Product Specialist

Istari Digital builds the connective tissue for defense acquisition. Our platform lets engineering models, simulations, and digital threads move securely across primes, suppliers, and government program offices, so a system can be tested, trusted, and fielded in months rather than years. We work at the center of some of the hardest problems in defense acquisition: getting the right model, to the right person, at the right classification, at the right time. We are a small, senior team, and every hire changes what the company can do next.

The role

Istari is a platform for sharing and working on engineering data in highly regulated, no-fail industries — where a mistake can cost a mission, an aircraft, or a life. Teams building spacecraft, hypersonic vehicles, and submarines use it to keep their models, simulations, and test results connected, so they can move fast and not break things.

We’re hiring a Product Specialist to be the connective tissue between our product and the people who use and sell it. This is an early-career role with an unusual amount of surface area: some days you’ll be interviewing customers about what’s working and what isn’t, other days you’ll be building a one-pager for the sales team, recording a demo of a feature that shipped last week, or turning a pile of feedback from customer-facing teams into something product can act on.

We’re not hiring for years of experience. We’re hiring for smarts and hustle — someone who learns fast, follows through on everything they pick up, and finds real energy in being useful across a lot of fronts at once. You’ll work directly with our Head of Product, and you’ll learn how product gets built at a company where the users are aerospace and defense engineers and the stakes are real.

Done well, this role is a launchpad. You’ll touch customer research, product marketing, sales enablement, and product management in your first year — and the more you take on, the more you’ll be given.
