About The Position

As the Founding PM for the Control Plane, you'll own one governance plane for the full agent lifecycle: every MCP, skill, plugin, and agent, governed and observable across every surface an agent can touch. Today agents sprawl across every platform with little oversight; you'll build the one layer that sits between their agentic harnesses and the hundreds of SaaS apps their agents reach. You'll work directly with the CPO, owning the roadmap from discovery through shipped product.

Requirements

8+ years in product management, including 3+ on security, infrastructure, or identity/IAM products.
Founder or early-PM experience; you've built product processes from zero.
Fluency with the buyer/user split: the CISO/IT team who buys governance and the developer or agent who lives under it.
Technical depth: you read code and reason about proxies, policy engines, OAuth/identity, and audit pipelines.
Customer obsession: you run your own discovery calls and can name five customers from your last role by first name.
Strong writing; you make your case in clear PRDs, not slide decks.
AI-native, with real opinions on how agents and tools should be governed.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on building of MCP and how agents call tools in production.
Background in detection and response, DLP/PII/PHI, secrets/vault, or compliance-driven enterprise sales (SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST).
Shipped observability or policy products where winning meant covering more, in more detail, than anyone else.

Responsibilities

Own the control-plane surface: discovery, visibility, deep session, real-time controls, and agent IAM.
Run discovery with security and IT buyers and the developers and agents who hit the proxy, turning signals into a ranked roadmap.
Make decisions, prioritize the roadmap, and ship with engineers weekly.
