From modern cloud-native architectures to cutting-edge AI agent ecosystems, our technology safeguards over 1 million Kubernetes clusters across multicloud and hybrid environments. Trusted by world-class innovation leaders—including NVIDIA, Royal Bank of Canada, Bloomberg, Chipotle, GoDaddy, and Upwork—we empower enterprises to build, scale, and innovate with AI safely and without compromise.

At Tigera, our customers are the heroes of our story. We aim high, move fast, foster continuous learning, and build a high-trust, highly collaborative environment where every voice shapes the future of AI security. If you are looking to help make a substantial impact, and our values and products align with your vision of your career growth, we want to hear from you!

About Your Role

A 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 new 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.

Vancouver Area Salary Range: CAD $130,000 - $180,000 (inclu bonus)

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
