Staff Product Manager - Security

Job description

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, is a leader in AI cloud infrastructure serving tens of thousands of customers. Our customers range from AI researchers to enterprises and hyperscalers. Lambda's mission is to make compute as ubiquitous as electricity and give everyone the power of superintelligence. One person, one GPU. If you'd like to build the world's best AI cloud, join us. *Note: This position requires presence in our Bellevue or San Francisco office location 4 days per week; Lambda's designated work from home day is currently Tuesday. About the Role Lambda's platform runs some of the most valuable digital assets in the world: frontier model weights and the training data behind them. AI labs need to know their weights are protected. Enterprises need to pass procurement and compliance reviews before a single GPU spins up. Security is not a feature we bolt on. It is the condition for these customers to run on Lambda at all. As Product Manager, Security, you'll own the security product surface of Lambda's cloud platform. That means identity and access management (IAM) across the console and the Key Management Services (KMS). You'll report to the Head of Platform Product Management, and partner closely with Lambda's Security Engineering team and platform engineering. Your mandate is a hard balance. Deliver the security capabilities that unlock enterprise revenue without adding too much friction to the customer experience or slowing down feature velocity too much. Great product managers at Lambda are defined by three things: insight, influence, and execution. Insight means you look at the data, determine what it means for customers and business, and then figure out what to do about it. But, a great idea doesn’t mean anything in a vacuum. That is where influence comes in. Influence means you take that idea and get others to want to buy into it; you win over engineers, designers, executives, and partners without relying on authority. But a great idea that everyone is excited about doesn’t matter unless it is delivered to customers. Execution means you work with the right people to get the idea launched, then measure and iterate. We hire product managers who learn new domains fast and reason rigorously from evidence. Deep security domain experience is a strong plus, but insight, influence, and execution are the bar. If you love making security the reason a deal closes rather than the reason a product slows down, we'd love to hear from you. We value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skills, and we are excited to hear from candidates who can bring unique perspectives to our team. If you do not exactly meet this description but believe you may be a good fit, please still apply and help us understand your readiness for this role. What You'll Do - Own the Security Roadmap: Define and drive the product roadmap for the security surface of Lambda's platform, from customer signal through launch and iteration. - Define Identity and Access Management: Ship IAM and KMS capabilities such as single sign-on, role-based access control, and API credential management across the Lambda console and the Lambda Cloud API. - Harden Tenant Isolation: Set the product requirements for isolation across Lambda's multi-tenant GPU infrastructure, covering On-Demand GPU Instances and 1-Click Clusters. - Build Audit and Compliance Capabilities: Deliver the audit logging, evidence, and compliance features that enterprise procurement teams require to buy. - Partner with Security Engineering: Work with Lambda's Security Engineering and platform engineering teams to turn security requirements into shipped platform capabilities. - Unlock Revenue Without Adding Friction: Prioritize the security work that opens enterprise segments while preserving the fast self-serve experience researchers choose Lambda for. - Measure and Iterate: Instrument adoption of security features, learn from customer and sales feedback, and iterate until the capability closes deals. You - Have 7+ years of product management experience, with at least part of that time on platform, infrastructure, or technical products - Turn data and customer signal into clear decisions about what to build next, and can show examples where your insight changed a roadmap - Win over engineers, designers, executives, and customers without formal authority, and bring them along on ideas they did not start with - Work with engineering to get products launched, measured, and improved, not just specified - Are technically fluent enough to go deep with security and platform engineers on topics like authentication, authorization, and isolation boundaries - Can weigh security rigor against product friction and make the tradeoff explicit rather than hiding it - Write specs, narratives, and customer-facing docs that stand on their own without a meeting to explain them - Able to define iterative plans that move an organization from the current state towards the desired outcome Nice to Have - Have shipped security products or security features, such as IAM, audit logging, or secrets management - Have worked with compliance programs such as SOC 2 (Service Organization Control 2) - Have built for cloud infrastructure, multi-tenant platforms, or GPU and machine learning infrastructure - Have sold into or built for enterprise procurement customers - Have experience partnering with a dedicated security engineering organization Salary Range Information The annual salary range for this position has been set based on market data and other factors.
