WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR :

We're seeking a driven, staff-level Product Manager who thrives in ambiguity, learns quickly, and brings humility to complex problem spaces-especially those at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and scale. This role sits at the heart of our efforts to build secure, resilient systems that protect our platform, users, and data across a rapidly evolving threat landscape. The ideal candidate is a technically fluent, systems-minded collaborator who understands how foundational infrastructure and security capabilities enable the broader mission of building a trusted, high-performance Trade Desk platform.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING :

As a Staff Product Manager in Infrastructure and System Security, you will lead the development of resilient, scalable platforms that safeguard critical systems, network and data across our global ecosystem. You'll define the vision and roadmap for security infrastructure-partnering closely with engineering, our cyber security team, and compliance teams to deliver robust solutions that protect against evolving risks while enabling business agility.

Your work will shape how we architect secure-by-design systems, enforce zero-trust principles, and ensure operational continuity across cloud and on-prem environments. From identity and access management to encryption, monitoring, and incident response tooling, you'll drive initiatives that fortify our defenses and earn stakeholder trust.

This role demands deep collaboration with internal teams and external partners to understand threat landscapes, regulatory requirements, and enterprise risk profiles. You'll translate complex security and infrastructure needs into actionable product strategies-balancing technical rigor with usability and performance.

Success in this role means delivering systems that are not only technically sound and compliant, but also foundational to our ability to scale securely, respond swiftly, and operate with confidence in a high-stakes environment.

WHAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE :

• 7+ years of Product Management experience, ideally in infrastructure, security, or platform domains.
• Product Strategy & Vision : Ability to define and drive long-term roadmaps for secure, scalable systems that support enterprise-grade reliability and protection.
• Security & Infrastructure Expertise : Familiarity with system architecture, threat modeling, identity and access management, and secure deployment practices.
• Stakeholder-Centric Mindset : Experience partnering with internal teams (engineering, IT, compliance) and external vendors to understand infrastructure and security needs, translating them into impactful product capabilities.
• Cross-Functional Leadership : Proven ability to lead and influence across engineering, security operations, compliance, and go-to-market teams.
• Data Fluency : Comfortable interpreting telemetry, audit logs, and performance metrics to inform product decisions and improve system observability.
• Scalable Systems Thinking : Experience designing and evolving infrastructure that supports high availability, fault tolerance, and secure multi-tenant environments.
• Strong Communication Skills : Capable of translating technical and security concepts into clear, actionable narratives for executives, engineers, and cross-functional partners.
• Bias for Action : Comfortable navigating ambiguity, making trade-offs, and driving progress in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
• Passion for Impact : You care deeply about building systems that are not only technically sound but also trusted and relied upon by users and stakeholders.
• Grit & Iterative Problem-Solving : You embrace complexity, test multiple approaches, and persist until you find the right solution-especially when the stakes are high.
