Senior Product Manager - DevSecOps & Developer Experience

Software Engineering, Product
Canada · Ottawa, ON, Canada
Posted on Apr 8, 2026

We are seeking a senior technical leader to guide the DevSecOps and Developer Experience tooling and platform product portfolio. This role treats CI/CD, security, and delivery capabilities as first-class platform products—reusable, customer-ready building blocks that can be delivered consistently to internal teams and external developers—enabling developers to build, deploy, and operate software quickly and safely across hosting models (on-prem, cloud, and hybrid) for highly regulated and customer-managed environments.

Role Purpose

This role exists to make secure, compliant, and repeatable software delivery the default—delivered as a self-service platform for both internal and external developers. By embedding supply-chain security, compliance controls, and intelligent automation directly into platform capabilities (not manual processes), the role enables teams to move faster without increasing risk. It also applies an AI-native lens to developer workflows across the software lifecycle, improving productivity, quality, and consistency while reducing cognitive load.

Key Responsibilities

Platform Product Management

  • Set direction, priorities, and measurable outcomes for CI/CD, GitOps, and release management platforms
  • Define hosting-agnostic packaging, versioning, and distribution models (on-prem, cloud, hybrid), including regulated, disconnected, and air-gapped environments
  • Drive a full self-service platform model (portal/catalog, templates, documentation, paved roads) that accelerates onboarding and delivery for internal and external developers
  • Treat internal application teams as platform customers, driving adoption, usability, and satisfaction

Secure & Compliant Delivery

  • Productize software supplychain security capabilities, including SBOMs, artifact signing, scanning, and provenance
  • Embed compliance controls aligned to NIST, CMMC, and FedRAMP directly into delivery workflows
  • Enable automated evidence generation and auditready artifacts as a standard platform capability

Developer Experience & AI Enablement

  • Lead developer experience across onboarding, SDKs, pipelines, and the internal developer platform (IDP), with a focus on repeatable golden paths and self-service
  • Define AI-native workflows (with appropriate guardrails) for code generation, testing, security analysis, documentation, and operational automation across the SDLC
  • Reduce cognitive load on engineering teams by standardizing and automating delivery practices

Leadership & Partnerships

  • Partner closely with engineering, security, architecture, and infrastructure teams to align platform delivery
  • Partner with Security/GRC and customer assurance stakeholders; this role enables controls-as-code, evidence automation, and auditability, but does not serve as the certification/accreditation authority
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for DevSecOps tooling strategy and key vendor relationships

Expected Outcomes

  • Faster and more predictable software releases across on-prem, cloud, and hybrid deployments
  • Reduced effort and cycle time for compliance, accreditation, and audits
  • Increased customer trust and deployment confidence through consistent assurance artifacts, traceability, and secure-by-default delivery practices
  • Improved developer productivity, consistency, and platform adoption for internal and external developers
  • Reduced time-to-onboard and time-to-first-deploy through self-service workflows and golden paths
  • Stronger software supply‑chain security and risk posture
  • Scalable, repeatable delivery practices across teams and environments

Experience & Technical Background

  • 7+ years of experience designing, building, and supporting DevSecOps software delivery platforms and operating models, including CI/CD, GitOps, and/or developer experience capabilities
  • Experience delivering and supporting software in regulated or customer‑managed environments
  • Strong technical fluency with cloud‑native platforms, Kubernetes, and container ecosystems
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST 800‑53, 800‑171, CMMC, FedRAMP), with an emphasis on engineering implementation mechanisms rather than certification ownership
  • Working knowledge of AI‑assisted development and delivery tools and how they can be safely applied in regulated pipelines

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Senior‑level stakeholder management with the ability to influence across organizational boundaries
  • Ability to translate security and compliance requirements into scalable product capabilities
  • Strong collaboration skills across product, engineering, security, and go‑to‑market teams
  • Customer‑centric mindset with a focus on platform usability and outcomes

You will be expected to work in a Hybrid environment reporting to our Kanata, Ontario location 2 or more times per week.
