Description

About Mariana Minerals Mariana Minerals is a software-first, vertically integrated minerals company on a mission to supply the critical minerals powering modern energy, AI, and defense technologies. We’re reimagining how minerals are sourced, refined, and optimized by combining deep industrial expertise with software, automation, and data-driven decision-making. Join us as we build the future of responsible mineral sourcing and supply. Role Overview We're looking for a Product Manager to own MineOS—the platform that enables Mariana to operate mines more efficiently, safely, and autonomously than traditional operators. This role spans the full mining value chain: from the geologists who model the orebody, to the engineers who plan extraction sequences, to the operators who run haul trucks and mechanics who repair equipment. You'll work across these disciplines to understand how mining actually works—and where software can eliminate waste, improve safety, and increase throughput. You'll need strong communication skills to build trust with stakeholders who have very different backgrounds and priorities. You'll need to be comfortable with technical complexity while staying focused on what matters: shipping software that makes mining operations measurably better. What MineOS does: Connects long-range strategic planning to daily operational execution in a single loop Integrates data feeds from geologic block models, short and long-range mine plans, and drill/blast/haul/crush/stack operations Accelerates autonomous fleet deployment, minimizing human interaction with heavy machinery Coordinates decisions (and the information needed to make them) across the full mining value chain to maximize value generation Moves toward no-human-in-the-loop operations for routine mining tasks Mining is a complex choreography—drilling, blasting, hauling, crushing, stacking—where each step affects the next. MineOS is how we run a mine as a single integrated system, from the orebody model to the autonomous haul truck. What You'll Do Own the MineOS roadmap: Define what we build, in what order, based on operational needs and business impact Stakeholder management: Build relationships with geologists, mine planners, equipment operators, and maintenance teams—understand their workflows and pain points Cross-functional delivery: Partner with software engineers, ML engineers, and mining domain experts to ship solutions that work in the field User research: Spend time at mine sites understanding how decisions get made, where information gaps exist, and what operators actually need Autonomous systems: Help define the path toward increased autonomy—where can we remove humans from dangerous or repetitive tasks? Integration: Work on connecting historically siloed systems (block models, mine plans, fleet management, processing) into a coherent whole What We're Looking For Must Have 4-7 years in product management, with experience in enterprise, industrial software, or technical products Strong communication and stakeholder management skills—you can work effectively with geologists, engineers, and equipment operators and build adoption for net new workflows Experience working on complex systems with multiple integration points Demonstrated ability to ship products in technically challenging environments Comfort with ambiguity and willingness to learn a deep operational domain Willingness to travel to mine sites (sometimes remote) to understand operations firsthand Nice to Have Background in mining engineering, geology, or heavy industry Experience with fleet management, logistics optimization, or autonomous systems Familiarity with mine planning software, block modeling, or industrial control systems Experience in mining, construction, oil & gas, or other extractive industries Experience working in a fast-growing team Why This Role Mining is one of the most operationally complex industries on earth—and one of the least digitized. Most mines run on disconnected systems, tribal knowledge, and decisions made by feel rather than data. At Mariana, you'll build the software that changes this. You'll work on autonomous haul trucks, integrated mine planning, and optimization systems that treat the entire mine as a single coordinated operation. If you want to work on hard problems with real-world stakes, this is it. What It's Like to Work Here Extreme Ownership – We take full responsibility for outcomes and drive relentlessly toward solutions. Engineer Out, Then Automate – We simplify and optimize before we scale. Share Your Legos – We collaborate openly, share knowledge freely, and help each other build better solutions. Mariana is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected status.
