Job Description

Come work at a place where innovation and teamwork come together to support the most exciting missions in the world!

  • As a Senior Technical Program Manager at Qualys, you will drive the execution of complex, cross-functional programs at the intersection of Threat Research, Product, and Platform Engineering. You will own end-to-end program delivery, translate deep technical work into measurable business outcomes, and ensure operational excellence in a high-velocity cybersecurity environment.

This role demands strong technical acumen, rigorous execution discipline, and the ability to influence across engineering, research, and executive leadership.

Key Responsibilities

Program Planning & Execution

  • Define program scope, success criteria, and dependencies; create and execute detailed quarterly and multi-quarter program plans.
  • Drive on-time delivery of complex technical initiatives across research, engineering, and platform teams.
  • Own program governance, milestone tracking, and execution cadence, including sprint planning and reviews.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership
  • Act as the primary interface (API) between Threat Research, Product Management, Platform Engineering, and Executive stakeholders.
  • Identify downstream dependencies early, negotiate timelines, and resolve conflicts to prevent execution bottlenecks.
  • Hold engineering and research teams accountable to commitments while fostering strong collaboration and trust.
  • Risk, Dependency & Incident Management
  • Proactively identify technical, operational, and delivery risks; define mitigation strategies and contingency plans.
  • Translate technical blockers and security risks into clear business impact statements for leadership and product stakeholders.
  • Demonstrate resilience and decisiveness in high-pressure environments such as SOC, Threat Research, or Incident Response operations.
  • Technical Ownership & Domain Expertise
  • Own and manage the Threat Research execution queue, ensuring alignment with product and platform priorities.
  • Apply a strong understanding of the cybersecurity threat landscape, including CVEs, CVSS scoring, exploit maturity (PoC vs. weaponized exploits), and vulnerability lifecycle.
  • Ensure seamless handoff of research outputs into productization and engineering workflows.
  • Metrics, Dashboards & Reporting
  • Define and track KPIs to measure program health, delivery performance, risk posture, and operational efficiency.
  • Design, script, and maintain automated dashboards using tools such as JIRA, Salesforce, Tableau, APIs, SQL, or Python.
  • Deliver clear, data-driven insights to technical teams and executive leadership.
  • Process Excellence & Tooling
  • Configure, maintain, and optimize program management tools (JIRA, Salesforce, Confluence) to support scalable execution.
  • Drive continuous improvement of workflows, operating models, and Agile practices to enhance efficiency and quality.
  • Own the team's information architecture in Confluence, enforcing a documentation-first culture—no operational process exists unless it is documented.
  • Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or Project Management within technology-driven organizations.
  • Strong expertise in SDLC, Agile methodologies, and program execution at scale.
  • Hands-on experience with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and reporting platforms.
  • Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills.
  • Proven ability to operate effectively in fast-paced, evolving, and high-stakes environments.
  • Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working in the cybersecurity domain, including vulnerability management, threat research, SOC, or incident response.
  • Familiarity with SQL and/or Python for data extraction, analysis, and reporting.
  • Experience supporting or leading programs involving security research, platform engineering, or cloud-scale products.
