Senior Product Manager – Network Infrastructure
About The Position
Join the Cyber-DNS team at CIRA and play a key role in advancing Canada’s cybersecurity and DNS infrastructure! Our Cyber-DNS team is dedicated to protecting Canadians online by delivering cutting-edge solutions. You'll help shape the next generation of CIRA's DNS platform, owning a portfolio that spans authoritative DNS for the .ca TLD, recursive resolution for Fortune 500s, schools, and municipalities, and the security and application products built on top of that infrastructure. That includes how organizations and consumers resolve names reliably, how DNS can be used to protect them, and how those capabilities connect into a broader security platform. You'll work at the intersection of backend systems and end-user experience. Some of what you build will be deeply technical. Some of it will be about making complexity disappear for the people who depend on it. You'll work alongside engineers, vendors, and channel partners to translate what DNS infrastructure can do into products that are both powerful and accessible: from backend infrastructure that makes the internet work, to consumer-facing applications that protect Canadians from malicious websites. CIRA operates one of the largest DNS networks in the world: TLD DNS for registry operators, authoritative anycast services for Registrars, ISPs and private industry and recursive resolvers that protect users against malicious and fake websites. DNS is the substrate the internet runs on, and at CIRA the platform isn't just resolution infrastructure; it's the data layer that powers internet performance at scale and a growing security product portfolio. Part of your mandate is turning what that infrastructure sees into intelligence that drives better products, sharper security capabilities, and stronger partnerships. This includes extracting signal from query telemetry, threat data, performance metrics, and debug logs and making it useful. You'll also own how this platform integrates into a broader ecosystem. That means understanding how DNS fits alongside XDR, firewalls, SIEMs, and threat intelligence platforms, keeping a sharp eye on what other organizations in the space are doing, and translating that into clear product positioning and integration decisions. If you're excited about building a safe and secure internet for Canadians, this is the place for you.
