Our Mission

The product management team’s mission is to help our users do their jobs better with lovable, essential products. We relentlessly pursue a deep understanding of user problems to inspire Threat
Connect and our users with a clear, compelling and cohesive product vision.

Our Team

The team itself is organized around two key user personas: 1) Threat Intelligence Producers and 2) Threat Intelligence Consumers. The needs of each persona are addressed by a Strategic Product Manager, who handles core platform and strategic initiatives for their persona. These two personas are supported in parallel by our Integrations and Data Analytics product managers, who are responsible for ensuring that each persona can quickly get value out of the platform with
-
- end use cases and
- leading data analytics. Each of our four product managers is supported by business analysts who assist them with producing software requirements that ensure our engineering teams build
- value, testable software. We value Integrity, User Focus, Nerdy Passion, Collaboration, and Curious Creativity. And speaking of Nerdy Passion, those aren’t just buzzwords: we have detailed documentation on each one and live them daily!

The Role

Acting as a bridge between product management and engineering, business analysts play an essential role. You will be responsible for uncovering and unpacking software requirements for our
- leading cybersecurity innovations and communicating them comprehensively and effectively to our engineering teams. You will make the world a safer place by ensuring that our software is complete, testable, and valuable for some of the world’s largest companies. You will also assist our product managers in making sound,
- driven decisions.

About You

You think technology is pretty cool. Every day a cool new product hits the cybersecurity space, and our customers are eager to get their hands on them. You’re excited by what other vendors in the space are working on, and can’t wait to see what innovative use cases they can enable in our platform.

You like puzzles. Going from a customer's need to a new technology to our platform is not always a straight path. You are energized by the idea of solving this puzzle and figuring out the best way to translate a cybersecurity process into “Threat
Connectese".

You prefer to chart a course rather than be micromanaged. You will be an expert in our platform’s technology. We trust our experts.

You hate unsolved mysteries. There’s a lot of uncertainty in software, and you’re invigorated by ensuring that no stone is left unturned.

You’re invigorated by your team. We want to create a team where members are free to take interpersonal risks, challenge each other’s assumptions, and help each other succeed. It’s not just about having “mandatory fun” at happy hours, it’s about wanting the best for each other.

You’re inspired by contributing to important and impactful things. Our company mission is to make the world more secure by turning intelligence into action. Your work will help make our customers' cybersecurity functions more effective to root out and keep out criminals and other
-
