What's in it for you
We are looking for a talented Principal Product Manager who is passionate about creating a seamless experience for the enterprises as they adopt Netskope Skylight AI Security Platform. In this role you will lead the strategy and development of AI Agent security for AI applications and agents running locally, detect risky or anomalous behavior (such as prompt injection, data leakage, and unsanctioned tool use), and enable security teams to respond in real time.
You’ll partner with engineering, research, and customer-facing teams to secure risky agent actions on end user devices and agent platforms with well-defined security requirements, and shape the roadmap as AI agents become a core part of how employees work. Ideal candidates bring 10+ years of product management experience (including endpoint security), a deep understanding of how AI models, agents, and tool-calling protocols such as MCP work, and a track record of influencing without authority and explaining technical risk to both practitioners and executives.
