Responsibilities
Drive the strategy and roadmap: lead the definition and execution of Fastly’s Next-Gen WAF roadmap, expanding our capabilities to protect modern applications. You will synthesize product opportunities across disparate data points, including attack trends, customer tickets, and market research, to prioritize features with pragmatism. You will collaborate with engineering and fellow Product Managers to ensure these capabilities interact cohesively with the broader Fastly platform
Security at the speed of code: obsess over the “shift left” experience. You will refine our workflows to ensure our Next-Gen WAF integrates seamlessly into customer workflows, from CI/CD pipelines to data monitoring tools, on-premises or at the edge
Evangelize and empower: be the voice of the product. Build a strong feedback loop with Sales, Security Research, Revenue, and Support teams. You will arm the field with the confidence to win competitive opportunities. Present the product vision to diverse audiences ranging from technical deep dives to high-level strategic updates
Elevate observability and trust: connect with customers to understand their need for visibility. You will define features that move beyond opaque mitigation, instead providing transparent, granular attack insights that prove the value of our protection
