[Hiring] Principal Product Manager @Palo Alto Networks

Role Description

We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to own synthetic monitoring for Cortex XCOR. You will translate front-end testing requirements from SREs and frontend developers (browser click-paths, multi-step API journeys, and underlying protocol checks) into a unified product that can be defined as code and executed globally or within customer networks.

• In collaboration with the RUM team, unify synthetic and real-user monitoring data so that synthetic failures seamlessly correlate with affected user cohorts.
• This is an early-stage build role where you will drive the core decisions defining the product.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience as a product manager, with deep knowledge of enterprise software.
• Experience with monitoring, testing, or developer infrastructure products such as synthetic monitoring, end-to-end browser testing, API testing, or CI/CD tooling.
• Working knowledge of how modern web applications are tested end to end: browser automation (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress), HTTP and API testing, and the protocol layer underneath (DNS, TCP, TLS).
• A track record of taking a product from zero to one.
• The presence to carry this in the room. You'll present to the customer's senior leadership and to our own executives, and be the one answering the hard questions.
• A history of shipping with agile processes and tight feedback loops.
• An obsession with getting the little details right.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI in the Product Development Lifecycle for everything from document writing to prototyping while ensuring your own thoughts and ideas are well represented in content.

Requirements

• Familiarity with observability in general, OpenTelemetry specifically and how telemetry data is collected, correlated, and stored.
• Experience building AI Native products with knowledge around building and/or maintaining MCP server(s).
• Familiarity with the digital experience monitoring category and how real user and synthetic data get used together.
• Comfort with test-as-code and infrastructure-as-code workflows, and with the CI/CD pipelines engineering teams run them in.
• Experience building and operating software as a service, including the unit economics of running customer workloads.
• Experience with design-led product development principles and best practices.

Benefits

• Compensation range: $176,800.00 - $286,000.00/yr based on qualifications, experience, and work location.
• Offered compensation may include restricted stock units and a bonus.
