Job description

About Corridor

Software development is becoming autonomous. The fastest teams already work this way, and at Corridor, we are leading the way on secure development as the rest of the industry follows.

Security tools were designed for a world where a person wrote the code and a person reviewed it. That’s changing quickly. Corridor is securing software factories. We are the security solution for software that builds itself at every level of autonomy. We are preventing vulnerabilities as agents write code, and guiding teams to help decide what's safe to ship.

We're a small, talented team, led by Jack Cable (Former CISA - Secure by Design), Ashwin Ramaswami (Former CISA, Stanford, and Schmidt Futures), and Alex Stamos (Former CISO of Facebook, Yahoo, SentinelOne).

Corridor is backed by Conviction, with a $25M Series A led by Felicis, and our customers include ElevenLabs, Lovable, Mercor, and Langchain.

Summary

As a Product Manager, you'll own part of Corridor's product end to end. You'll talk to customers, frame the problem, prototype, and ship the product. You’ll be responsible for ensuring that the product brings value to users.

Our users are all technical: security engineers, platform teams, and the developers shipping AI-generated code. Your instinct for how engineers think and work matters greatly. This role works closely with engineering.

What You'll Do

• Own a scoped area of the product from problem framing through prototyping, rollout, and measurement

• Ship and experiment fast: try ideas with customers, keep what sticks, drop what doesn't

• Talk directly with security engineers, platform teams, and developers, and translate what you learn into clear product direction

• Use AI relentlessly to prototype and speed up your own work and help the whole team do the same

• Turn ambiguous, technical problems into simple, well-reasoned specs that engineering, customers, and leadership can all act on

• Enable anyone at Corridor to experiment with product functionality while holding a clear point of view on what customers actually need

• Establish a lightweight operating cadence that makes decisions, tradeoffs, dependencies, owners, and progress visible to the entire builder team. Everyone should understand what we’re building, why it matters, what comes next, and when or why the plan changes.

What You'll Bring

• Technical background: you can read code, reason about systems, and hold your own in a technical conversation with engineers. An engineering degree, meaningful side projects, open-source contributions, or self-taught depth all count

• Self-starter who loves to learn: you make progress on hard, under-specified problems without waiting to be told what to do, and you course-correct fast

• Fluency with AI tools: you already reach for AI to get more done, and you want to automate as much of your own job as possible

• Excellent communication: you make complex technical topics simple and persuasive, in writing and verbally

• High agency and high urgency: you own problems end to end and ship quickly

• Operating in ambiguity: you can turn ambiguous goals into priorities with clear outcomes, scope, owners, acceptance criteria, and measures of success.

Nice to Have

• Security, developer tools, or AI coding background

• Experience building evals or benchmarks

• Founder or startup background

• Experience shipping a product from scratch
