The enterprise branch is changing fast. Applications are moving to the cloud, users are distributed, networks are more dynamic, and IT teams are being asked to manage more complexity with less operational overhead. Our Product Management team is building the networking platform that connects and secures those environments  are looking for a Principal Product Manager who can help define what the modern branch should look like — from routing and path selection to switching, Wi‑Fi, automation, APIs, and AI‑assisted operations.

In this role, you will own critical capabilities across our SD‑WAN and SASE branch platform, shaping how enterprise customers deploy, operate, and troubleshoot branch networks globally. You will work at the intersection of deep networking technology and product experience: translating complex capabilities such as BGP, OSPF, traffic steering, switching, and Wi‑Fi into products that are easier to configure, automate, visualize, and operate.

This is an opportunity to influence both the underlying networking architecture and the experience customers have managing it — partnering closely with Engineering, UX, field teams, and enterprise customers to define the next generation of branch networking.

Shape the future of the enterprise branch — Define and execute the roadmap for core SD‑WAN and branch networking capabilities, including BGP, OSPF, path monitoring, dynamic traffic steering, switching, Wi‑Fi, and related branch infrastructure.

Make complex networking easier to operate — Design end‑to‑end workflows that help network and IT teams deploy, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot branch environments at scale.

Advance API‑first networking — Partner with Engineering to deliver robust RESTful APIs, automation capabilities, and developer‑ready interfaces for routing, SD‑WAN, and branch configuration.

Reimagine the network management experience — Collaborate with UX/UI teams to transform complex routing tables, topology views, configuration workflows, and network health data into clear, actionable experiences.

Bring AI into network operations — Identify practical opportunities to use AI and machine learning for root‑cause analysis, anomaly detection, alert reduction, guided troubleshooting, and operational automation.

Drive cross‑functional product execution — Partner across Product, Engineering, UX, Support, and platform teams to ensure branch capabilities align with the broader SASE architecture.
