About Deep Sky

Deep Sky is on a mission to accelerate the world's transition to carbon removal by developing and operating direct air capture (DAC) facilities. Our state‑of‑the‑art plant in Innisfail will play a crucial role in capturing CO₂ directly from the atmosphere, helping combat climate change on a global scale. Join us in this groundbreaking journey to achieve net‑zero.

Job Overview

We're looking for a Product Manager in our Capture Engineering team with a deep understanding of both hardware and software systems to lead the development of integrated software products. These tools span across facility operations, technology partner integrations, carbon certification workflows, prototype testbeds, and simulation environments. The role involves building software that operates and monitors real‑time hardware systems, collects and curates facility data, powers automation and control across operations, supports accurate, auditable carbon certification, and bridges R&D, simulations, and pilot‑scale learnings with production systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and drive the roadmap for software systems that support real‑time operations, automation, and carbon certification generated by our facilities
• Collaborate with process, hardware, and software engineering teams as well as operations teams to deeply understand system behaviors and requirements
• Translate high‑level company objectives into clear software product specifications and user stories
• Own the full lifecycle of software products from ideation and requirements gathering to launch and iteration
• Develop tools that ingest, process, and visualize data from sensors, control systems, simulations, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, and prototype systems
• Coordinate with certification and compliance teams to ensure software supports traceable and verifiable carbon accounting
• Integrate R&D and operational datasets into digital twin models to inform next‑gen facility design and technology optimization

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a related STEM discipline
• 5+ years of product management experience in climate tech, industrial tech, or deep tech domains such as aerospace, robotics, or autonomous systems
• Strong technical background in engineering or hands‑on experience working with hardware and software systems

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Ability to work in a fast‑paced, autonomously driven, demanding atmosphere
• Ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions without all available data
• Proven track record of building products that interface with physical systems (IoT, robotics, automation, or similar)
• Experience with industrial data acquisition systems, SCADA, or control software is a plus
• Familiarity with software development processes, data pipelines, and cloud‑based infrastructure

Additional Requirements

• Willingness to work extended hours and weekends as necessary
• Some travel required
