Description
What are we looking for?
We are seeking a Product Manager to join our Software Supply Chain Security (SSCS) team at an exciting moment — as the threat landscape expands into new and emerging attack surfaces in the AI-era development environment. This role combines strategy and execution, working across both established and net-new product areas in close collaboration with other PMs, UX, and R&D. The ideal candidate brings strong expertise in SSCS, a genuine curiosity about how modern development toolchains are evolving, and the ability to operate effectively across the full spectrum from 0→1 product building to iterative refinement of mature capabilities. A background in software development is a strong advantage. If you're energized by ambiguity, customer proximity, and meaningful security impact, we'd love to hear from you.
How will you make an impact?
- Define and own product roadmaps across your assigned portfolio, aligned with company strategy, customer needs, and the evolving threat landscape.
- Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of features — from ideation and requirements through delivery, launch, and iteration.
- Drive structured early access and customer validation programs, working directly with design partners to shape product direction before GA.
- Collaborate with R&D, UX, security researchers, sales, and field teams to refine requirements and ensure both technical feasibility and business impact.
- Prioritize the product backlog using company strategy, customer feedback, user data, and competitive insights — including active monitoring of a fast-moving competitive landscape.
- Engage directly with customers, partners, and field teams to understand pain points, validate usability, and gather adoption feedback.
- Work closely with marketing, enablement, and documentation teams to ensure impactful releases and go-to-market success.
- Define and monitor key KPIs such as adoption, detection accuracy, coverage, false positive rates, and scanning performance.
Requirements
What is needed to succeed?
- 3+ years of proven product management experience in technical security or developer tooling domains.
- Demonstrated ability to build products in emerging or ambiguous spaces — comfortable owning a roadmap where the category itself is still being defined.
- Strong collaborative instincts — able to work as a peer partner across a PM team, supporting shared goals as readily as driving your own.
- Skilled at working with developers and UX teams to turn complex technical challenges into intuitive, high-value solutions.
- Demonstrated ability to define and communicate technical requirements clearly to R&D teams.
- Hands-on, proactive problem solver with strong ownership and a "can-do" attitude.
- Excellent communicator with strong presentation and interpersonal skills — comfortable presenting roadmaps and validating requirements directly with enterprise customers.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to prioritize, multitask, and make data-driven decisions.
Advantage:
- Familiarity with modern development toolchains, including AI-assisted development environments and agentic workflows.
- Experience with application security platforms (SAST, SCA, or similar).
- Prior experience as a software developer.
