• Own the product roadmap, backlog, prioritization, and release planning for an AI-enabled security platform.
• Define product requirements, Features, User Stories, acceptance criteria, and release objectives.
• Lead Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, backlog refinement, reviews, and prioritization.
• Partner with Engineering and AI/ML teams to deliver LLM-powered vulnerability scanning and developer-security capabilities.
• Collaborate with Application Security and DevSecOps teams on SAST, SCA, vulnerability management, secure SDLC, and security finding workflows.
• Define product requirements for AI evaluation, including precision, recall, false positives, false negatives, regression testing, and ground-truth datasets.
• Support integration with GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, APIs, cloud environments, and developer workflows.
• Establish product metrics, adoption measurements, evaluation criteria, and release-readiness standards.
• Make technical product tradeoffs and communicate decisions to Engineering, Security, Risk, Architecture, Compliance, and leadership.
• Support governance, risk management, audit, and compliance requirements for AI-enabled products.
• Drive continuous improvement based on user feedback, product metrics, security findings, and AI model performance.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Technical Product Owner or Technical Product Manager with direct ownership of product roadmaps and backlogs.
• 1+ year of hands-on GenAI/LLM product development or delivery experience.
• Experience delivering real-world GenAI capabilities such as LLM applications, AI agents, RAG, prompt orchestration, AI-assisted developer tools, model evaluation, or production AI platforms.
• Strong understanding of Agile product ownership, including Features, Stories, acceptance criteria, prioritization, sprint planning, refinement, releases, and stakeholder management.
• Working knowledge of Application Security, DevSecOps, or secure software development practices.
• Understanding of SAST, SCA, vulnerability management, security findings, remediation workflows, OWASP concepts, or developer-security platforms.
• Understanding of AI/LLM evaluation concepts including precision, recall, false positives, false negatives, regression testing, and evaluation datasets.
• Strong SDLC and CI/CD technical fluency.
• Experience with technologies such as GitHub, Jenkins, APIs, AWS, Terraform, containers, or cloud-native development.
• Strong communication and stakeholder-influence skills with the ability to work across Engineering, Security, Risk, Architecture, and Compliance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with AI-powered security tooling or developer-security products.
• Experience with LLM-based vulnerability scanners or AI-assisted code analysis.
