Senior Technical Product Manager II, Security Products

We are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager II to help build and ship DigitalOcean's Security Products with high execution quality and clear customer communication. This role sits at the intersection of security product strategy and engineering delivery, turning customer needs and security outcomes into well-scoped work, crisp requirements, and shippable increments.

You will partner closely with engineering and UX to drive backlog health, delivery rhythm, dependency management, and release readiness across one or more Security Products workstreams, while also strengthening how we communicate Security Products and incident updates. This includes producing clear written narratives and launch assets, and creating reusable templates, checklists, and stakeholder workflows that keep product launches and incident response communications consistent, accurate, and timely in partnership with Corporate Communications, Product Marketing, and Developer Relations.

You will report to the Head of Security Products, who owns overall portfolio strategy and the broader Security voice.

Responsibilities:

• 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.

Key Metrics:

• Delivery predictability
• Backlog and requirement quality
• Dependency health
• Release readiness and launch quality
• Messaging consistency
• Incident communications readiness
• Customer outcomes for owned scope

What You'll Add to DigitalOcean:

• 5+ years of experience in Product Management or a related technical field
• Prior product experience in cloud, SaaS, or security products preferred
• Strong ability to partner with engineering teams at a high level of technical detail
• Experience translating strategy and customer needs into clear engineering requirements, sequencing, and shippable increments
• Strong writing skills with the ability to produce clear requirements and documentation
• Experience with 0 to 1 product development or early-stage product execution
• Understanding of security concepts such as posture management, IAM, logging, or WAF preferred
• Experience working with UX and UI teams to translate problem statements into intuitive experiences
• Ability to work across multiple teams to align on requirements, dependencies, and system interactions
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with evolving inputs and a bias toward action
• A collaborative, low-ego approach that strengthens team health and accelerates delivery
