Product Manager
Salt Security
Salt Security is the original API Security vendor pioneering the market as the first vendor in 2018. Since then we have exhibited hyper-growth in a number of customers, threats stopped, and revenue. We saw API security as the security battleground of the future years ago as APIs started to form the foundation of the application innovation needed to drive business success today. Across banks, retail and transportation, IoT, autonomous vehicles, and smart cities, every modern app depends on APIs. Attackers realize APIs are the conduits to all sorts of valuable data and services – within the year, APIs are predicted to be the number one application threat vector. Without secure APIs, businesses cannot rapidly innovate. Salt Security has delivered the only patented solution to discover all APIs and their exposed data, stop API attackers, and provide remediation details for dev teams to write more secure APIs.
At Salt, we’re passionate about what we do. We work as a team and embrace new ideas, wherever they come from. We also enjoy all the benefits of a startup environment, including quickly seeing the results of your work, making an outsized impact on our company, and solving diverse challenges.

About the position:
We’re looking for an experienced and technically strong Product Manager to join our Product group and take ownership of key connectors and workflow capabilities within our platform.
In this role, you will lead the strategy and execution of our data collection connectors - a core foundation of Salt’s API security value chain, from API discovery and vulnerability detection to real-time threat monitoring. You’ll work at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, APIs, and large-scale data systems, translating complex technical challenges into clear, scalable product solutions.
This is a highly cross-functional role that requires strong technical judgment, the ability to influence without authority, and a hands-on, problem-solving mindset.
What will you do:
- Own the full lifecycle of Salt’s data collectors, including integrations with third-party vendors — from deployment and configuration to reliable, high-quality data acquisition.
- Define and evolve data collection strategies across cloud and API ecosystems, leveraging a deep understanding of cloud architectures and API technologies.
- Build and maintain strong technical partnerships with engineering teams, cloud providers, and third-party integrators to expand and improve data acquisition capabilities.
- Collaborate with partners across the cloud, security, and API management ecosystems to create scalable integrations supporting billions of API calls.
- Work closely with Engineering, Design, and cross-functional stakeholders to define requirements, prioritize work, and ensure alignment with product and business goals.
- Contribute to the product roadmap by shaping initiatives related to data collection, workflows, and platform scalability.
- Stay current on industry trends, customer needs, and competitive offerings to inform product decisions and continuous improvement.
Requirements:
- 3+ years of experience in technical product management or a closely related role, ideally in data-intensive, API-based, or cloud-native products.
- Experience working on B2B SaaS and cloud platforms.
- Strong technical background, including hands-on experience with software systems or close collaboration with engineering teams.
- Solid understanding of cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), APIs, and data collection methodologies.
- Proven ability to own products end-to-end and drive them from concept through delivery and iteration.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively across teams and with external partners.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn complex technical challenges into clear, actionable product strategies.
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.
Nice to have:
- BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
