The Contrast Runtime Security Platform enables powerful Application Security Testing and Application Detection and Response, allowing developers, AppSec teams, and SecOps teams to better protect and defend their applications against the ever-evolving threat landscape.

About the Position

Our mission is to revolutionize application security. At Contrast Security, we offer a new approach to code security and application protection, from developers analyzing the first line of code through instrumenting a sophisticated enterprise DevSecOps lifecycle, and deploying apps and monitoring the attack surface at-scale. 

The foundation of this is collecting data from applications in production and then providing this information to Security Operations Center (SOC) engineers to enable faster, more accurate detection and response.  As a Principal Product Manager you will drive this area of our technology stack. This is a highly visible and cross-functional role that requires a good understanding of best practices used in modern SOCs across all disciplines including threat detection, threat intelligence, SOC efficiency and automated response.  The successful candidate will have a strong understanding and hands on-experience with most elements of the security stack and the tools in use by cyber defenders including SIEMs, SOAR solutions and TIP systems.  You will work closely with our enterprise customers, field teams, and all other product teams. You will demonstrate a deep understanding of market trends and technologies, and apply this to create a strong roadmap for our innovative ADR solution.  

We are looking for a highly technical candidate, a solid mix of business and organizational skills, and the ability to operate in a matrixed cross-functional environment. This is a good opportunity for candidates with a background in security operations, security protection technologies, risk management and cloud/container environments.

• Develop a deep understanding of the application layer and associated risks and threats.

• Experience with developing and using AI/ML-based approaches to detecting malicious threat actor behavior
• A practitioner with hands-on experience building a SOC or selecting and prioritizing SOC tools for defenders. 
• Working knowledge and hands on experience with cyber security solutions, services and operations

• Extremely detail oriented and organized. You should be able to work closely with engineering to prioritize, define, and manage delivery on an ongoing basis
• An ability to use data to derive insights, measure impact and relentlessly prioritize
• Ability to operate in a highly matrixed environment
• Executive presence combined with a “roll up your sleeves” attitude
• Experience with SaaS products ideally in one or more of the following areas: Application & Cloud Infrastructure/Security, XDR, EDR, AV, IDS, WAF, SIEM, SOAR and CI/CD technologies
