What is The Role

Elastic Security is looking for a Principal Product Manager to own XDR and the exposure and vulnerability capabilities converging with it. The best detection-and-response products are built on a clear read of how attacks actually unfold and where defenders actually lose time. That read is getting harder, not easier. The SOC's job now spans reactive detection and proactive exposure, and the two are collapsing into a single motion faster than most vendors can reorganize around it.

In this role you will own XDR end to end, from the detection-and-response core through the exposure and vulnerability work now converging with it. XDR is the center of gravity. Exposure and vulnerability management is the primary expansion, and the surrounding surfaces, attack surface and cloud posture, are signals you bring in to sharpen prioritization rather than products you build from scratch. You will be the person a CISO trusts to explain why one exposure matters more than a thousand others, the person an engineering lead respects for the quality of your requirements, and the person who turns a fast-moving market into a roadmap Elastic can win on. You will work at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and the Elastic Security Labs research team, on a platform whose unified data layer is the reason convergence can be native here instead of bolted on.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own XDR strategy and delivery across cross-domain detection and response across endpoint, cloud, identity, and network. Work from correlation and incident building through response actions and the closed-loop automation that runs at machine speed without taking the analyst out of the loop.

• Lead Elastic's XDR expansion into exposure and vulnerability management. This includes features like patch management, advanced device control, host firewall management, and remediation workflow. You'll also manage noise reduction to ensure these capabilities are used successfully.

• Flexible working styles: You collaborate successfully with different functions and teams. You easily adapt to various projects, codebases, or teams based on the business's needs. You also work autonomously. You make decisions and achieve results in a distributed team by communicating clearly, directly, and openly.
