About The Position

At Twenty, we're taking on one of the most critical challenges of our time: defending democracies in the digital age. We develop revolutionary technologies that operate at the intersection of the cyber and electromagnetic domains, where the speed of operations exceeds human sensing and complexity transcends conventional boundaries. Our team doesn't just solve problems – we deliver game-changing outcomes that directly impact national security. We're pragmatic optimists who understand that while our mission of protecting America and its allies is challenging, success is possible.
You will own and drive products that directly support offensive cyber missions, turning real operational needs into scalable, high-impact software. This is a product role for someone who is comfortable in ambiguity, can make hard decisions, and knows how to prioritize outcomes over process. You will work closely with engineers, operators, and leadership to shape mission-critical capabilities used by experts under pressure. The problems are complex, the environments non-standard, and the products you build will be used in real operations where reliability and clarity matter.

Requirements

• You have 4+ years of experience building products.
• You have experience as a Product Manager or in a closely related role, such as technical program manager, founder, or engineer with meaningful product ownership.
• You have worked closely with tech leads and engineering leadership to plan, prioritize, and sequence product roadmaps.
• You have strong technical fluency and can engage meaningfully with engineers on architecture, tradeoffs, feasibility, and delivery risk.
• You have shipped complex products in high-stakes, ambiguous, or low-signal environments.
• You have sound judgment and discretion when working with sensitive customers, systems, or problem spaces.
• You have clear written and verbal communication skills and can turn complexity into clarity for different audiences.

Nice To Haves

• You have experience with offensive cyber operations, cyber intelligence, red teaming, or adjacent domains.
• You have experience building products for national security customers
• You have built or managed AI-driven or agentic products.
• You have used AI tools to accelerate product discovery, design, or software development.
• You have a background in data platforms, analytics, knowledge graphs, or complex backend systems.
• You have worked in government, defense, intelligence, or similarly mission-driven environments.

Responsibilities

• Own product vision, strategy, and execution for one or more mission-critical capabilities.
• Work directly with engineers to shape requirements, define scope, and sequence delivery.
• Partner closely with operational stakeholders to understand workflows, constraints, and what success looks like in practice.
• Translate complex technical and operational needs into clear product requirements, priorities, and roadmaps.
• Balance near-term delivery needs with longer-term platform and capability development.
• Drive product decisions using a mix of user feedback, qualitative insight, and technical understanding.
• Support products deployed in constrained or non-standard environments, including bespoke or air-gapped infrastructure.
• Help the team focus on the highest-leverage problems and make sound tradeoffs under pressure.
• Create alignment across engineering, operators, and leadership on what to build, why it matters, and what comes next.
