About the role
TL;DR
Own the control plane for AI agents, ensuring governance and observability.
- •As the Founding PM for the Control Plane, you'll own one governance plane for the full agent lifecycle: every MCP, skill, plugin, and agent, governed and observable across every surface an agent can touch.
- •Key Responsibilities Own the control-plane surface: discovery, visibility, deep session, real-time controls, and agent IAM.
- •Run discovery with security and IT buyers and the developers and agents who hit the proxy, turning signals into a ranked roadmap.
- •Make decisions, prioritize the roadmap, and ship with engineers weekly.
- •Requirements 8+ years in product management, including 3+ on security, infrastructure, or identity/IAM products.
- •Founder or early-PM experience; you've built product processes from zero.
- •Fluency with the buyer/user split: the CISO/IT team who buys governance and the developer or agent who lives under it.
- •Technical depth: you read code and reason about proxies, policy engines, OAuth/identity, and audit pipelines.
- •Customer obsession: you run your own discovery calls and can name five customers from your last role by first name.
