Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Censys provides Internet intelligence by maintaining a comprehensive and continuously updated map of assets, ports, services, and certificates across the public internet. The Senior Product Manager will define business and customer priorities for the Internet Map, translate coverage and enrichment needs into engineering requirements, manage delivery cadence, and align engineering and cross-functional stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Internet Map Execution: You will define the business and customer priorities behind what goes into the Internet Map and how it stays best-in-class. This is the lever that enables Censys to be successful across every product and every segment we operate in
- Coverage: How do we grow the map, how often we refresh it, and how comprehensively? This spans expanding IPv4/IPv6 scan scope, adding and prioritizing ports and protocols, increasing scan and DNS resolution frequency, and improving certificate and host discovery. You'll define this data collection work as detailed engineering requirements and acceptance criteria, and track coverage against baselines to identify and close gaps
- Context: How do we enrich data into actionable intelligence? You'll define enrichment priorities based on customer and product needs: technology fingerprinting, risk scoring, and third-party data integrations. This includes evaluating external/third-party data sources for accuracy, coverage, and cost; defining the metrics used to judge data and enrichment quality; defining the schema that structures how coverage and context data is represented; and writing the documentation that makes both understandable and usable internally and externally
- Drive cross-functional data prioritization across the Censys suite and provide business priority input into sequencing for new protocols and enrichments, ensuring data investments align with company goals, resolve multi-product conflicts, and provide roadmap transparency to other product managers and EMs
- Engineering partnership and data quality: You ensure Engineering teams working on scanning infrastructure, data pipelines, and enrichment systems have well-defined requirements, clear acceptance criteria, and the context they need to make good architectural decisions. Track coverage and context quality against baselines. Identify gaps between current state and target, and translate findings into concrete engineering work to close them
- Cross-functional enablement: Peer product teams (Exposure Management, Security Operations, Critical Infrastructure, Platform) and GTM (Sales, Marketing, Customer Success) build on and sell your data. Keep both audiences current on what's shipping, what's changing, and what's coming next, through regular updates, enablement sessions, and technical documentation
