About The Position

Chronosphere, a Palo Alto Networks company, is looking for a Senior Product Manager to join our team and lead us forward. You’ll operate with one foot in the factory and one foot in the field, bridging between our customers and our engineering team, building feedback loops, and testing hypotheses. You must be comfortable with a deeply technical product that serves a deeply technical audience, driving technical requirements. Along with building great products, you’ll drive the messaging and storytelling for how these products help solve problems for developers, while identifying and leading the team to improvements in usage and adoption. We run two lanes: a validation track to choose and specify what to build, and an agile build track to get it delivered. You’ll be responsible for both. By joining us, you are becoming part of Palo Alto Networks as we rapidly grow and evolve our strategy to expand within and beyond security, anchored by a strong focus on AI. You will be a vital part of the Chronosphere team during a period of accelerated growth, fully backed by the vast resources and support of Palo Alto Networks. At Chronosphere, we handle some of the world's largest Observability workloads. This massive scale makes our platform uniquely and perfectly suited for AI-native organizations dealing with immense data volumes. You’ll be at the epicenter of this next-generation scale, driving innovation where it matters most.
