Director of Product Management

Who We Need

We are seeking a Director of Product Management to lead the product strategy and execution of our embedded software development toolkit with a strong focus on delivery and cybersecurity.

Our open source core platform Aranya - and the platforms that build on it - provided embedded security controls for identity, entitlements, and confidentiality. We're unique because our technology operates 1: over disrupted and intermittent links (DDIL), and 2: on IoT and embedded devices (low-SWAP). This role requires deep technical expertise in embedded security, an understanding of developer workflows, and a proven ability to drive adoption in B2B, industrial, defense, and IoT markets.

The candidates key Responsibilities will be:

• Own and define product strategy for the embedded security toolkit, ensuring alignment with customer security requirements, compliance standards, and industry trends.
• Lead the full product lifecycle, from roadmap development to execution, ensuring market-leading cybersecurity and availability capabilities for embedded systems.
• Engage with customers, developers, and stakeholders to identify pain points and drive security-first innovations including secure by design principles.
• Collaborate with engineering, security teams, and ecosystem partners to deliver robust, scalable, and developer-friendly security toolkits.
• Monitor evolving threats, standards (e.g., NIST 800-207, IEC 62443), and regulations (e.g., IoT security mandates, DoD Zero Trust Guidelines) to shape product direction.
• Develop KPIs and business cases to measure adoption, security effectiveness, and product success.
• Support sales and marketing teams with technical expertise, technical messaging, and competitive positioning.

Required Education and Experience

• Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field. You won't be able to do this job if you don't have hands-on software engineering experience.
• Embedded security expertise: Strong understanding of secure coding, cryptography, authentication, entitlements management, and data confidentiality in embedded systems.
• Embedded Networking Expertise: An understanding of the challenges of edge networks in environments where message delivery cannot be guaranteed.
• Developer Ecosystem Knowledge: Familiarity with IDE's, debuggers, CI/CD for secure development, hardware security modules (HSMs) IoT devices, and trusted execution environments (TEEs).
• Leadership & Communication: The proven ability to lead cross-functional teams, influence security-first development, and communicate complex cybersecurity topics to diverse audiences.
• Go-to-Market & Compliance Strategy: Experience launching security-focused products and navigating security compliance landscapes.
• Agile & Secure Development Practices: Proficiency in Agile methodologies, secure DevOps, and risk-based security management.

Preferred Education and Experience:

• Experience with defense/DoD, IoT security, OT cybersecurity, or automotive security requirements.
• Knowledge of data protections and provenance principles.
• Knowledge of Zero Trust security principles and embedded access control frameworks.
• Familiarity with PKI, secure boot, encryption key management, and runtime security.
• Experience engaging with regulators, industry consortia, and security standardization efforts.
