The Product Manager Role.

Reality Defender is looking for a Product Manager to turn world-class detection research into products that security, fraud, and identity teams can deploy and trust. You'll own the roadmap for our API-first detection platform — the APIs, SDKs, web app, and integrations that put our models into call centers, video meetings, onboarding flows, and content pipelines — working hand-in-hand with AI Research, Engineering, and our go-to-market team. This is a full-time role based at our NYC headquarters, reporting to VP of Product. Responsibilities include:

• Own the product roadmap for one of our deepfake detection products, prioritizing across customer needs, emerging deepfake threats, and technical feasibility — and making the tradeoffs explicit.

• Translate what enterprise and government customers need into clear requirements and shipped features.

• Partner with AI Research and the Red Team to turn model improvements and new threat findings into customer-facing capabilities, with clear success metrics for accuracy, latency, and adoption.

• Define and track the product metrics that matter (usage, activation, retention, detection performance in the field), and use them to decide what to build next.

• Support Sales and Solutions Engineering in strategic deals, security reviews, and customer validations, bringing product insight back to the roadmap.

• Partner with Marketing on positioning, launches, and competitive differentiation in a fast-moving category.

• Work with Engineering and Partnerships on platform integrations with communications, identity, and collaboration platforms.

• Help bring product requirements into compliance and procurement conversations with regulated and public-sector buyers.

Who you are.

• 4+ years of product management experience, ideally on a technical B2B product such as an API, developer platform, or security tool.

• A track record of shipping ML or AI products, with enough technical fluency to work credibly with researchers and engineers on model tradeoffs (accuracy, false positives, latency, cost).

• Experience selling into or building for enterprise buyers, and comfort in customer conversations with technical and executive stakeholders.

• Strong product judgment: you can set priorities with incomplete information, say no clearly, and explain why.

• Excellent written communication — your specs, roadmaps, and updates are clear enough that people across the company act on them without a follow-up meeting.

• Experience in cybersecurity, fraud prevention, identity verification, or trust & safety. (nice to have)

• Familiarity with audio, video, or real-time communications technology (telephony, WebRTC, conferencing platforms). (nice to have)

• Experience selling to government or highly regulated customers, or at a Series A/B startup where scope regularly outpaces headcount. (nice to have)

Within 12 months, you'll…

• Own a roadmap that measurably drives revenue, retention, and expansion.

• Have built a product development rhythm (discovery, prioritization, launch, measurement) that the broader team relies on.

• Be recognized internally and by key customers as the go-to owner for your product area.

• Be identifying the next set of product opportunities as the deepfake threat landscape evolves.
