About The Position

As a Senior Product Manager for Application Protection & Governance, you’ll join our core Application Security team to protect web, API applications against evolving abuse and threat patterns. You will own the product outcomes that help customers deploy, operate, and improve security controls over time, turning complex security requirements into practical capabilities and operational guidance. In this role, you will partner with engineering, security specialists and the go-to-market organization to define product direction and drive adoption across areas including web, LLM and API protection (for example, profiling and validation of traffic patterns, schema-aware enforcement, and reducing risks from interconnected third- and fourth-party integrations). You’ll also establish measurement and feedback loops to assess effectiveness, reduce customer operational friction, and continuously iterate based on real-world results. You’ll be the strategic anchor for these initiatives aligning customer needs, internal safety requirements, and technical feasibility to deliver reliable protection for applications at global scale.
