Senior Product Manager, Secret Detection and Vulnerability Research

Responsibilities

• Own the business outcomes for Secret Detection and Vulnerability
• Research, including adoption, expansion, competitive win rate, and revenue contribution. Bring a point of view on packaging and pricing, not just features.
• Set the strategy for the full secret lifecycle: prevention, detection, validation, revocation, and reporting across GitLab.com, Dedicated, and Self-Managed.
• Treat detection content as a product. Define how rules, advisories, and intelligence feeds are sourced, validated, versioned, and measured, and make quality visible to customers.
• Hold the line on detection quality. False positives are a product defect and you will own the metrics that prove precision is improving.
• Work at the level of the technology. Read the rule syntax, question the entropy heuristics, understand why a scanner missed something, and challenge engineering with informed alternatives.
• Use AI to compress the distance between question and answer. Pull your own data, prototype your own flows, synthesize research and competitive input yourself, and bring conclusions rather than requests for someone else to investigate.
• Build the case for where AI belongs in the product: triage, rule generation, remediation guidance, and reducing the human review burden per finding.
• Partner with engineering, security research, threat intelligence, Field, and GitLab's own Security team, who are one of your most demanding users.
• Communicate in writing, asynchronously, with enough precision that a distributed team can act without a meeting.
