At Contrast Security, we’re redefining how organizations protect their software at the speed of modern development. With industry-leading Application Detection and Response (ADR), we give teams the power to detect, stop and fix real threats in real time. If you're passionate about building smarter, faster, more effective security, you’ll fit right in.

We’re looking for sharp minds, fearless builders, and problem-solvers who thrive on turning complex challenges into innovative solutions.

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 at-scale.

As a Senior Product Manager for Application Security, you will drive the strategy and execution for our core security platform. This is a highly visible and cross-functional role that requires a deep understanding of the modern AppSec landscape, including how security integrates into development environments and CI/CD pipelines. You will work closely with enterprise customers, field teams, and engineering to define a roadmap that ensures broad security coverage and a seamless user experience across the DevSecOps lifecycle for users that include Developers, AppSec teams, and SOC teams.

We are looking for a technical candidate with a mix of business and organizational skills who can operate in a matrixed environment. This role is ideal for candidates with a background in application security, DevOps, AppSec / Vulnerability management, or SRE.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Strategy and Roadmap: Own and lead the Application Security product roadmap and strategy, ensuring alignment with overall business goals.

  • Customer Engagement: Work closely with customers to understand their security requirements, technical environments, and operating models for scaling security programs.

  • Product Lifecycle: Lead the complete product lifecycle, from high-level strategy and market analysis to detailed user stories and product requirements.

  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Act as a liaison between technical teams (engineering and design) and business stakeholders to ensure alignment on goals and timelines.

  • Metrics and KPIs: Establish and track clear metrics to measure product success and customer adoption.

  • Market Trends: Maintain a deep understanding of AppSec market trends and technologies to create a compelling and competitive product strategy.

Qualifications:

  • Experience: 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years focused on security software such as AppSec, Security Testing (SAST/DAST/SCA), XDR, or APM.

  • Technical Acumen: Strong technical background with the ability to influence software architecture, API design, and cloud integrations. Experience in software engineering or DevOps is highly desirable.

  • Strategic Thinking: Proven experience developing and executing product strategies that drive customer value and business growth.

  • Customer Focus: Ability to translate complex customer needs into actionable product requirements and a superior product experience.

  • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • Project Management: Proven track record of managing large, complex projects with multiple stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.

We're transforming the way the world secures software. If you're ready to make a real impact, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and grow alongside a team of passionate professionals, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us shape the future of application security.
