Responsibilities
Develop and maintain a multi-year roadmap for Platform Security capabilities including certificate lifecycle management, PKI infrastructure, secrets management, token security, and cryptographic compliance (FIPS 140-3, TLS modernization)
Lead product strategy for secure-by-default platform foundations, including certificate authority enablement, key management systems, secure bootstrapping, and encrypted data-in-transit/at-rest standards across Splunk products
Partner closely with engineering, architecture, compliance, and product teams to deliver security-critical outcomes tied to regulatory requirements, customer needs, and Cisco-Splunk integration
Drive execution from concept to GA — translating security requirements into product features, guiding implementation tradeoffs, and ensuring scalable, operable, and audit-ready security systems
Influence internal partners and customers through clear RFCs, technical proposals, risk-impact evaluations, and roadmap presentations to align execution across distributed product teams
Champion a security-first culture passionate about resilience, crypto-agility, measurable hardening of the platform, and continuous improvement of secrets, certificates, and machine identity posture
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's, Master's, PhD in Computer Science, Security Engineering, or equivalent experience — with demonstrated depth in cryptographic or distributed security systems
7+ years experience in Product Management or Technical Product Leadership within enterprise infrastructure, cloud platforms, or security foundations
Recognized expertise in platform security — consistent record owning and scaling capabilities such as PKI systems, certificate lifecycle automation, CA/RA service design, HSM/KMS integration, mTLS, token/secret governance
Hands-on experience driving cryptographic modernization at scale — including TLS upgrades, OpenSSL migrations, FIPS 140-2/140-3 compliance, deprecation of legacy cipher suites, and crypto-agility planning across large product surfaces
Drive the security strategy for AI agent workloads and runtime environments — ensuring secure credential handling, secrets isolation, encrypted agent-to-agent communication, certificate-backed identity, and hardened execution surfaces for AI-driven automation
Proven ability to influence technical direction and security standards across multiple product organizations, with a history of defining frameworks, policies, and architectural principles — not just completing them
Outstanding written and verbal communication — skilled at producing high-clarity PRFAQs, technical narratives, risk justifications, and roadmap proposals to drive alignment from engineering teams to EVP/SVP audiences
