Lead the platform experience layer of Sysdig's security product by defining metrics, diagnosing adoption friction, and collaborating with various teams to deliver cohesive solutions.
In the cloud, every second counts. On the leading edge of security, Sysdig stops attacks in real-time by instantly detecting changes in cloud security risk with runtime insights and open source Falco. Trusted by a large enterprise customer base, we are a well-funded startup, passionate open source enthusiasts at heart, and problem-solvers who are building and delivering powerful solutions to secure cloud-native applications.
We have an organizational focus on delivering value to customers. We appreciate diverse opinions and open dialogue to spur ideas and we believe in working together to achieve our goals. We're an international company that understands how to cultivate an inclusive environment across all teams.
And we're a great place to work too - we've been named a "Best Places to Work" by Inc, the San Francisco Business Time, and Built In, with recognitions ranging from "Best Benefits" to a "Best Company for Happiness".
We are looking for driven team members who want to join us on our mission to lead cloud security globally. Does this sound like 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
- Mental health support for you and your family through the Modern Health app
- Great compensation package
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.
