VP of Products & Platform. Every Meta Defender product runs on a common foundation which is this role’s domain. The VP of Platform will transform it into the definitive substrate that every product team builds on top of it, every customer deploys with confidence, and every enterprise buyer trusts to meet their most demanding requirements.

This is a high-impact, build-focused role that directly shapes how every product in the Meta Defender portfolio is designed, deployed, and operated. You’ll own some of the most horizontally influential technology in the company that few platform roles offer this level of visibility and reach.

At OPSWAT, product leaders stay deeply connected to technology. You’ll collaborate with peers who engage in code-level discussions, thoughtfully challenge architectural decisions, and take pride in delivering high-quality products.

Meta Defender Core — Product Strategy & Technical Direction

Meta Defender Core is at the center of OPSWAT’s file security ecosystem — performing Deep Content Disarm & Reconstruction (CDR), multi-scanning, file-based vulnerability assessment, dynamic analysis with next-gen sandbox and many other layers of technologies across billions of files for the world’s most security-conscious organizations.

• Own the technical vision for Core’s evolution: modular design for supporting multi-engine orchestration, processing throughput, format coverage, and API extensibility.
• Drive the product strategy to serve growing file analysis demands across new modalities — archives, encrypted containers, firmware, ML model files.
• Understand Core’s role as the nucleus of the Meta Defender ecosystem and ensure its architecture enables, rather than constraints, adjacent products.
• Shape the growth trajectory with a path toward full P&L ownership as the role and platform mature.

This is the highest-leverage work erprise Shared Services is the unified platform that every mature Meta Defender product adopts to deliver a consistent, enterprise-grade experience. Your mandate: make this platform so compelling that product teams choose to adopt it.

• Installer & Deployment: Unified installation framework supporting online, offline/airgapped, headless, and automated deployment scenarios.
• Configuration & Policy Management: Centralized configuration, policy engines, and tenant-aware settings across the product portfolio.
• Identity & Access: SSO, RBAC, SAML/OIDC integration, and enterprise identity federation.
• Notifications & Reporting: Shared notification framework, audit logging, scheduled and ad-hoc reporting.
• Observability: Telemetry, health monitoring, and operational dashboards.
• Scalability & Architecture: Horizontal scaling patterns, zero-downtime upgrades, HA/DR design, and performance benchmarking.
• Internal Adoption: Build a developer experience so compelling that peer PMs and their engineering teams actively want to integrate. Evangelize, document, support, and iterate.
• UI framework: Build and maintain brand-compatible, language-agnostic UI components so that other teams will not need to reimplement their own

OPSWAT’s customers operate in some of the most constrained and regulated environments on Earth. This role requires deep understanding of how enterprise software is deployed, operated, and maintained:

• On-Premises: Traditional server deployments, both internet-connected and fully air-gapped, across Windows and Linux.
• Cloud & IaaS: AWS, Azure, GCP deployment models including marketplace offerings,…
