INTRODUCTION
We are seeking a Product Owner/Senior Product Owner to support critical cybersecurity operations across Cyber Response and Threat Intelligence functions within a fast-paced enterprise Information Security organization. This role will oversee and help coordinate initiatives spanning cyber incident response, security investigations, threat intelligence, vulnerability risk management, and operational security workflows. The Product Owner will partner closely with Security Operations, Threat Intelligence, Engineering, and Risk teams to improve operational readiness, accelerate response capabilities, and drive modernization efforts through automation and AI-enabled solutions. The ideal candidate understands modern cybersecurity operations environments and has experience helping teams improve prioritization, operational efficiency, incident response, and risk visibility. This individual must be comfortable operating in rapidly changing environments where priorities shift quickly based on emerging threats and operational risk. This is not a traditional backlog administration role. We are looking for a proactive leader who can identify operational gaps, connect information across teams, drive process improvements, and influence organizational change across cybersecurity functions.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Support product ownership and operational coordination across Cyber Response and Threat Intelligence functions
- Partner with SOC, Incident Response, Threat Intelligence, Vulnerability Management, and Engineering teams to prioritize operational initiatives
- Translate threat intelligence insights into actionable operational priorities, backlog updates, and response workflows
- Drive automation and AI-enabled operational improvements to improve cyber response speed and reduce manual effort
- Coordinate cross-functional cybersecurity initiatives across multiple operational teams
- Lead backlog prioritization and roadmap planning for security operations initiatives
- Use KPIs, operational metrics, and risk indicators to drive prioritization and continuous improvement efforts
- Identify operational bottlenecks and opportunities to improve incident response, vulnerability remediation, and investigative workflows
- Support ServiceNow-related vulnerability management and operational workflow initiatives
- Communicate operational risk, priorities, and recommendations to technical and business stakeholders
- Help drive adoption of modern Product Operating Model practices within cybersecurity operations teams
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 5+ years of experience in Product Ownership, Product Management, Security Operations, or Cybersecurity Program Leadership roles
- Strong understanding of cybersecurity operations and incident response environments
- Experience working with:
- Threat Intelligence
- Vulnerability Management
- Incident Response
- SOC Operations
- Security Investigations
- Experience driving operational process improvements and automation initiatives
- Familiarity with AI-enabled workflows and modern cybersecurity threat landscapes
- Experience working in highly dynamic operational environments with rapidly shifting priorities
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills across technical and business teams
- Experience using KPIs and operational metrics to drive decision-making and prioritization
- Strong Agile/Product Management fundamentals including backlog management and roadmap planning
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience supporting enterprise Security Operations Centers (SOC)
- Experience with ServiceNow security or vulnerability management workflows
- Familiarity with SIEM, SOAR, EDR, WAF, DLP, or Threat Intelligence platforms
- Experience implementing security automation workflows
- Exposure to AI/ML use cases within cybersecurity operations
- Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) or related Agile certification
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- Faster and more coordinated cyber response operations
- Improved alignment between Threat Intelligence and Cyber Response teams
- Increased automation and operational efficiency
- Better prioritization of operational and security risk workstreams
- Strong collaboration and communication across cybersecurity teams

Mid Level Product Security Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level product security engineer job?
Position your experience around ownership, not just execution. Highlight security features or systems you led from design through deployment, any cross-functional collaboration with product or engineering teams, and measurable outcomes like reduced attack surface or faster vulnerability resolution. Tailor your resume to show you can operate with limited oversight, and demonstrate familiarity with threat modeling, secure SDLC, and relevant compliance frameworks.
Which companies hire mid level product security engineers?
Companies hiring mid level product security engineers right now include Harvey, Palo Alto Networks, and 1X, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of large technology firms, financial institutions, and growth-stage companies that need engineers who can own security programs without heavy management oversight.
Are there remote mid level product security engineer jobs?
Yes, remote and hybrid arrangements are common at this level. About 50% of mid level product security engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how many security functions translate well to distributed work. Fully on-site roles tend to appear more often in regulated industries like defense, healthcare, and finance where data handling policies restrict remote access.
How do I move up to a mid level product security engineer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built on deepening technical ownership over time. Focus on moving from executing assigned tasks to leading defined security workstreams, such as owning a vulnerability management program or driving a threat modeling process for a product area. Demonstrating measurable impact, building relationships across engineering and product teams, and developing expertise in one or two security domains, like application security or cloud security, accelerates the transition.
Which industries hire the most mid level product security engineers?
Mid Level product security engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Banking & Financial Services, and Retail, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they ship software products at scale and face regulatory, reputational, and operational pressure to embed security engineers directly into product development teams rather than treat security as a separate audit function.
