About the Role

Second Front Systems (2F) is seeking a highly skilled and mission-driven Product Manager to support our mission-driven team. We are a dynamic, fast-growing entrepreneurial company at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and national security, committed to delivering transformative solutions that empower our nation’s defenders. This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a company that is redefining the way software is delivered and secured in the defense sector.

At 2F, we thrive on innovation and purpose, combining a startup’s agility with a clear mission to support national security. We’re looking for a highly skilled and mission-driven Platform Product Manager who will own the Game Warden Platform. If you’re passionate about delivering secure, compliant, and scalable platform solutions that directly impact national security, and you thrive in environments where technical complexity meets critical mission objectives, this role is for you.

Note: This position requires U.S. citizenship due to government contract requirements.

What You’ll Do

  • Own the Game Warden platform end-to-end: Define and champion the product vision and strategy solely for the Game Warden platform, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of our software providers and government customers, both domestically and internationally.
  • Drive deployments and international expansion: Collaborate with Mission Success Team, and GPS to develop the product strategy for Game Warden's deployment capabilities across a multitude of complex environments, including U.S. government networks, classified systems, and expanding international defense and allied environments. Your focus will be on making these deployments secure, efficient, and repeatable across AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Azure.
  • Balance innovation with delivery: Strategically prioritize and manage the Platform roadmap, ensuring a thoughtful balance between developing new platform features and improvements and delivering on specific contractual obligations and customer-driven requirements.
  • Understand global government and defense environments: Gain a deep understanding of the unique challenges and requirements of deploying and maintaining software in diverse government environments, including classified networks, air-gapped systems, and various cloud deployments (e.g., AWS GovCloud, Azure Government, GCP Public Sector, international government clouds).
  • Collaborate across the ecosystem: Partner with other PMs, engineering, security, sales, and customer success teams to ensure Game Warden effectively serves both our software customers and their government end-users around the globe.
  • Gather and analyze market insights: Conduct market research and engage directly with customers and stakeholders to identify unmet needs, define clear product requirements, and prioritize initiatives that deliver maximum value for the Platform.
  • Measure and optimize: Monitor key performance indicators, analyze platform usage, and gather feedback to continuously improve the platform’s performance, security, and user experience.
  • Communicate with impact: Articulate complex technical and compliance concepts clearly to diverse audiences, from technical teams to senior leadership and external partners.

Skills You’ll Bring to Our Team

  • 5+ years of experience in Product Management, with at least 3 years managing platform products in a B2B SaaS environment.
  • Understanding of APIs, SDKs, infrastructure as code (IaC), and cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
  • Prior experience building or managing products for air-gapped, low-connectivity, or highly secure networks such as on-premises government systems or secure defense networks.
  • A self-starter with a proactive mindset who isn't afraid to take initiative and suggest improvements.
  • Ability to effectively communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders; translating complex technical information.
