About the role

  • Own the end-to-end execution of one or more Security Products workstreams, translating strategy and customer needs into clear requirements, sequencing, and shippable increments.
  • Serve as the technical product owner for your scope by maintaining a healthy backlog, writing high-quality user stories and acceptance criteria, and keeping engineering unblocked through fast decisions and clear tradeoffs.
  • Partner deeply with engineering leadership to drive delivery planning, estimates, dependency management, and release readiness, with a focus on predictable outcomes and minimal rework.
  • Collaborate with UX and UI to design simple security experiences in the DigitalOcean console and API, then convert designs into actionable requirements, workflows, and instrumentation needs.
  • Work cross-functionally across Security, IAM, Networking, Support, Billing, and service teams to ensure integrated customer journeys, clear ownership boundaries, and clean remediation paths.
  • Define and maintain release criteria for your scope, including quality bars, rollout approach, customer readiness inputs, and internal enablement requirements.
  • Produce clear written narratives and launch assets that explain customer value, expected behavior, and operational considerations, in partnership with Corporate Communications, Product Marketing, and Developer Relations.
  • Create and maintain reusable templates, checklists, and stakeholder workflows that make product launches and customer updates consistent and low-friction.
  • Help align incident response communications by maintaining customer-facing update templates, coordinating stakeholder workflows, and ensuring product and incident messaging remains accurate and timely during high-priority events.
  • Use customer feedback, product data, and operational learnings to iterate quickly, reduce friction, and improve the effectiveness of Security Products over time.
