PPBE and resource allocation.\nAir Force programming, budgeting, requirements, acquisition, or capability development.\nWorking in or alongside AFMC, SAF/MR, HAF, MAJCOMs, PEOs, program offices, A5/A8/AQ organizations, or similar DoD organizations.\nDefense technology startups or small defense contractors.\nGovernment software deployment, implementation, integration, or operational support.\nOperational military experience, particularly in roles involving planning, requirements, resources, technology, or mission execution.\nPython, SQL, APIs, data analysis, cloud environments, or other hands-on technical work.\nTranslating government or operational requirements into technical products or capabilities.\nDirect experience presenting to or working with senior government stakeholders.\nEducation\nA bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant technical, analytical, national security, or mission-oriented discipline is preferred.\nRelevant backgrounds may include:\nComputer Science or Software Engineering\nElectrical, Systems, Aerospace, or other Engineering\nOperations Research\nData Science or Applied Mathematics\nEconomics\nPublic Policy or Public Administration\nNational Security / Security Studies\nDefense and Strategic Studies\nAcquisition, Logistics, or Supply Chain\nMilitary or Service Academy education\nWe care more about what you can do than the name on your diploma. Exceptional candidates with non-traditional educational backgrounds, military training, or highly relevant professional experience are encouraged to apply.\nThe person who will thrive here\nYou will probably do well at Rhombus if you:\nWant your work to have a direct impact on national security and military capability.\nAre energized rather than intimidated by problems that are messy, ambiguous, and consequential.\nWould rather build something than wait for someone else to tell you how.\nCan move comfortably between a government customer, an engineer, a spreadsheet, a Python script, and an executive briefing.\nAre intellectually curious and have the humility to say “ I don't know” -followed immediately by “I'll figure it out.”\nTake personal ownership when something is broken or stuck.\nCare about details without losing sight of the mission.\nWant significant responsibility early in your career and are excited to grow into a larger role over time.\nYou should probably not apply if you are looking for a narrowly scoped product role with clearly defined responsibilities, established processes, and a large team supporting every function.\nWhy Rhombus?\nAt Rhombus, you will have the opportunity to work on problems where the stakes are real and the feedback loop is short. You will work directly with the people responsible for missions, resources, and capabilities-not several layers removed from the customer.\nYou will be given meaningful responsibility early, surrounded by people who expect you to learn quickly, and challenged to develop expertise across defense, technology, product, and execution.\nWe are not looking for someone who has already done everything.\nWe're looking for someone with the potential to do a lot-and the drive to prove it.\nIf you want to build technology that matters, work directly with the defense community, and grow into a mission-driven technology leader, we'd like to meet you.\nSalary Range\nThe estimated base salary range for this position is $120,000/year to $170,000/year.\nBenefits\nFull medical, dental, vision coverage for employee and dependents \n401k matching program \nPTO and Holidays \nBonus and other incentive programs\nAccess to mental health program\nAccess to Flexible Spending Accounts for Health Care, Dependent and Commuter\nAbout Rhombus \nRhombus Power Inc.
