Patchstack: Product Manager (Europe)

Are you ready to join a fast-growing team that’s redefining WordPress security? At Patchstack, we’re on a mission to make the web safer, and we’re looking for a talented Product Manager to help us deliver our suite of security products.

What is Patchstack?

We are a team passionate about open-source and security. We protect website owners and developers from hackers by mitigating vulnerabilities before hackers can exploit them. To find these vulnerabilities, we run and nurture a bug bounty for a community of ethical hackers. We also have a managed vulnerability disclosure program for WordPress plugin creators to help them fix these vulnerabilities.

What we do

• We provide a SaaS solution to detect and virtually patch plugin vulnerabilities in websites built on open-source platforms such as WordPress;
• We run a community-driven gamified bug bounty program (Patchstack Alliance) to nurture and motivate independent security researchers;
• We maintain an open and free vulnerability database;
• We run a managed vulnerability disclosure platform (mVDP) to help plugin developers comply with emerging security guidelines and fix security vulnerabilities faster.
• We provide vulnerability intelligence to some of the biggest WordPress hosting companies;
• We provide professional code review and security auditing for WordPress plugin creators.

Who are we looking for?

As a Product Manager at Patchstack, you will play a critical role in defining, building, and optimizing our cybersecurity products. You will work closely with cross-functional teams—including engineering, design, sales, and marketing —to drive the development of security solutions that solve real-world problems for our customers.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of cybersecurity, open-source security, and product management, bringing innovative security solutions to existing and new markets while balancing user experience, business goals, and technical feasibility.
