About the Company
Armada is the hyperscaler for the edge, delivering modular AI infrastructure from first deployment to AI factory with speed, scale and sovereignty. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and to the CNBC Disruptor 50, Armada ’s solutions are deployed in over 60 countries globally for organizations ranging from energy to defense.
With nearly $500 million in funding to date, Armada is backed by leading investors including Founders Fund, Lux, BlackRock and Microsoft (M12), alongside strategic partnerships with Microsoft, Dell, Palantir, NVIDIA, SpaceX, and Skydio. We are building the infrastructure layer for sovereign and edge AI - rugged, deployable compute for customers that cannot rely on centralized cloud.
Working at Armada means taking ownership, driving autonomy, and delivering impact. You’ll tackle challenges that haven’t been solved before and help build something transformative from the ground up. What you do here will not only define your career but help further Armada ’s mission to bridge the digital divide for customers around the world.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to contribute to product strategy for Armada 's federal and defense-facing solutions. You will engage directly with defense and government customers to understand mission and warfighter edge compute requirements, translate them into clear product requirements, and work cross-functionally to close capability gaps across Armada 's hardware, platform, monitoring, and ISV application layers.
This is a hands-on role for a self-starting product manager operating at the intersection of Armada 's product organization and the defense and intelligence community. You will determine your own methods and approach on new assignments, exercise judgment across ambiguous and sensitive requirements, and frequently advise engineering, field, capture, and go-to-market partners on product matters within the federal domain. You'll also help build and champion standardization across the team — establishing consistent processes, frameworks, and best practices that scale with our growth.
In this role, you will define and deliver platform capabilities that meet the unique requirements of defense, intelligence, and federal mission environments, such as disconnected operations, classified workloads, zero-trust security, and compliance with government standards, while maintaining alignment with Armada 's commercial platform roadmap.
