• Contribute to commercial planning & GTM of the product and own the outcomes.
• Lead a core team of engineers & designers and drive the end to end execution forward.
• Contribute to the evolution of Tamara’s Product Management practices as AI scales our work.

Qualifications:

• You have 4+ years of Product Management experience, with proven experience building 0—>1 products that have shipped and scaled.
• You have worked with early stage product teams or startups and have successfully taken a product from concept to launch.
• You have strong UX taste — you care deeply about the end-to-end customer experience and can hold a high bar for product quality.
• You have experience working on complex, multi-surface products with a large blast radius of impact.
• You are a strong collaborator who works effectively with engineering, design, data, and operations teams on a daily basis.
• You are data-driven — you have strong analytical skills, are comfortable with experimentation, and can use data to inform decisions and measure outcomes.
• You are able to think from first principles, break down complex problems, and navigate ambiguity with confidence.
• You have strong business acumen — you understand unit economics, business models, and can make decisions that balance customer value with business outcomes.
• You understand regulatory requirements and operational considerations that come with building financial products.
• You are customer-obsessed — you aren’t shy about getting on calls with merchants, visiting them, and deeply understanding their needs.
• FinTech experience — you have worked on financial products before and understand the nuances of payments, banking, lending, or adjacent spaces.

• Excessive false positives or low-value alerts
• Partner with SOC engineers to improve alert logic, correlation, and response playbooks
1. Adversary Simulation in Support of SOC
• Design controlled adversary simulations to test SOC capabilities:
• API misuse and abuse
• Lateral movement
• Unauthorized diagnostics or ECU access
• Align scenarios to MITRE ATT&CK (Cloud API + Automotive)
• Coordinate with Red Team only when advanced exploitation is required
2. SOC Telemetry & Signal Engineering
• Work with platform and product teams to:
• Improve log coverage and quality
• Define high-value security signals
• Reduce noisy or redundant telemetry
• Influence what gets logged, where, and why—from ECUs to cloud services
• Help SOC prioritize telemetry based on risk and detection value
3. Incident Readiness & Response Validation
• Validate SOC incident response workflows through:
• Detection-driven exercises
• Tabletop scenarios informed by real attack paths
• Measure and improve:
• Mean Time to Detect (MTTD)
• Mean Time to Triage (MTTT)
• Mean Time to Respond (MTTR)
• Ensure SOC procedures align with real attack timelines
4. Threat Modeling & Risk Alignment
• Leverage TARA / threat-modeling outputs to prioritize SOC coverage
• Ensure SOC monitoring aligns with:
• ISO/SAE 21434
• UNECE R155/R156
• Translate detection gaps into risk-based narratives for leadership and auditors
• Support audit evidence by demonstrating validated monitoring effectiveness
5. Automation & Continuous SOC Validation
• Build or enhance SOC validation automation, including:
• Detection testing frameworks
• Alert replay and validation pipelines
• Coverage and maturity dashboards
• Integrate validation workflows into:
• SIEM
• SOAR
• CI/CD where applicable
• Reduce manual SOC testing and increase repeatability
6. Metrics, Reporting & Leadership Communication
• Define SOC-focused KPIs such as:
• ATT&CK coverage by detection
• Detection efficacy over time
• Reduction in blind spots
• Produce clear SOC maturity and readiness reports
• Communicate findings to:
• SOC leadership
• Product security
• Engineering stakeholders
