Job summary
We’re looking for a highly technical, execution-driven Product Manager to help advance our Trust Lifecycle Manager platform across cloud, Kubernetes, and emerging identity-security ecosystems. This role is ideal for a product professional who enjoys rolling up their sleeves—diving into cloud services, validating technical workflows hands-on, partnering closely with engineers, and driving early-stage concepts into impactful customer-facing capabilities.
You’ll operate at the intersection of PKI, cloud-native architectures, digital identity, and certificate automation—translating complex technical needs into scalable, intuitive solutions that accelerate customer trust workloads.
What you will do
Cloud, Kubernetes & Platform Enablement
- Implement and iterate on integrations with AWS, Azure, and GCP services—including KMS, Key Vault, CloudHSM, ACM, and CAS.
- Partner with engineering to build, test, and validate Kubernetes certificate automation flows (cert-manager, SPIFFE/SPIRE, service meshes, mTLS workflows).
- Drive hands-on prototyping within cloud-native environments, microservices, and containerized deployment architectures.
- Support design and documentation for CLM integrations across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Technical Execution & Roadmap Delivery
- Translate customer requirements into technical specifications, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
- Manage and prioritize backlogs for engineering squads in an Agile development structure.
- Build quick proofs-of-concept to evaluate feasibility, integration complexity, and customer value.
- Assist with release planning, validation, and rollout of new features.
Customer Discovery & Validation
- Conduct structured interviews with practitioners (DevOps, CloudOps, Security, Platform Engineering).
- Present concepts, prototypes, and early builds for targeted feedback loops.
- Synthesize insights into actionable product improvements and roadmap proposals.
- Support technical enablement for customers evaluating or adopting new integrations.
Cross-functional Technical Collaboration
- Work with Architecture and Engineering to align on design patterns, scalability needs, and cloud-native security controls.
- Engage with Solutions Architects and Sales Engineers to analyze customer environments and identify use cases.
- Collaborate with Marketing to support technical messaging, diagrams, and solution narratives.
What you will have
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in product management, technical program management, DevOps, cloud engineering, or a related role.
- Practical experience with at least one major public cloud ecosystem (AWS, Azure, or GCP), especially in security or identity workloads.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes fundamentals, certificate issuance flows, mTLS, and cloud-native security practices.
- Familiarity with CI/CD tools, container orchestration, and automation frameworks.
- Exposure to PKI, certificate lifecycle management, cryptographic protocols, or related security domains.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and communicate technical concepts clearly to stakeholders.
- Experience building prototypes or working closely with engineering on proof-of-concepts.
- Strong analytical skills, with comfort using data to guide prioritization and validate decisions.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
- Understanding of cryptography and security protocols.
- Familiarity with API design and integration patterns.
- Experience with prototyping tools and methodologies.
- Knowledge of agile development practices.
- Comfort with data analysis and experimentation frameworks.
Nice to have
- Experience with Terraform, Helm, or other IaC tooling.
- Understanding of Zero Trust, workload identity, service mesh technology, and secure connectivity patterns.
- Background in software development, SRE/DevOps, or cloud solution architecture.
- Exposure to certificate automation ecosystems (cert-manager, SPIRE/SPIFFE, Vault PKI).
- Experience supporting marketplace readiness or product listings on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Familiarity with design thinking and rapid experimentation methodologies.
Benefits
- Generous time off policies
- Top shelf benefits
- Education, wellness and lifestyle support
