Employer Type
This role is for a Product Manager focused on advancing the cryptographic and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) features within HashiCorp's Vault platform. The manager will specifically work on features like certificate management, key rotation, and supporting emerging cryptographic standards, especially Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC). Key responsibilities include defining product strategy, prioritizing the roadmap, and communicating status to various internal and external stakeholders involved in technical security.
Key Responsibilities
Craft the product narrative by deeply understanding the security landscape, user requirements for key management, and crypto agility needs.
Develop detailed product strategy documents and roadmaps focusing on cryptographic features, PKI capabilities, and the transition roadmap for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC).
Prioritize the product roadmap based on feedback gathered from security practitioners, engineering teams, marketing, and the overall company vision.
Conduct comprehensive user research and create Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) to define clear requirements for the engineering team.
Ensure effective communication of product status to all internal and external partners, including sales, marketing, and engineering.
Required Skills
Three or more years of product management experience focused on developer or security products.
One or more years of experience with cryptographic technologies, PKI, certificate management, and key management systems (KMS) or hardware security modules (HSM).
Strong skills in user and market research, specifically within the cloud and enterprise security domain.
Ability to effectively organize and align multiple stakeholders toward a shared objective.
Analytical skills allowing for effective prioritization and tradeoff decisions.
Nice-to-have Skills
Strong technical understanding of cryptographic primitives, algorithms, key derivation functions, and zero-trust security models.
Direct knowledge or experience planning for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards and migration strategies.
Master's Degree (Preferred education).
Technology Tags
The primary focus of the role is expanding capabilities related to Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards and migration.
The role explicitly requires experience with key management systems (KMS) and defining strategy for key rotation.
The product managed (HashiCorp Vault) is a multi-cloud security platform dedicated to managing secrets and secure access.
The job requires planning for PQC standards and migration strategies, most notably the ongoing NIST standardization process.
This is a major underlying technology for Post-Quantum Cryptography algorithms, which the role is required to understand.
The work involves advancing cryptographic features and standards, which relies on formalized security proofs.
Cryptography, PKI, and key management systems are foundational applications rooted in information theory.
