Lead product execution for runtime threat detection, manage product roadmaps, partner with engineering teams, and engage with customers to develop effective cloud security solutions.
At Sysdig, we believe cloud security isn't a compromise - it's a promise. From the start, our mission has been clear: to help organizations secure innovation in the cloud, the right way.
We created Falco, the open standard for cloud threat detection, and continue to lead the cloud security market with runtime insights, open innovation, and agentic Al. Creators of technology trusted by over 60% of the Fortune 500, Sysdig gives teams the real-time clarity to move fast and defend what matters most.
Culture matters here. We believe diversity fuels stronger ideas, and open dialogue drives sharper decisions. Recognized as a Best Place to Work and one of Deloitte's fastest-growing companies for the past 5 years, we're here to raise the standard for what cloud security and workplace culture should be.
If you have the passion to dig deeper, the desire to challenge convention, and the curiosity to build something better, Sysdig is the right place for you.
What you will do
- Lead product execution for runtime threat detection across containers, hosts, and cloud environments - from detections to end-to-end threat workflows reporting to Director, Product Management.
- Manage roadmap for advanced detection outcomes including: FIM, malware discovery, behavioral threat analytics, workload runtime signals, identity-based detections, and active response capabilities.
- Partner with engineering and research (threat intel, detection engineering, ML/AI) to ship high-signal detections that materially reduce Mean Time to Detect / Investigate for customers.
- Define UX and workflows for SOC, IR, cloud security engineering - minimizing noise, driving actionability, and accelerating containment.
- Engage directly with security customers (from hands-on operators to exec stakeholders) to understand modern runtime threat pain and convert it into unique products.
- Stay ahead of the threat landscape and ecosystem to ensure our runtime engine + detection portfolio is always leading the market.
What you will bring with you
- Direct experience building runtime detection, threat response, malware defense, or threat workflow products.(e.g. CDR, runtime CNAPP components, advanced detection engines, FIM platforms, EDR/XDR runtime engines.)
- Strong technical depth. Able to credibly partner with cloud security engineers, threat researchers, and backend engineers.
- Demonstrated success owning / driving product workstreams end-to-end - roadmap, prioritization, backlog, delivery.
- Strong understanding of modern cloud stacks: Kubernetes, containers, cloud native deployment patterns, plus at least one major cloud (AWS / Azure / GCP).
What we look for
- 4–5+ years of product management experience building security products (ideally threat detection & response, CDR/EDR/XDR, CNAPP, runtime security, or similar)
- You bias toward measurable outcomes: reducing noise, increasing true positive threat signal, and improving operational speed for defenders.
- You care deeply about shipping what matters, not just shipping something.
- You stay current on threat techniques, attacker behavior, and emerging runtime research.
- Excellent communication across engineering, research, design, GTM, and customers - ability to simplify highly technical conversations and influence direction through clarity.
