Description

Modern software demands continuous security validation. Cobalt is pioneering the evolution beyond legacy, point-in-time PTaaS through our Autonomous and Continuous pentesting platform-providing continuous, scalable, and AI-driven security coverage across enterprise environments.

In the role of Senior Technical Product Manager, you will shape the strategic product vision, steer live initiatives, and spearhead 0-to-1 feature development to drive business ROI across Cobalt’s Autonomous and Continuous Pentesting portfolio.

You will combine strong business acumen with technical rigor, driving clear feature ownership from discovery to delivery.
