Product Manager

We are shaping the future of secure cloud access by enabling organizations to adopt just-in-time, least-privilege access across their cloud environments. Our platform empowers engineering and security teams to balance productivity with compliance by delivering identity-aware, policy-driven access at scale. Trusted by enterprises worldwide, we are redefining how modern organizations think about identity, entitlements, and security in the cloud, including how humans, machines, and AI agents get access to the systems they need. About the Role We're looking for a deeply technical Product Manager to join the team building Apono's access management platform, one product for every identity that needs access, whether it's an engineer, a workload, or an AI agent. You will own features from discovery to adoption inside a cross-functional squad, working hands-on with the systems our customers run : cloud accounts, databases, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and the agents now acting on them. You will talk to the DevOps, platform, and security engineers who use Apono every day and turn what you learn into features they want to use. This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and AI . If you'd rather open the logs yourself than wait for someone to explain them to you, this is the opportunity for you. Responsibilities Own features end to end: from discovery and requirements through release and adoption, inside a cross-functional squad that ships continuously. Go deep on access for every identity: understand how humans, service accounts, workloads, and AI agents get access to infrastructure today, and where it breaks. Turn hands-on workflows into product: translate real DevOps and engineering workflows into clear requirements for integrations, APIs, CLIs, and Terraform. Validate it yourself: dig into logs, deployments, and APIs to test assumptions, reproduce customer issues, and support engineering. Work directly with users: run discovery with DevOps, platform, and security teams at customers and prospects. Meet enterprise-grade security and compliance standards without slowing developers down. Measure what you ship: define success metrics and use product analytics to judge adoption and impact. What We're Looking For 3+ years of product management in B2B SaaS, building technical products for technical users. Strong engineers, DevOps engineers, or solutions engineers who have moved into product are welcome too. Hands-on technical background with at least some of these: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi), Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, ArgoCD), and deploying or running databases and servers. Solid understanding of authentication and authorization: SSO, OAuth, IAM roles, service accounts, secrets, and how cloud environments are secured. Curiosity about AI agents and what changes when software, not people, is the one requesting access. Hands-on experience with LLMs, MCP, or agent frameworks. A bias for shipping: continuous, incremental delivery alongside developers in Agile teams, and comfort cutting scope to keep momentum. Excellent communication, with the ability to explain technical detail to business stakeholders and business context to engineers. Fluent English, written and spoken. An advantage: background in identity and access management, cloud security, or startups. Why You'll Love This Job Work on access for humans, machines, and AI agents at the moment agents start acting on real infrastructure. Stay hands-on with the latest cloud-native, DevOps, and AI tooling, working side by side with engineering. Join a rapidly growing company where your work visibly shapes the product and the category. Competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
