Company mission
Acquia's mission is to empower the world’s most ambitious brands to embrace innovation and create customer moments that matter.
Role
Who you are
- The Integration Partner: You have a passion for making complex systems feel simple. You understand how to take sophisticated, high-scale security capabilities and translate them into clean requirements that make the engineering implementation seamless
- The "Shield" Momentum-Builder: You are obsessed with tactical progress. You manage the lifecycle of our Edge services, ensuring that Acquia remains the benchmark for global performance while removing the operational burden from both our customers and our internal teams
- The Context Architect: You thrive in an Agentic PDLC environment. You provide the high-fidelity "context slices"—threat profiles and security standards—that allow our autonomous development tools to handle routine configuration, rule-tuning, and monitoring
- The Scalable Peer: You view AI as a teammate that multiplies your impact. You proactively share your security context within the team, ensuring that every migration and value-model is built on a foundation of "Secure-by-Design" logic
- 5+ years of Product Management experience, specifically within Edge Services, CDN, Cybersecurity, or API-first Platforms
- Experience with Deep Integrations: A proven track record of taking complex backend capabilities and building a clean, native user experience on top of them
- Agentic Workflow Propensity: Experience (or a strong desire to lead) in evolving, AI-enhanced development cycles. You are comfortable using context-driven workflows to eliminate manual operational toil
- Technical Literacy: Comfortable discussing WAF rules, DDoS protection, DNS, and SSL/TLS with senior engineers and architects
- Location: Based in Canada, Costa Rica, or India. Must be able to maintain effective collaboration with North American strategic leadership across global time zones
What the job involves
- In this role, you will be a key partner to our strategic leads and engineering teams, focusing on the operational success of a frictionless security experience
- You will work in lockstep with our senior architects to translate complex edge-native security capabilities into the fabric of our Unified AI-Native Cloud Platform
- Your goal is to move beyond traditional bolt-on security models by streamlining advanced protections—ensuring that world-class security and content delivery are a seamless, automated part of the Acquia experience
- Functional Edge Support: Support the roadmap for our Edge suite by defining the functional requirements that ensure security and performance are treated as foundational platform features
- Simplify Security Complexity: Define the workflows that allow our platform to handle the operational friction of security—from automated WAF tuning to proactive DDoS mitigation—reducing manual effort for customers and engineers alike
- Lifecycle Value Alignment: Partner with the broader team to ensure our Edge and Security features support customer growth. You will guide customers toward adopting the modern, AI-native protections that drive superior, high-availability user experiences
- Agentic Collaboration: Act as a "Context Contributor" within the team. Collaborate with peer PMs to build a shared library of technical context, allowing the team to use autonomous agents to scale security documentation and compliance tracking
- Operational Execution: Translate high-level strategy into a prioritized functional backlog, ensuring that our security offerings are executed with precision, speed, and reliability
Our take
Acquia’s digital experience platform was born out of the Drupal Project, a popular free and open source software used to develop core content management systems. Drupal creator Dries Buytaert co-founded Acquia in 2007 in a bid to commercialise the software separately.
Considering that Acquia now counts Warner Music Group, NBC Sports, and Johnson & Johnson among its clients, and was acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $1 billion in 2019, it’s fair to say it’s been a success thus far. Indeed, the fact that Vista has a reputation for acquiring what it sees as “undervalued” companies says a lot about Acquia’s true worth.
Since the 2019 acquisition, Acquia has accelerated its growth and international expansion across the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Asia. It also acquired digital asset and product information management company Widen in 2021, proving its determination to keep adding to its product offering. It added new AI features to its digital asset management solution in 2024, doubling down in the face of an increasingly competitive market.
