Familiarity with the modern Security Operations Center (SOC) ecosystem will further enhance your ability to integrate Corelight's products with existing security tools.
In this role, you will lead the strategic direction and execution of Corelight's NDR sensor platform, focusing on enhancing engine capabilities and ensuring seamless application integrations.

Your responsibilities will include conducting user research to understand customer needs, analyzing market trends to identify opportunities for innovation, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on product goals.
You will also be responsible for defining success metrics for your products, tracking performance, and iterating on features based on user feedback and data analysis. Your role will involve regular communication with stakeholders to provide updates on product development and gather insights that inform future enhancements. You will play a key role in shaping the product vision and ensuring that Corelight remains at the forefront of cybersecurity solutions.
