At Contrast Security, we’re redefining how organizations protect their software at the speed of modern development. With industry-leading Application Detection and Response (ADR), we give teams the power to detect, stop and fix real threats in real time. If you're passionate about building smarter, faster, more effective security, you’ll fit right in.
We’re looking for sharp minds, fearless builders, and problem-solvers who thrive on turning complex challenges into innovative solutions.
About the Position
Our mission is to revolutionize application security. At Contrast Security, we offer a new approach to code security and application protection, from developers analyzing the first line of code through instrumenting a sophisticated enterprise DevSecOps lifecycle, and deploying apps at-scale.
The foundation of this is collecting data through sensors (agents) from applications across development, testing and production environments. As a Senior Product Manager, you will drive this area of our technology stack. This is a highly visible and cross-functional role that requires a good understanding of application development environments, coding languages (Java, Python, Node, Go, .NET, etc), and frameworks. You will work closely with our enterprise customers, field teams, and all other product teams. You will demonstrate a deep understanding of market trends and technologies, and apply this to create a strong roadmap for our collectors that can support streamlined deployment, broad coverage, as well as rapid feature development.
We are looking for a highly technical candidate, a solid mix of business and organizational skills, and the ability to operate in a matrixed cross-functional environment. This is a good opportunity for candidates with a background in software engineering, DevOps, AppSec, SRE and related areas.
