An overview of this role

Security is at the heart of GitLab Ultimate, and it’s a key part of our customers’ journey to produce more secure software.

As the Senior Product Manager for Composition Analysis & Dynamic Analysis, you'll focus on container and dependency scanning capabilities that our customers use to secure their applications. While SCA is the focus, you’ll also manage our DAST and API Security product areas. This role combines innovative security technology and iterative product development at the scale of GitLab’s global customer base.

You'll drive high-visibility initiatives like Static Reachability Analysis, detection of malicious software, license compliance, and auto-remediation for vulnerable dependencies. As part of the GitLab platform, you’ll deliver results that security teams trust while serving the practical needs of developers who interact with your product every day.

You'll work independently to shape product strategy while collaborating with experts across GitLab. You’ll work most closely with the Composition Analysis engineering team; the Dynamic Analysis engineering team; our innovative Vulnerability Research team; and the rest of the Sec PM team, which manages all of GitLab’s security scanning, risk management, and governance features. Your decisions will directly impact GitLab Ultimate customers and help define the future of DevSecOps.

Here are some examples of our recent releases:

  • Static Reachability Analysis support for JavaScript and Python
  • Better vulnerability prioritization with EPSS and KEV visibility
  • Built-in scanning for images in GitLab container registries

What you’ll do

  • Work directly with customers and account teams to understand what our customers need.
  • Be the primary voice of SCA and DAST users and buyers in our Product team.
  • Combine metrics, customer stories, research, and your own knowledge to identify and prioritize the highest-impact work.
  • Craft requirements for new features.
  • Discover opportunities to improve existing capabilities—including in related product areas where you’ll collaborate with other product teams—and deliver them to users.
  • Clearly articulate GitLab’s current and future capabilities for SCA and dynamic analysis, including dependency scanning, container scanning, license scanning, API security, and related areas.
  • Represent GitLab in contexts like customer meetings, industry conferences, webinars, and our public issue tracker.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing and Field Enablement to equip our Field teams with knowledge and messaging about your product area.
  • As a Senior Product Manager, you’ll work closely with your counterparts, but you’ll be responsible for initiating, shaping, and driving projects independently.

What you’ll bring

  • Proven experience with Application Security products, ideally including hands-on work developing or managing SCA products
  • Deep understanding of Application Security personas, including developers, security engineers, and security leadership
  • Multiple years of product management experience, preferably with enterprise software or security tools used by development teams
  • Track record of successfully managing complex technical products and driving them from concept to market
  • Experience working with large enterprise B2B customers and understanding their security, compliance, and operational needs
  • Strong analytical skills with ability to synthesize customer stories, usage data, and market research into actionable product decisions
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including ability to explain complex security concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
  • Creative problem-solving mindset with ability to iterate on complex security challenges and balance detailed execution with strategic thinking
  • Enough familiarity with code that you can understand SCA, DAST, or API Security findings, discuss detection tradeoff decisions with engineers and researchers, and create simple demonstrations
Bonus qualifications
  • Experience building AI-powered features, especially for security use cases
  • Hands-on experience in an application security, security assessment, or similar role

  • Benefits to support your health, finances, and well-being
  • Flexible Paid Time Off
