[Hiring] Head of Product @Socket

Role Description

We’re hiring a Head of Product to define where Socket goes next and build the product function to support our next stage of growth. You’ll set the product strategy, bring our growing portfolio together into a cohesive platform, and help define what software supply chain security looks like as AI changes how software gets built.

You’ll work directly with Feross and the leadership team, and have real influence over what we build, where we invest, and how we grow. Partnering closely with Engineering, Sales, Customer Engineering, and Threat Intelligence, you’ll turn customer needs and market opportunities into clear product direction and products that ship.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll shape both the big picture and the decisions that bring it to life. You’ll also build the product function itself: establishing how we prioritize across our portfolio, make tradeoffs, measure success, and communicate our roadmap.

What You'll Do

• Set product strategy across Socket’s portfolio.
• Get close to customer problems.
• Partner with Engineering to turn complex security challenges into intuitive, technically sound products.
• Make prioritization decisions explicit.
• Own outcomes, not just launches.
• Partner with Sales on positioning, demos, and launches.
• Build a practical way to plan and communicate product work.
• Grow the product function over time.

Qualifications

• Senior product leadership experience, with a track record of taking complex products from strategy through launch and learning from the results.
• Experience building for developers, security teams, or other technical users, ideally in security, infrastructure, or B2B software.
• Technical fluency.
• Strong product judgment.
• An understanding of how customer value translates into business results.
• Clear written and verbal communication.
• A hands-on approach.

Preferred

• Experience with software supply chain security, application security, vulnerability management, or developer tooling.
• Experience building a product function at an early-stage company while continuing to ship.

Benefits

• Market competitive salary bands.
• Meaningful equity program.
• Comprehensive health benefits for you and your family (99% coverage).
• Flexible time-off, holidays, and winter shutdown to rest & recharge.
• Paid parental leave.
• Remote-first, with quarterly team off-sites.
