If you already have a Candidate Account, please Sign-In before you apply. Broadcom's Application Networking and Security (ANS) division delivers solutions for Zero Trust Lateral Security and Modern Load Balancing for enterprise environments. We enable a Cloud operating model with self-service and automation for security and software defined load balancer capabilities for VMs, bare-metal, and container workloads running on VMware VCF Private Cloud. As a Technical Product Manager (P4) , you are the technical bridge between product vision and implementation. Your mission is to ensure that our Distributed Firewall, Gateway Firewall, and Advanced Threat Prevention (ATP) capabilities are architecturally sound, operationally efficient, and evangelized across the global ecosystem. Based in our Palo Alto HQ, you will act as the "Technical Truth" for the product. Working with the ANS Product Management team, you will be the technical authority who reviews feature feasibility, monitors engineering execution, and creates prescriptive designs and high-level technical content to enable customers and partners to succeed. Core Responsibilities 1. Feature Execution & Operational Excellence Technical Review & Refinement: Partner with PMs to review feature definitions. Provide the technical "sanity check" on requirements to ensure they align with VCF architectural standards. Engineering Alignment: Act as the primary PM interface for Engineering during development. Review technical implementations and provide feedback on trade-offs to ensure features are built for scale and ease of troubleshooting. Operational Strategy: Drive the strategy for "Firewall Operations"—the features and workflows (logging, lifecycle, telemetry) that allow customers to manage vDefend at scale. 2. Prescriptive Design & Solution Architecture Validated Solutions: Drive the creation of Prescriptive Designs and validated solutions. Define exactly how Distributed and Gateway firewalls should be architected to work in harmony for a zero-trust posture. Full-Stack Integration: Ensure Advanced Threat Prevention (IDS/IPS, Malware, NTA) is integrated into the core firewall fabric and the broader VCF stack. 3. Content Creation & Technical Evangelization Solution-Based Content: Author high-fidelity technical content including Reference Architectures, Use-Case Guides, and Best Practices blogs. Technical Evangelization: Represent the vDefend portfolio at industry conferences (e.g., VMware Explore), regional workshops, and executive briefings as the "face" of the technology. Stakeholder Enablement: Design and deliver technical training for internal teams (Global Support, SAs, Professional Services), ensuring they are ready to deploy and support new designs on Day 1. Qualifications & Skills Experience & Education: BS or MS in Computer Science or a related technical field. Minimum of 8–10 years in a high-level technical role (TPM, Architect, or Senior Systems Engineer) with a focus on Network Security. Security & Network Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of L2–L7 stateful firewalls, Distributed vs. Gateway architectures, and networking patterns. Design & Operational Authority: Proven ability to create complex Prescriptive Designs and a deep understanding of the SecOps lifecycle (policy provisioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting). Industry Certifications: High-level certifications such as VCDX, CCIE (Security), or CISSP are strongly preferred as a benchmark for architectural authority. Automation Proficiency: Hands-on experience with Terraform, Ansible, or Python. Demonstrated ability to realize security designs through "Security-as-Code." Leadership & Communication: Exceptional English fluency with the ability to influence global stakeholders. As a Staff TPM, you are expected to Bridge the Gap: Ensure there is zero "lost in translation" between what the PM describes, what Engineering builds, and what the customer experiences. Architect the "Golden Path": Your success is measured by the stability of our validated designs and the ease with which customers can operationalize the vDefend suite.
