[Hiring] Product Manager @Socket

Role Description

We’re hiring Socket’s first Product Manager. You’ll come in at a point where there’s real product-market pull, a growing customer base, and a lot of room to shape what comes next. You’ll have a direct hand in deciding what we build, why we build it, and where Socket goes from here.

You will:

• Own prioritization across customer commitments, support escalations, reliability work, and new opportunities, and be clear about what each new commitment displaces.
• Dig underneath feature requests. Talk directly with customers, sit in on CE and Sales calls, and test proposed solutions early enough to change course.
• Partner with engineers and designers to turn priorities into requirements, user stories, success criteria, and project plans with owners, dependencies, and milestones.
• Engage seriously with technical constraints, balancing cost when evaluating options.
• Keep a current picture of what we've committed to, from contractual obligations to exploratory work, and give GTM orgs clear guidance on what they can promise, what they can discuss, and how firm the timelines are.
• Write down the expected benefit and key assumptions behind each investment, follow up on adoption and outcomes, and bring what you learn into the next round of decisions.

Qualifications

• Several years of product management experience, ideally owning developer-facing, security, or infrastructure products in a B2B SaaS environment.
• A track record of making hard prioritization calls under real capacity limits.
• Technical enough to hold your own with engineers and customers alike.
• Customer curiosity; you get to the underlying problem instead of just passing along feature requests.
• You earn trust with engineers by bringing context, asking strong questions, and respecting their technical ownership.
• Strong project management instincts; you surface risks early and keep people aligned when scope or timing changes.
• Clear, concise written communication.
• Builder mindset; there’s no product playbook yet.

Requirements

• Experience with software supply chain security, application security, vulnerability management, or security platforms.
• Experience building products for developers or security teams.
• Familiarity with enterprise software evaluation, technical sales cycles, and customer-driven roadmap pressure.
• Experience joining as an early or first dedicated Product Manager.

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
