Product Specialist (SOC & Security Automation)
Department: R&D
Location: Sunnyvale
Employment Type: FullTime
Your Impact
Join a small team building the next generation of cybersecurity products from the ground up. Led by industry veterans with a proven track record of success - you will get to architect, build, and deliver hugely impactful products with this world class team. You will have the opportunity to grow your career and skills along with the company from the very start.
Role Overview
You will own and drive the product strategy for SOC investigative tools and security automation and response capabilities within our next-generation cybersecurity platform. In this role, you'll be responsible for the complete product experience, from defining core investigative workflows and orchestrating detection-to-response pipelines, to crafting intuitive user experiences that balance powerful functionality with minimal friction. You'll work at the intersection of technology, performance, and usability, partnering closely with engineering, design, and customer-facing teams to deliver capabilities that power users trust and everyday users find effortless.
This isn't a role for a traditional, theoretical product manager, it's a role designed specifically for someone who has lived the analyst experience. You've spent years on the front lines, triaging alerts, building detections, running investigations, or leading incident response, and you have strong opinions about how these tools should work. You may not have held a Product Manager title, but you've influenced tooling decisions, advocated for workflow improvements, or built internal solutions that made your team more effective. You're ready to channel that practitioner expertise into shaping product strategy and building the platform you always wished you had.
Required Experience
5+ years of hands-on experience as a SOC analyst, detection engineer, threat hunter, or incident responder
Deep fluency in SOC workflows: alert triage, investigation, detection authoring, incident response, or threat intelligence operations
Demonstrated experience influencing or improving tooling, processes, or workflows beyond your individual role, whether through internal tool development, vendor evaluations, process redesign, or cross-team collaboration
Comfort engaging with technical and business stakeholders to translate practitioner needs into product direction
Familiarity with the vendor landscape and a point of view on what's working and what's broken in current-generation SOC tooling
We hope you bring:
Genuine curiosity for understanding complex problem domains and a drive to go deep on how security practitioners actually work
Ability to identify and decompose complex customer challenges into clear product opportunities
Strong communication skills, you can articulate strategy to leadership, write crisp requirements for engineering, and build trust with customers
Comfort operating in a fast-moving startup environment where scope is broad and ambiguity is high
We offer competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed to support our employees’ health, well-being, and long-term success. The expected salary range for this position is $150,000 – $250,000 per year. Within this range, individual pay is determined based on job-related factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and internal equity. Most candidates can expect an offer within the range listed above. Your recruiter will provide additional details on compensation and benefits to qualified candidates during the hiring process.
We’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability, genetic information, or other applicable legally protected characteristic.
