Youtube: Reality Defender Wins RSA Most Innovative Startup The Product Manager Role. Reality Defender is looking for a Product Manager to turn world-class detection research into products that security, fraud, and identity teams can deploy and trust. You'll own the roadmap for our API-first detection platform — the APIs, SDKs, web app, and integrations that put our models into call centers, video meetings, onboarding flows, and content pipelines — working hand-in-hand with AI Research, Engineering, and our go-to-market team. This is a full-time role based at our NYC headquarters, reporting to VP of Product. Responsibilities include: Own the product roadmap for one of our deepfake detection products, prioritizing across customer needs, emerging deepfake threats, and technical feasibility — and making the tradeoffs explicit. Translate what enterprise and government customers need into clear requirements and shipped features. Partner with AI Research and the Red Team to turn model improvements and new threat findings into customer-facing capabilities, with clear success metrics for accuracy, latency, and adoption. Define and track the product metrics that matter (usage, activation, retention, detection performance in the field), and use them to decide what to build next. Support Sales and Solutions Engineering in strategic deals, security reviews, and customer validations, bringing product insight back to the roadmap. Partner with Marketing on positioning, launches, and competitive differentiation in a fast-moving category. Work with Engineering and Partnerships on platform integrations with communications, identity, and collaboration platforms. Help bring product requirements into compliance and procurement conversations with regulated and public-sector buyers. Who you are. 4+ years of product management experience, ideally on a technical B2B product such as an API, developer platform, or security tool. A track record of shipping ML or AI products, with enough technical fluency to work credibly with researchers and engineers on model tradeoffs (accuracy, false positives, latency, cost). Experience selling into or building for enterprise buyers, and comfort in customer conversations with technical and executive stakeholders. Strong product judgment: you can set priorities with incomplete information, say no clearly, and explain why. Excellent written communication — your specs, roadmaps, and updates are clear enough that people across the company act on them without a follow-up meeting. Experience in cybersecurity, fraud prevention, identity verification, or trust & safety. (nice to have) Familiarity with audio, video, or real-time communications technology (telephony, WebRTC, conferencing platforms). (nice to have) Experience selling to government or highly regulated customers, or at a Series A/B startup where scope regularly outpaces headcount. (nice to have) Within 12 months, you'll… Own a roadmap that measurably drives revenue, retention, and expansion. Have built a product development rhythm (discovery, prioritization, launch, measurement) that the broader team relies on. Be recognized internally and by key customers as the go-to owner for your product area. Be identifying the next set of product opportunities as the deepfake threat landscape evolves. What we offer.
