Lead the platform experience layer for Sysdig's CNAPP: define reusable UX/workflow patterns, study security practitioner workflows, set platform-level metrics, instrument product for adoption, and influence engineering across domains to ensure coherent, scalable platform capabilities.
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 the platform experience layer of Sysdig's CNAPP. Define reusable UX and workflow patterns (navigation, configuration, policy management, onboarding, reporting) that bring coherence to a broad and deep security platform.
- Study the workflows of multiple security practitioner personas (SOC analysts, cloud security engineers, compliance leads, DevOps teams), find the structural commonalities, and turn those into platform conventions that scale across product domains
- Define and lead platform-level metrics: coverage, data ingestion health, configuration correctness, time-to-value, and adoption.
- Instrument the product so teams can detect adoption friction before it becomes a blocker. Diagnose where customers struggle and close the gap between deployment and sustained value.
- Lead by influence across engineering teams spanning multiple application domains to ensure new capabilities are built with the platform, not around it
- Partner with design, product marketing, customer success, and solutions engineering to reduce complexity from first deployment through steady-state operations.
What you will bring with you
- 5+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent on platform, infrastructure, or cross-cutting product work (not solely feature-level PM roles).
- Experience in cloud security or adjacent domains (CNAPP, CSPM, CDR, vulnerability management, CIEM, or workload protection). You do not need to be a domain expert in all of these, but you need to stay up to date with industry trends and find the patterns across them.
- Experience working across multiple engineering teams simultaneously
- Fluency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container orchestration
- Experience defining product-level metrics and using instrumentation and data to make decisions.
What we look for
- A platform thinker. You default to "how do we make this work everywhere" before "how do we solve this one case."
- Strong design sensibility. You care about the quality and consistency of the experience, not just the feature set.
- You will touch every part of the product. You will need to context-switch constantly and prioritize ruthlessly.
- You will work with teams that do not report to you. You need to earn trust, make compelling cases, and hold the line on platform standards.
- Ownership mentality. You drive things to completion and do not wait to be told what to do next.
When you join Sysdig, you can expect:
- Extra days off to prioritize your well-being
- 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan with a 3% company match
- Maternity and Parental Leave
- Mental health support for you and your family through the Modern Health app
- Full health benefits package for you and your family
The U.S. annual compensation range for this full-time position is between 150,400 USD and 188,000 USD/year. Actual offers may be higher or lower than this range based on a variety of factors, including your work location, job-related experience and education.
We would love for you to join us! Please reach out even if your experience doesn't perfectly match the job description. We can always explore other options after starting the conversation. Your background and passion will set you apart, especially if your career path is different.
