Product Manager, Codex Security

About the Role

• OpenAI Security Products builds systems that help defenders better understand and respond to software threats. We are exploring how AI and automation can accelerate complex security workflows such as malware investigation, artifact analysis, and threat intelligence generation.

• We are looking for a Product Manager to help shape and execute on this vision. This role works closely with security researchers and engineers to turn advanced analysis capabilities into reliable, scalable products.

• The position sits in a tight loop between product management and security research, helping translate deep technical capabilities into tools that security teams can use effectively.

What You’ll Do

• Define product goals, roadmap, and success metrics for new security analysis capabilities.

• Work closely with security researchers to translate technical insights into product features and workflows.

• Drive product execution across engineering, research, and infrastructure teams.

• Help design systems that analyze software artifacts and produce actionable security insights.

• Evaluate product success using clear metrics and iterate based on user feedback.

• Coordinate cross-functional efforts across research, engineering, and product teams.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience building or managing technical products, especially in security, infrastructure, or developer tooling.

• Strong ability to collaborate with highly technical teams and translate research ideas into product direction.

• Clear thinking about product goals, metrics, and strategy.

• Comfort working in fast-moving environments where product direction evolves alongside research.

Preferred Background

• Familiarity with malware analysis, threat intelligence, and security research workflows.

• Hands-on software engineering experience

• Experience with AI-driven systems or developer-focused tools.

• Technical background in systems, networking, or software security.

Why This Role Matters

• Security teams increasingly face complex threats that require deep technical analysis and significant manual effort. Advances in AI create opportunities to rethink how these workflows operate.

• This role helps turn those advances into practical products that improve how defenders investigate and understand threats.
