About The Position

Senior Product Manager, Cyber SRE The Mission We are shifting SRE from a reactive support organization to a forward-looking discipline. Our vision is Autonomous Reliability: a future state where reliability is engineered into every product through AI-driven self-healing, automated onboarding, and secure-by-default architectures. As a horizontal leader within Cyber Engineering, you will be the face of this transformation, embedding yourself within service areas to drive high-impact, product-focused reliability.

Requirements

• Strong technical stakeholder relationships: You excel at working with engineering leaders. You know how to build a strong engagement model that integrates SREs into service areas, ensuring reliability is built-in, not bolted-on.
• An Automation Evangelist: You are obsessed with reducing toil. You see a manual process and immediately think about how to build an autonomous agent to handle it.
• A Strategic Thinker: You can translate a high-level executive strategy into actionable Key Results (KRs) and navigate the complexities of Build vs. Buy decisions.
• A Cybersecurity Advocate: You understand that in our world, reliability and security are inseparable. You speak the language of vulnerabilities (SAST/SCA), compliance, and threat mitigation.
• Product Management Excellence: 5+ years of experience in technical product management, with a proven track record of managing platforms or horizontal infrastructure as a product.
• Cybersecurity Depth (5+ years): Deep understanding of cybersecurity principles, including secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and security observability (SLOs/SLIs for security products).
• SRE Mastery: Professional experience in the SRE discipline, with knowledge of OpenTelemetry (OTEL), incident response automation, and error budget management.
• Collaborative Leadership: Demonstrated experience partnering with senior engineering leaders to drive cross-functional initiatives and cultural shifts.
• High School Diploma, GED or equivalent certification
• At least 6 years experience in cybersecurity or information technology
• At least 3 years of experience translating cybersecurity strategy and analysis into product requirements
