Product Manager, MineOS

Product Manager, MineOS About Mariana Minerals Mariana Minerals is not a software company selling to mining companies. We are a mining company that builds software. We design, build, commission, and operate our own mines and refineries. We develop our own chemical processes. We're producing battery-grade lithium salts from real oil and gas wastewater in our lab and pilot facilities today. Our first commercial-scale lithium production facility, Lithium One, is targeting production in the first half of 2027. The software — what we call MarianaOS — exists to make our projects come online faster and run better. We don't sell it. We deploy it into our own operations and measure its impact in tons of metal produced, dollars of cost removed, and months shaved off construction timelines. Role Overview We're looking for a Product Manager to own MineOS — Mariana's platform for mining operations from planning through autonomous execution. MineOS integrates geologic block models, short and long-range mine plans, fleet management systems, and industrial control systems into a single optimization layer. We're accelerating autonomous fleet deployment and working toward global optimal operations across the full mine-to-mill chain. The full scope and complexity of this problem is exceptional. Our goal is to build an accurate digital twin of the site that incorporates the uncertainty inherent in the operations and then use it to determine how to maximize the lifetime value of the mine. This role spans the full mining value chain: from the geologists who model the orebody, to the engineers who plan extraction sequences, to the operators who run haul trucks and the mechanics who repair equipment. Mining is the last major industrial sector that hasn't been rebuilt with modern software. The opportunity set isn't a feature gap on an existing product — it's entire workflows and systems that don't exist yet. That's rare. Especially at this scale. You'll work with people who understand the physics of what they're doing and can tell you exactly where the bottlenecks are. There's no translation layer between you and the domain experts. They're your direct collaborators. They'll push back on your designs with real constraints and tell you when your model is wrong and why. The Product: MineOS MineOS is Mariana's platform for mining operations—from planning through autonomous execution. It's the system that turns geologic models into mine plans, coordinates extraction activities, and moves toward fully autonomous operations. What MineOS does: - Connects long-range strategic planning to daily operational execution in a single loop - Integrates data feeds from geologic block models, short and long-range mine plans, and drill/blast/haul/crush/stack operations - Accelerates autonomous fleet deployment, minimizing human interaction with heavy machinery - Coordinates decisions (and the information needed to make them) across the full mining value chain to maximize value generation - Moves toward no-human-in-the-loop operations for routine mining tasks Mining is a complex choreography—drilling, blasting, hauling, crushing, stacking—where each step affects the next. MineOS is how we run a mine as a single integrated system, from the orebody model to the autonomous haul truck. What You'll Do - Define what to build by looking at operational performance data and talking to geologists, mine planners, and equipment operators — including figuring out what metrics and instrumentation need to exist in the first place - Spend 30%+ of your time at mine sites — as much as you want. Understand how decisions get made across the mining value chain, where information gaps exist, and where software can change outcomes - Bridge very different stakeholders: geologists who think in block models and probability distributions, mine planners who think in sequences and constraints, and haul truck operators who know what's actually happening in the pit - Ship softwa ...
