Realm builds AI for the mining industry. We integrate with existing mine infrastructure — cameras, SCADA systems, drones, and data repositories — to predict equipment failures, detect unsafe behaviors, and optimize operations. Our platform deploys intelligence in various ways to improve productivity and safety — monitoring PPE compliance via computer vision, optimizing froth flotation processes, analyzing longwall shearer performance, tracking MSHA citation patterns, and more.
Our founders started their careers at Palantir before going on to build Blend Labs (publicly traded fintech, founded as CTO) and Even (acquired by Walmart). Our leadership team brings experience from Uber, Metropolis, and other high-bar organizations. We're a small, senior team that ships daily to production mines.
AI isn't just our product — it's how we build. We're an AI-first engineering team that uses the latest models and tooling throughout our development process, moving faster and at higher quality than traditional teams our size.
Our culture values high agency, deep ownership, collaboration, and autonomy across a fully remote workforce. Teams here move quickly and make meaningful contributions to a product that shapes global industrial outcomes.
The RoleAs our first product manager, you will own the entire product lifecycle—from idea to launch—and play a critical role in shaping what we build and why. You will dig deep to understand the challenges our customers and their teams face, define and prioritize what matters most, and deliver solutions that move us closer to our ambitious goals. You will build a tight feedback loop with engineering and sales in the early days. If you thrive on ownership and love being in the weeds while still seeing the big picture, this role could be a great fit.
What You’ll DoSpend ~25% of your time onsite with current customers in the US (occasionally international)
Develop a deep understanding of customer operations. Shadow every role and team to understand their day to day, how departments communicate and work together, reporting, etc.
Vibe-code prototypes onsite. As ideas come up in the field, you will develop prototypes, show them to users in the field, and iterate on them while feeding insights back to the engineering team.
Deeply understand customer pain points and turn them into great features alongside a team of world-class engineers
Shape standards with government partners while building for industrial operators
Break down and move from ambiguous problems to viable solutions across a variety of projects and work streams

What We Do
Realm is an AI-driven platform that delivers significant cost savings for industrial operations. By preventing 80% of failures before they happen, Realm maximizes uptime, potentially saving millions in lost revenue. Built on the latest advances in AI, Realm integrates with your existing cameras, sensors, and control systems to automatically detect and predict equipment failures, flag unsafe and suspicious behavior, automate response actions like shut-offs, and immediately notify and dispatch key personnel. Realm also augments your existing monitoring infrastructure with edge AI devices and drones for comprehensive, customizable event detection in low-connectivity and unmonitored areas (large-scale infrastructure, vehicles, etc.). Realm has a proven track record with clients in gold, gemstones, coal, and oil & gas operations across Africa, Latin America, and the United States.
