Senior Technical Product Manager

About Mitti Labs:
Mitti Labs is a climate-tech startup dedicated to transforming the rice industry by supporting smallholder farmers in adopting sustainable practices. Our mission is to bring AI and satellite technology into traditional rice farming, reducing methane emissions while improving farmer livelihoods.

Backed by NASA-supported science and a strong ecosystem of partners, we work with global corporations to help them achieve their net-zero goals through verified, high-quality carbon credits. Our initiatives include launching a 40,000 farmers project in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and reducing air pollution from stubble burning in Punjab.

Our customers — including Fortune 500 companies, leading agri-businesses, and global NGOs — trust Mitti Labs to deliver measurable impact across climate, food systems, and sustainability.

We are a team of 30+ data scientists, agronomists, engineers, and operators, including leaders in NASA's SAR program, with decades of expertise in remote sensing and GHG modeling.

Role description:

• Own end-to-end product roadmap for farmer-facing products, agent management systems, and AI-powered automation platforms

• Build 0-1 products in uncharted territory - from AI chatbots for farmer onboarding (WhatsApp/voice) to computer vision pipelines for automated QA/QC of 20M+ agricultural data points

• Drive scale-up strategy Identifying and solving operational bottlenecks before they become scaling constraints

• Ship fast, iterate faster - Launch MVPs in 2-week sprints, gather field feedback in real-time, and pivot based on ground truth (not assumptions)

• Build farmer-to-farmer products that unlock viral growth loops (e.g., self-service onboarding, peer referrals, marketplace dynamics)

• Create scalable farmer engagement systems that reduce agent dependency while maintaining data quality

• 8-10+ years in product management at high-growth startups (Series A-C) or top-tier ops oriented tech companies (Ola, Uber, Swiggy, Flipkart, PhonePe, Razorpay), with demonstrable track record of owning P&L-impacting products or business units

• Demonstrated 10x+ scaling experience - Quantifiable evidence of taking products from early traction to market leadership (users, revenue, GMV, or operational scale); experience managing hypergrowth inflection points and systematic bottleneck resolution

• Executive communication mastery - Regular cadence presenting to C-suite; ability to synthesize complex technical/operational trade-offs into strategic recommendations; skilled at defending decisions under scrutiny and pivoting based on strategic feedback

• Engineering-grade technical fluency - Proficient in SQL for complex queries and data analysis; capable of reviewing API specifications, database schemas, and system architecture diagrams; can participate meaningfully in technical design reviews and debug production issues alongside engineers

• Platform thinking and API design - Experience building extensible platforms, defining API contracts, and designing for multi-sided ecosystems; understand how backend architecture enables or constrains product possibilities

• Be at the frontline of climate-tech
  Mitti Labs is tackling the methane emissions and water-intensive practices of rice farming — a major global climate lever that few organisations are focussed on. You'll work with satellite/AI/field-data to drive real change, not just build features.
• High-impact global platform + deep local action
  The company's work spans from smallholder farmers in India and Southeast Asia to global carbon markets and buyers. You'll have the opportunity to interface with both real-world farm operations and high-level climate finance
• Work with a mission-driven, elite team in a dynamic growth environment
  Mitti Labs is backed by top investors (Lightspeed, Voyager) and led by a team with deep expertise in agriculture, carbon science and tech. If you join, you'll be in a high-growth startup environment where your contributions matter, iteration is rapid, priorities evolve—and you'll see your work have tangible impact on climate and livelihoods.
