The information that matters within a big business sits in four places that do not talk to each other: market data, documents such as contracts and statements, operational systems, and the spreadsheets people work in every day. A data warehouse joins up the numbers and leaves the documents behind. A language model pointed at a folder of PDFs can read them, but it cannot calculate or show where an answer came from.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e spikeOS sits in between. It reads from all four sources, extracts the facts, and stores them as structured records, with every field linking back to the page or reading it came from. Nothing is written without an owner\u0027s approval.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe company is live in two industries. Energy, working with generators, asset owners and retailers. And lending, through a partnership with a loan management platform that reaches a large share of Australia\u0027s non-bank lenders.\u0026nbsp;\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe role\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is the first product hire at Spikewerks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e spikeOS becomes useful to an industry through a domain pack: the standard version of the product for that sector, covering the data it works with, the systems it connects to, the checks that matter in that industry and the outputs it produces. Lending has a pack. Energy is getting one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe Product Manager owns them. What goes in, in what order, and what gets declined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e That last part is the job. With engineers going into the field and new clients starting from the packs, someone has to decide what becomes standard and what stays with one customer. Without that, the product becomes the sum of every client\u0027s request.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The role reports to the CEO and works alongside the CTO, writing the requirements directly: extraction logic, rule libraries, evaluation sets. The CTO reviews them and owns how they get built.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat Spikewerks is looking for\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA product manager who writes technical specifications.
