Domain depth in application security, vulnerability management, or security research. You have worked on or adjacent to scanners, detection content, threat intelligence, or SDLC security tooling and you know how these products actually get evaluated in a bake-off. Technical credibility sufficient to earn the respect of a security engineering team. You do not need to have written the scanner, but you should be able to reason about detection logic, data pipelines, CI integration, and the tradeoffs between coverage and noise. Commercial reasoning. You start from revenue mechanics, buyer motion, and competitive displacement, then work inward to product decisions. Candidates who reason only from feature lists outward are not a fit. Evidence of using AI as a force multiplier in your own work: research, analysis, data pulls, prototyping, drafting. Consuming a chat assistant occasionally is not the same as restructuring how you work. Judgment under ambiguity. You bring structured options and a recommendation instead of escalating an open question. Bias for clarity. You can take a noisy, technical, politically contested pro

At Render, we’re building the modern cloud platform for developers creating AI-native, full-stack, multi-service applications. Our mission is to eliminate the tradeoff between the power of hyperscalers and the simplicity of developer-friendly platforms—so teams can ship fast, scale reliably, and focus on their product, not infrastructure. Unlike complex hyperscalers or ephemeral edge/serverless solutions, Render offers a developer-first experience with persistent compute, dynamic autoscaling, built-in orchestration, and observability, allowing teams to launch, scale, and manage real-world applications without writing infrastructure code or managing servers. Whether you're building LLM-powered applications, scalable SaaS products, or async processing pipelines, Render empowers teams to move fast and scale confidently from MVP to millions of users. Our platform is trusted by over 7 million developers worldwide and continues to grow rapidly. In February 2026, we raised an additional $100M in Series C financing, bringing our total funding to $260M, to accelerate our vision of making cloud infrastructure both powerful and intuitive—d

8+ years of product management experience, with at least 3 years on internal platform, infrastructure, or developer-experience products. Deep experience building platforms that other teams build on you understand the difference between a platform and an application, and you have opinions about API design, developer ergonomics, and self service. Demonstrated experience with AI/ML platforms, agent frameworks, LLM-powered applications, or agentic systems. You know what an agent runtime is, what RAG means in practice, and why evaluation is the hardest part. Strong technical foundation you can read architecture diagrams, discuss trade offs with engineers (e.g., sync vs. async, checkpointing strategies, context window management), and make informed prioritization decisions on deeply technical work. Experience defining and shipping developer experiences: SDKs, CLIs, templates, documentation, and self service workflows. You measure success by adoption and developer NPS, not feature count. Proven ability to lead cross-functional initiatives across 4+ teams without direct authority. You influence through clarity, conviction, and stakeholder alig

TL;DR We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to own Security at Lovable, end-to-end, from conception through rollout. You'll make sure the millions of apps built on Lovable are safe, trustworthy, and secure by default, turning security from a checkbox into a genuine product differentiator. Why Lovable? Lovable is the software creation platform that gives people the power to act on the problems closest to them. For decades, turning an idea into software required so much capital, technical fluency, and time that many ideas never came to life. Lovable is the counterargument: a platform for all people with ideas, ambition, and problems worth solving. From solopreneurs to small business owners to teams at companies like Adidas and Zendesk, people have built over 60 million projects on Lovable since its launch in November 2024. And we’re just getting started. We’re building a generational company from Stockholm, with growing teams in London, Boston, New York, and San Francisco. Our team is small, talent-dense, and moving quickly, with a culture rooted in extreme ownership, high velocity, and low-ego collaboration. We look for people who care deeply, ship fa
