<h2><strong>About the role</strong></h2><p>Muon Space is hiring a Staff Product Manager to own two of the highest-leverage software product surfaces in the company: our commercial Data Products business (GNSS-R, MSIR, and AICore-derived offerings) and the Muon Sim platform that underpins our ability to deliver mission-optimized constellations. Reporting to the VP of Product, you will own the productization decisions — pricing architecture, packaging, SLAs, customer tiering, data delivery — that will define the unit economics of our data business for years to come. This is a deliberate Staff-level (L6) IC role: the work requires the seniority to make load-bearing commercial decisions, the technical fluency to engage with platform and infrastructure leadership as a peer, and the judgment to operate across two adjacent surfaces with one owner until portfolio scale warrants a split.</p><h2><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h2><h3><strong>Data Products &amp;
