What We Do

Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.

Role Overview

This is not your typical product role.

As a Product Strategist at Gecko, you won’t be handed a roadmap—you’ll be building it. You’ll operate at the frontier of customer need and product possibility: developing new solutions for high-stakes environments while shaping the direction of our core software platform, Cantilever (https://www.geckorobotics.com/cantilever) .

We’re looking for strategic builders—technical product minds with a bias toward action and a deep sense of ownership. You’ll be embedded in the field with our customers and engineers, making bets, validating hypotheses, and helping Gecko scale from bespoke deployments to a robust, extensible platform.

This is a rare opportunity to shape product strategy from the ground up, working at the heart of one of the world’s most ambitious efforts to modernize critical infrastructure.

What You Will Do

+ Own Problems, Not Just Features: Identify high-leverage customer problems and lead the charge to solve them—start to finish.

+ Set Strategy, Not Just Priorities: Craft and test product theses that inform Gecko’s long-term platform evolution.

+ Build What Scales: Deliver immediate value to customers while extracting insights that shape scalable, repeatable product solutions.

+ Operate Close to the Field: Work alongside Forward Deployed Engineers to understand use cases in depth—and move quickly to unlock value.

+ Bridge Product and Business: Translate technical solutions into outcomes that matter for customers and for Gecko’s mission.

+ Navigate Ambiguity: Thrive in environments without a playbook. You’ll help write it.

About You

+ 4-7 years of experience in technical product management, preferably in an enterprise software, B2B SaaS, or platform environment.

+ Backgrounds in product strategy, consulting, engineering, or founder/operator roles tend to thrive in this position.

+ Strong systems thinking—you can break down messy problems, spot the patterns, and architect elegant solutions.

+ You’re comfortable in the field—on-site with users, in the weeds with engineers, or in the boardroom with stakeholders.

+ Able to operate autonomously, make high-quality decisions with imperfect info, and adapt quickly as reality changes.

+ Comfortable with data—whether it’s Excel, SQL, or something custom.

+ Motivated by real-world impact and mission-driven work.

Bonus Points If You Have

+ Background in infrastructure, energy, defense, or robotics.

+ Experience launching 0→0 products or building within ambiguous, complex domains.

+ An engineering background or the ability to write code—enough to engage deeply with technical teams and shape product direction with confidence
