Tigera secures AI agents on any Kubernetes platform, from the kernel with eBPF. With Tigera Lynx, enterprises run AI agents in production and stay in control: Lynx discovers every agent, governs every call, contains any agent that steps out of line, and keeps a record of what each one did.
Tigera created Project Calico, which secures more than 8 million Kubernetes nodes every day, and the commercial Calico platform is trusted by Global 2000 enterprises including NVIDIA, Royal Bank of Canada, Chipotle, Bloomberg, and GoDaddy.

About Your RoleA once-in-a-decade shift is reshaping enterprise infrastructure. Enterprises are taking
AI applications and AI agents from pilot to production,
deploying autonomous agents that act on behalf of users, call tools and other agents, form delegation chains, and process untrusted input. Running this new generation of workloads at scale on Kubernetes places intense new demands on the network.
Tigera is meeting that moment on two fronts.
Calico
is evolving into the
L3/L4 networking and security foundation
purpose-built to connect and secure AI workloads and agents. Lynx, a unified control plane for Kubernetes-native AI agents, adds agent-aware control at the
kernel and L7 layers
discovering, authenticating, authorizing, and governing every agent action. These agents don’t behave like the workloads enterprise security stacks were built for and securing them has become one of the most urgent unsolved problems in the enterprise.
We are hiring a
Senior / Staff Product Manager
to help drive the strategy and evolution of the Tigera platform.



This is a senior role spanning strategy through execution: you will shape product direction, contribute to go-to-market, and partner directly with engineering, sales, marketing, and ecosystem partners to bring recent capabilities to market. You will take ownership of
key, high-impact areas within our flagship initiatives, with Lynx as the primary focus, and extending into the evolution of Calico as the
L3/L4 network and security layer for AI workloads and agents, You will be working alongside fellow product managers and company leadership, and taking on additional areas as the business grows.
This role is hybrid and will be based out of our office in Vancouver, British Columbia.
You Will Own:
Key areas of the product vision & roadmap
for Tigera’s flagship initiatives, owning specific, high-impact workstreams within Lynx’s kernel- and L7-layer control (for example, areas such as agent discovery, identity, authorization, runtime enforcement, or observability) and contributing to the evolution of Calico as the L3/L4 network and security layer that connects and secures AI workloads and agents.Competitive positioning
for the areas you own, across two fronts: the emerging AI agent security category, where you’ll help define the narrative for Lynx (“a unified control plane for Kubernetes-native AI agents,” “guardrails, not gates”);
and the Kubernetes networking and security market,



where Calico leads with platform value for connecting and securing AI workloads - unified networking, best-in-class microsegmentation, DNS policy, cluster-mesh, observability - rather than competing feature-for-feature at the dataplane layer.Go-to-market contribution
across both sales-led motions (sales enablement, crisp platform pitches, close partnership with sales on qualified opportunities) and partner-led motions with the ecosystem of identity (Entra ID, Okta, SPIFFE/SPIRE), service mesh (Istio), and platform and infrastructure partners.Customer discovery & validation
with enterprise accounts, including the banks and Global 2000 security teams already adopting Lynx - running structured interviews to pressure-test and falsify assumptions before committing engineering resources.Cross-functional execution
with engineering on scope and delivery, and with marketing on messaging discipline and campaigns that shape market perception.Messaging & positioning discipline
for building canonical positioning artifacts for your areas and helping drive consistency in how the product is described across the organization, to customers, and in the market.
You Have:
8+ years in product management, including senior/principal-level ownership of technical infrastructure or security products, with a track record of taking products from vision to GA and revenue.AI Fluency
- extensive knowledge of LLM, MCP, tool-calling, and AI infrastructure, such as LLM Gateway, Inference Gateway, A2A protocolKubernetes and cloud-native networking/security expertise
- network policy, microsegmentation, kernel-level enforcement (eBPF), zero-trust identity (OIDC, SPIFFE/SPIRE), and L7/service-mesh policy.S
