Role
Who you are

- The successful candidate will have a strong understanding and hands on-experience with most elements of the security stack and the tools in use by cyber defenders including SIEMs, SOAR solutions and TIP systems
- You will demonstrate a deep understanding of market trends and technologies, and apply this to create a strong roadmap for our innovative ADR solution
- 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 security operations, security protection technologies, risk management and cloud/container environments
- 7+ years of product management/development experience
- The ideal candidate will come with a strong background in security operations, XDR or threat protection and prevention solutions
- Experience with developing and using AI/ML-based approaches to detecting malicious threat actor behavior
- A practitioner with hands-on experience building a SOC or selecting and prioritizing SOC tools for defenders
- Working knowledge and hands on experience with cyber security solutions, services and operations
- Extremely detail oriented and organized. You should be able to work closely with engineering to prioritize, define, and manage delivery on an ongoing basis
- An ability to use data to derive insights, measure impact and relentlessly prioritize
- Ability to operate in a highly matrixed environment
- Executive presence combined with a “roll up your sleeves” attitude

What the job involves

- Develop a deep understanding of the application layer and associated risks and threats
- Work closely with customers to understand their technical requirements and operating models for deployment and monitoring
- Develop a compelling product strategy that leads to compelling features across our platform and delivers value by enabling our customer’s Jobs-To-Be-Done
- Own the complete product lifecycle, from strategy to initiatives and epics and release. You will own product requirements, and definition of the product experience for our customers
- Establish and track clear metrics and KPIs
Our take
As cyberattackers become more sophisticated, security software needs to do the same to protect an organization's technological infrastructure. But rather than having security software that performs disruptive scanning or specialized security experts, it is better for software applications to protect themselves. Less holes can be exploited if attack prevention features are fully integrated.
Contrast Security is a software security platform pioneering a new era of self-protecting software. The company claims that only its software contains sensors that are embedded within applications to uncover vulnerabilities, prevent data breaches, and secure the entire enterprise. This enables teams to accelerate development cycles at scale.
However, the reality of cybersecurity is that there is no silver bullet. Thus, despite demonstrating unique and impressive value, Contrast will always be fighting for dollars with competitors like Veracode. Nevertheless, the company's continued development of new capabilities is sure to keep it in the game.
