In this role, you will drive the strategy and execution for key areas of our CDR product line — focused on cloud threat detection, investigation, and automated response capabilities.

You will bring a strong background in cloud security, detection and response technologies, and a “can-do” attitude to help global enterprise customers secure their cloud infrastructure and containerized workloads.
You will collaborate closely with engineering, product design, product marketing, sales, and solution engineering teams, and interface with product leadership in a globally distributed environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to have a high-impact role at a company known for innovation and trusted by the world’s leading enterprises.

    •    Deep understanding of cloud security, cloud-native environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes, and containerized workloads.

    •    Familiarity with Cloud Detection and Response (CDR), CNAPP, or adjacent technologies such as SIEM, XDR, EDR, or threat hunting platforms.

    •    Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of cloud telemetry (e.g., AWS CloudTrail, Azure Activity Logs), cloud audit logging, and event-based threat detection.

    •    Knowledge of modern runtime security technologies, including eBPF-based monitoring, Sysdig Falco, Tetragon, and cloud-native network security techniques.

    •    Understanding of Zero Trust architectures and least-privilege enforcement in cloud environments.

    •    Experience working with cybersecurity concepts such as malware detection, file integrity monitoring, secure configuration management, and policy compliance.

    •    Strong analytical, organizational, and technical writing skills, with a data-driven approach to decision-making.

    •    Exceptional communication skills, both technical and non-technical, across geographically distributed teams and customer environments.

    •    Experience collaborating across multiple time zones and managing complex projects in a fast-paced environment.

Role and Responsibilities:

    •    Define and execute product strategy and roadmap for cloud detection and response capabilities within the Qualys platform.

    •    Gather and prioritize requirements based on customer feedback, industry trends, and competitive analysis.

    •    Develop clear product themes, epics, and user stories as input to engineering and design teams.

    •    Work closely with engineering teams to deliver high-quality product features on time and within scope.

    •    Drive key initiatives in cloud log ingestion and analysis, runtime threat detection using eBPF/Falco/Tetragon, network security analytics, and Zero Trust policy enforcement.

    •    Actively engage with enterprise customers to understand needs, gather feedback, and validate product direction.

    •    Track product success through metrics and KPIs, iterating based on customer impact and business outcomes.

    •    Support product marketing with positioning, messaging, launch readiness, and field enablement.
