About the role

Socket’s first Product Manager will shape product strategy, prioritize initiatives, and build scalable product practices by collaborating with leadership, engineering, Customer Engineering, and Sales to understand customer needs and drive shipped products.

Responsibilities

  • Own prioritization across customer commitments, support escalations, reliability work, and new opportunities, and be clear about what each new commitment displaces.
  • Dig underneath feature requests. Talk directly with customers, sit in on CE and Sales calls, and test proposed solutions early enough to change course.
  • Partner with engineers and designers to turn priorities into requirements, user stories, success criteria, and project plans with owners, dependencies, and milestones.
  • Engage seriously with technical constraints, balancing cost when evaluating options.
  • Keep a current picture of what we've committed to, from contractual obligations to exploratory work, and give GTM orgs clear guidance on what they can promise, what they can discuss, and how firm the timelines are.
  • Write down the expected benefit and key assumptions behind each investment, follow up on adoption and outcomes, and bring what you learn into the next round of decisions.

Qualifications

  • Several years of product management experience, ideally owning developer-facing, security, or infrastructure products in a B2B SaaS environment.
  • A track record of making hard prioritization calls under real capacity limits. Comfortable saying no, defining product boundaries, and making trade-offs explicit.
  • Technical enough to hold your own with engineers and customers; familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, lockfiles, and build impact considerations.
  • Customer curiosity; ability to uncover underlying problems and set realistic expectations.
  • Ability to earn trust with engineers and influence multiple teams without formal authority.
  • Strong project management instincts and risk management.
  • Clear, concise written communication; ability to work async and align stakeholders.
  • Builder mindset; willingness to help build a product playbook from the ground up.
  • Preferred: Experience with software supply chain security, application security, vulnerability management, or security platforms; experience building products for developers or security teams; familiarity with enterprise software evaluation and customer-driven roadmap pressure; experience joining as an early or first dedicated Product Manager.
