Job Description

The Senior Technical Product Manager, Internal Software will lead the development of internal software tools across Fervo.

Key Responsibilities

Product Ownership: Own internal software product development from idea to adoption. Work closely with teams across Fervo to understand their workflows, pain points, operating rhythms, and decision-making needs, and translate ambiguous business problems into clear product requirements, technical specs, user stories, and success criteria. Design for a connected software ecosystem rather than one-off applications, ensuring tools integrate with existing systems, data sources, and future internal platforms. Measure success through adoption, workflow improvement, and business impact, not just shipped features.
Engineering Partnership: Partner closely with software engineers, contractors, and technical partners to scope, sequence, and deliver internal tools. Bring enough software fluency to evaluate technical tradeoffs, ask tough questions, and make pragmatic implementation decisions. Write clear technical product requirements, and own delivery cadence, backlog management, sprint planning, stakeholder updates, and risk escalation. Contribute technically when helpful, especially in early prototyping, agentic coding workflows, technical review, or lightweight implementation support.
Tools for Fast-Moving Teams: Develop software that improves how Fervo manages complex work across engineering, construction, project execution, documentation, scheduling, modeling, procurement, and operations. Identify where teams rely on manual processes, disconnected data, or inefficient tools, and build products that are simple, usable, and practical. Sit with users before and after launch, and create feedback loops that drive continuous product improvement.
Build-vs-Buy Decisions: Audit Fervo’s current internal software stack and identify where existing tools are sufficient, where they need better integration, and where purpose-built software would create meaningful leverage. Recommend build, buy, integrate, or retire decisions based on business value, implementation cost, maintainability, and long-term scalability. Serve as Fervo’s internal expert on the resource requirements and tradeoffs of developing software in-house, avoiding both overbuilding and tolerating broken workflows.
AI-Enabled Workflows: Partner with Fervo’s AI and machine learning team to integrate internal data, models, and automation into the tools you build. Identify practical, high-value opportunities for LLMs and agentic workflows to reduce repetitive manual work, including document parsing, report generation, data entry, workflow automation, and decision support. Use modern coding and AI-assisted development tools to accelerate prototyping and delivery.
Building the Software Function: Establish an early operating model for internal software development at Fervo, including product and delivery practices that future engineers, product managers, and software leaders can build upon. Help determine which capabilities should be built internally versus contracted externally over time and, as the function proves value, help build and potentially lead a small internal software development team serving the broader company.

Requirements

Experience building internal tools, scheduling software, enterprise applications (such as ERP), operational systems, or platform products
Experience in a startup, scale-up, or small high-ownership technical team
Experience working with or managing software engineers, contractors, or technical vendors
Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar platforms
Experience integrating software with third-party systems, APIs, databases, internal data platforms, or business applications
Experience supporting teams that manage complex operational workflows, such as construction, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, or capital projects
Interest in eventually helping build and lead an internal software development team
