[Hiring] Staff Technical Product Manager @DNSFilter

Role Description

We are looking for a Staff Technical Product Manager to own our protection platform at the endpoint: the software our customers deploy across laptops, desktops, and mobile so their people stay safe wherever they work. The endpoint is our best vantage point on what a device is actually doing, and what a device needs in order to stay protected keeps changing.

• The ideal candidate is a deeply technical product manager who is comfortable starting from an open question rather than a specification.
• Must have the depth to turn it into something engineers can build and the judgment to reshape it as the constraints come into focus.
• Eligible candidates have worked successfully in a small to mid-sized fast-paced, hyper-growth, SaaS start-up or scale-up.
• This is a full-time and remote role with a strong preference for candidates in the United States who are located in either an Eastern or Central time zone.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of product management experience, including significant time on security, networking, or endpoint products.
• A real understanding of how traffic can be intercepted, inspected, filtered, or isolated, and of the encryption and privacy trade-offs that come with doing it.
• Experience with software that runs on machines you do not control: deployment through MDM, RMM, and scripting, conflicts with other software, VPNs, and unfamiliar networks.
• A point of view on AI as something to protect, not only something to build with, including shadow AI use and visibility into what agents and tools are doing on a device.
• A track record of taking an open, undefined problem all the way to a shipped product.
• Experience designing for technical users, including the interfaces, reporting, and data that make a capability usable.
• Comfort working hands-on with engineers, writing both the roadmap and the individual work items they act on.
• A working habit of using AI to move faster, Claude in particular, and a clear sense of where it helps and where it does not.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to executives, customers, and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to work hours overlapping with ET hours.
• Must be eligible to work in the region of hire without sponsorship from an employer now and/or in the future.

Requirements

• Bonus points for experience with multi-tenant, white-label, or partner-delivered products.
• A prior engineering, solutions architecture, or security research background.
• Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, and modern product analytics and customer feedback tools.

Benefits

• Pathway to promotion to additional organizational positions and responsibilities based upon results and performance, not just time in the chair.
• Passionate and intelligent colleagues who work hard and have a good time doing it.
• Paid company-wide week off at the end of each year.
• Flexible Vacation Policy.
• Awesome company swag.
• Full medical, dental, and vision benefits for US, UK, and Canada-based employees.
• Full short-term disability and life benefits; available long-term disability.
• Retirement savings account options with vested company matching for qualifying employees.
• All-hands in-person annual gatherings! Next time we are spending a week together in the Bahamas!
• DNSFilter is a pay-for-performance organization, which means there is an opportunity to advance your compensation based on performance over time.
• The hiring base pay is dependent on several factors, including level, function, training, transferable skills, work experience, business needs, and geographic location.
• DNSFilter participates in the E-Verify program.
• At DNSFilter, we utilize sophisticated software and tools to identify and eliminate Deepfake candidates.
