About this role
What you'll do
- Own product definition end to end: turn Qrypt's technology (quantum random number generation, our post-quantum cipher, entropy-as-a-service) into a coherent, orderable set of products.
- Run customer and market discovery: talk to prospects, customers, and partners to understand real problems, buying criteria, and where Qrypt wins.
- Define packaging and positioning: decide what each offering includes, who it's for, and how it's differentiated.
- Write clear product requirements and specs, and prioritize a roadmap in partnership with engineering and product leadership.
- Serve as the connective tissue between market needs and engineering execution, making tradeoff calls and keeping scope honest.
- Support go-to-market: arm sales with the language, materials, and framing to sell the offerings you define.
- Build the product practice — discovery cadence, requirements standards, prioritization — as an early product hire.
What you'll need
- 7+ years in product management, including senior ownership of a technical B2B product line.
- Deep-tech or security-native background : direct experience with cybersecurity, cryptography, post-quantum encryption, or security infrastructure. You can hold a credible conversation with both cryptographers and enterprise buyers.
- A track record of taking products from definition through launch, including packaging and positioning decisions ("0-to-1" or new-offering work, not just backlog grooming).
- Strong customer discovery skills and the judgment to translate messy market input into clear product direction.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; able to align engineers, leadership, and sales.
- Comfortable being an early, hands-on product hire building the function as you go.
- Fluency with AI and agent-assisted workflows. Working with AI tools is core to how we operate at Qrypt, and it is expected of everyone here.
- Must be authorized to work in the United States. Qrypt does not provide visa sponsorship for this role.
Nice to have
- Experience with enterprise networking, cloud infrastructure, or developer-facing/API products.
- Familiarity with security compliance and certification (e.g., FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria) and how it shapes enterprise buying.
- Experience selling into regulated or high-assurance markets (defense, finance, telecom, critical infrastructure).
