Product Manager (Quantum-safe Cryptographic Inventory)

Your Career

Palo Alto Networks is hiring a visionary Product Manager to lead the development and global strategy for our Quantum-Safe Security application, delivering Cryptography Lifecycle Management, starting with Inventory and Readiness, leveraging the Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) platform. As organizations face the "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later" (HNDL) threat of quantum computers and the looming NIST 2030/2035 mandates, you will own the industry’s first "Closed-Loop" cryptographic resilience platform. You will transform our global network footprint into an intelligent sensor and enforcement engine that discovers cryptographic "Shadow Debt" and secures the digital future of the world's most critical enterprises and governments.

Your Impact

• Establish the strategic vision and multi-year roadmap for the Crypto-Resilience Engine and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) migration, aligning with global standards.

• Drive the end-to-end development and communication of the product roadmap to key customers and internal stakeholders, prioritizing the 'Visibility Journey' for core asset classes.

• Manage the development of first-in-class features, including Cipher Translation Proxy, AI-Powered Prioritization for critical assets, and AI Canvas Visualizations for executive reporting.

• Champion the future of cryptographic agility, transforming our offering into an end-to-end management solution for the customer's entire cryptography lifecycle.

• Proactively collaborate with Product Marketing, Sales, and Engineering teams to build custom integrations and scale the subscription-based service.

• Monitor and leverage product telemetry from the Strata Logging Service (SLS) to quantify risk reduction and prove the ROI of the PQC transition to board-level stakeholders.

• Translate highly technical cryptographic concepts into business risk and financial impact for C-level executives and other non-technical audiences.

Qualifications

Your Experience 

• 3+ years of Technical Architect or Product Management experience in Cybersecurity, specifically within Network Security, PKI, or Cloud Security.

• Proven experience building SaaS applications that deliver a great user experience on massive-scale logging and data platforms (e.g., Snowflake, BigQuery, or similar).

• Deep knowledge of classical cryptography: SSL/TLS, IPsec, digital certificates (PKI), and algorithms such as RSA, ECC, and Diffie-Hellman.

• An MS or MBA from a top-tier institution.

• Familiarity with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) NIST standards (e.g., ML-KEM, ML-DSA) and the challenges of hybrid key exchanges.

• Documented track record of launching and scaling enterprise-grade security products from '0-to-1' to significant annual recurring revenue (ARR).

• Experience acting as a subject matter expert or contributor in global standards bodies (e.g., NIST, NCCoE, CISA).

•  

• Strong understanding of network infrastructure concepts including Layer 7 inspection, App-ID, SSL Decryption, and next-generation firewall (NGFW) architectures.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or a related Engineering field.
