The role

ABOUT THE TEAM OpenAI’s Cyber team works to make frontier AI a decisive advantage for defenders. The Cyber Blue Team is an operator-led group focused on turning real defensive problems into better models, useful products, safe Codex workflows, and integrations with the security tools defenders already use. Our ambition is simple: Raise attacker cost. Lower defender toil. Prove it by defending OpenAI; scale it through the ecosystem. We are not setting out to build another SIEM or autonomous SOC. We want to build the AI reasoning and workflow layer that helps security teams investigate threats, create and validate detections, improve their controls, and respond with greater speed and confidence. ABOUT THE ROLE We are looking for a Product Manager to help build a new generation of AI-powered cyber defense products. You will work closely with security practitioners, researchers, engineers, designers, internal security teams, customers, and technology partners to turn emerging model capabilities into products that solve meaningful defensive problems. This is an early-stage product role. The work will span product discovery, prototyping, evaluation, development, launch, and iteration. You will help the team identify where AI can create the most value for defenders and translate those opportunities into clear, usable, and trustworthy product experiences. Initial areas of focus may include: - Detection engineering and detection-content development - Threat hunting and investigation - Security validation and control testing - AI-agent and MCP runtime defense - Integrations with security platforms and enterprise workflows - Safe, governed assistance for incident response The specific roadmap will continue to evolve based on model progress, practitioner needs, internal learnings, and customer feedback. IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL - Work with security practitioners to understand high-value defensive workflows, recurring pain points, and opportunities for AI to materially improve out
