Databases are the beating heart of every business in the world.

Cockroach Labs is the creator of CockroachDB. Our mission is to be the trusted global database to run mission-critical applications for the world's most important businesses. We created CockroachDB to unshackle teams from the constraints of their database.

About the Role

Our Security strategy has four main pillars: identity and access management, network security, data protection & privacy and regulatory / industry compliance. We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to own the overall strategy and lead the roadmaps for data protection & privacy, network security, and compliance for our DBaaS offerings. You will partner closely with the Security Engineering, Compliance & Privacy, and Cloud Production Engineering teams to execute your strategy. Your work will make security, risk & legal teams at the world’s largest enterprises feel confident using CockroachDB Cloud offerings to store their most mission critical data.
