Job Description
Elastic Security is bringing on a Principal Product Manager responsible for XDR and for the exposure and vulnerability features merging into it. The job is full-time, remote, and located in the United States.
XDR anchors the role. Its reach covers endpoints, cloud, identities and networks, from assembling correlated alerts and incidents to running response actions and closed-loop automation. Exposure and vulnerability management represents the main growth area, and the product manager also keeps noise under control so that new features earn adoption.
Much of the effort goes into requirements that engineering teams can build from on the first pass. The product manager works with engineering leads and Elastic Security Labs researchers, grounding detection and exposure scoring in current threat research. The role also works with the Entity Analytics team, supplying asset criticality and entity context used for exposure ranking.
The strongest candidates know how raw scanning differs from asset inventory and from true exposure prioritization, and they understand why reachability and exploitability carry more weight than CVSS severity. A solid grasp of the analytics behind detection and prioritization is needed, though hands-on modeling is not. Understanding how AI, ML and agent systems get attacked and defended is an advantage.
The listing sets a typical starting base range of EUR 67,000 to 106,000 with no variable pay. Candidates should bring at least four years in security or enterprise B2B software within a total of 7 to 10 years in product management.
Responsibilities
- Carry XDR from alert correlation and incident assembly through to response automation
- Deliver exposure features such as patch management and remediation workflows
- Keep noise reduction in view so capabilities are adopted
- Write requirements that engineering leads can build from without extra clarification meetings
- Work with Security Labs to ground detection logic and exposure scoring in threat research
- Coordinate with the Entity Analytics group on asset criticality and entity context
Requirements
- 7 to 10 years in product management, including four years in security or enterprise B2B software
- Working familiarity with XDR, EDR, SIEM or wider security work
- Solid analytics understanding and awareness of the current threat landscape
- Technical judgment to assess the feasibility and scope of engineering work
Qualifications
- Prior practitioner experience before moving into product
- Awareness of AI security and of the attack and defense of agentic systems
Core Skills
Benefits
- Pay set by the work performed rather than by prior salary
- Health coverage that reaches families in many regions
- Schedule and location flexibility across numerous roles
- Generous yearly vacation allowance
- Matching of donations and volunteer effort up to $2,000 (or local equivalent)
- Volunteer time of up to 40 hours a year for causes the employee chooses
- Parental leave of at least 16 weeks
