The Position
A message from the NetWall leadership team:
The Technical Product Manager, Network Segmentation role is a cornerstone function within OPSWAT’s MetaDefender NetWall product line—our flagship network security platform and one of the fastest-growing businesses at OPSWAT, with more than 100% year-over-year growth. To support this growth and the expanding scope of the platform, we are building a team of Technical Product Managers focused on different aspects of NetWall’s architecture, use cases, and customer environments.
MetaDefender NetWall delivers advanced network segmentation and cross-domain security solutions for critical infrastructure environments where uptime, safety, and security are inseparable. Our customers operate power grids, transportation systems, industrial plants, defense networks, and other environments where security decisions have real-world physical consequences.
These roles sit at the intersection of product vision, deep technical architecture, and execution, working closely with both software and hardware engineering teams. Our Technical Product Managers partner with architects and engineers across firmware, embedded systems, networking stacks, backend services, APIs, and management platforms—shaping solutions that combine purpose-built hardware with secure, scalable software.
As networks converge, threats evolve, and regulatory and operational pressures increase, the scope and complexity of NetWall continue to expand. New customer requirements, new deployment models, and new technologies continuously shape the roadmap. Supporting this pace requires technically grounded product leaders who can operate close to the architecture—across software and hardware—while maintaining a clear view of long-term strategy.
If you are driven by building security platforms that operate at the edge of feasibility—and want your work to directly support the protection of critical infrastructure worldwide—this role is a critical part of OPSWAT’s long-term strategy and mission.
