Full Job Description
Overview

Industrial software has been ugly and hard to use for decades. We're trying to change that-bringing consumer-grade clarity and craft to a world that hasn't seen much of either.Most software products live on screens. Ours move metal. Your product decisions here have physical consequences. Software that's confusing doesn't just frustrate users-it stops production lines, or worse. Software that's good doesn't just get clicks-it makes a robot do something useful in the real world that it couldn't do before.

We're looking for a PM who is a builder first. Someone who wants to own the impact of a product area end-to-end. Someone who gets genuinely curious about how things work-software, hardware, customers, industries. Someone with product sense and taste who can tell the difference between "ships" and "good."

What You Will Do
  • Own product discovery, strategy, and delivery for a core area of our platform (specifics depend on your strengths and interests)
  • Go deep on customer problems-talk to users, visit sites, read manuals, understand how robots actually get used.
  • Define what we're building and why, with clear specs that engineers can run with.
  • Work hands-on with UX, interaction flows, and functional behavior - thinking through how an individual feature fits together with the rest of the system.
  • Collaborate with engineers, designers to iterate prototypes, validate assumptions, and de-risk work early.


What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years in product, design, engineering, or a similarly hands-on role.
  • You've built and shipped things you're proud of-not just managed process.
  • You think critically about customer problems and can break down ambiguity into structured decisions.
  • You have design sense and care about craft-you notice when something is off and it bothers you
  • You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Bonus: Experience or interest in industrial automation or robotics.
  • Bonus: Located in or near New York or willing to work hybrid.


Compensation and Benefits:

The salary range for this role is $160,000 to $225,000, depending on experience. Base salary is just one part of the overall compensation at Standard Bots. All Full-Time Employees are eligible for Employee Stock Options. We also offer a package of benefits including paid time off, medical/dental/vision insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and 401(k) to regular full-time employees.
