Product Manager, Detection Pipeline

Location: Remote

Department: Product

You live at the intersection of security and product management, and theres no place youd rather be. You understand that the detection pipeline isnt just plumbing. Its the connective tissue that turns raw security data into signal, and if ingestion, normalization, or correlation break down, everything downstream suffers. Youre not intimidated by the scale and complexity of data flowing through a modern security platform. Quite the opposite: you pride yourself on knowing how data moves from source to detection, where the pipeline breaks, and what it takes to make it fast, reliable, and cost effective.

You’ve got an informed opinion about what an MDR should detect, an opinion that comes from customer empathy, hands-on industry knowledge, and a set of experiences that didn’t always go as planned. You can hold a technical conversation with a SOC analyst and turn around and explain the same thing to a Sales team in plain English. Youve been waiting for a role where that combination of skills actually matters.

Still reading? Great. This role isnt for all PMs. Yes, all the standard PM things apply: plan, prioritize, communicate, and own a roadmap, build relationships, and become the authority on how internal teams and customers use your platform. But in this role, youll bring your security experience to bear on one of the most foundational parts of Expels platform. If you get your energy from untangling how security data flows through a platform at scale and turning that into a roadmap that makes customers safer, youll thrive here.

• 2–4 years of experience in product management or a directly relevant role, with experience in the security industry strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with product management and software engineering processes, from requirements definition through to launch.
• Familiarity with security tools — EDR, SIEM, and firewall products — and how they fit into a customers security stack.
• Broad knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and where security risks emerge in those environments.
• Experience with SIEM technologies is highly desired — bonus points if youve navigated integration or data pipeline challenges firsthand.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — you can write a crisp user story and present to a customer in the same afternoon.
• The ability to build trust across Engineering, Security Operations, Sales, Customer Success, and UX.
