In this role, you’ll define and drive the strategy for an infrastructure-centric, developer-facing product used across ecosystems such as Python, Java, and JavaScript. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Design, Security, and Go-to-Market partners to build a product that balances developer experience, security guarantees, and enterprise requirements, all while scaling with our growing customer base.

Responsibilities
- Set, own, and accelerate the Libraries product strategy and roadmap: Translate user needs across Security, Platform, and Developer personas into a clear product vision and prioritized roadmap aligned with business goals.
- Drive product definition from concept through delivery, ensuring Libraries remain scalable, reliable, and differentiated.
- Improve developer experience by leading initiatives to simplify and improve critical user journeys, reducing friction and making secure library consumption intuitive and efficient.
- Partner deeply with cross-functional teams, including Engineering, UX Design & Research, and GTM teams to deliver cohesive solutions that balance usability, compliance, and technical rigor.
- Be the voice of the customer and market by engaging directly with customers, analyze usage data and telemetry, and track industry trends to inform decisions and anticipate evolving needs.
