Product Manager - Platform

Bitwarden empowers enterprises, developers, and individuals to securely store and share sensitive data. With a transparent, open-source approach to password management, secrets management, and passwordless and passkey innovations, Bitwarden makes it easy for users to extend robust security practices across all online activities. Founded in 2016 with headquarters in Santa Barbara, California, Bitwarden is supported by a passionate global community of security experts and enthusiasts.

As Product Manager, Platform at Bitwarden, you will own the strategy and execution for deployment optionality: the shared capabilities that let Bitwarden behave consistently and securely whether a customer uses our cloud, a regional or government cloud, or their own servers.

You will be meticulous about how each Bitwarden app connects to and is configured for the right place, and about which behaviors are allowed to differ by setup, such as federal security standards (FedRAMP, FIPS), IT-managed device settings, and self-hosting constraints. You will partner with Engineering, Architecture, BRE, SRE, Security, and Design to turn initiatives into clear, shippable outcomes for product teams and customers.

You will partner with Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Implementation Engineering on how deployment flexibility wins public sector, regulated, and large enterprise deals, and how it meets their compliance requirements. You will use customer feedback, deployment and upgrade data, and competitive benchmarking to inform roadmap decisions, thinking deeply about both the self-hosted operator and the cloud customer.

This is an all-remote team and we’re looking for someone located in the U.S. with no preference for time zone. We do not offer visa sponsorship at this time.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the roadmap for the shared capabilities that let Bitwarden run across cloud, government cloud, and self-hosted setups, including how each app connects to and is configured for the right context

• Research, design and proposed professional services offerings that support customers with special deployment requirements, across cloud, government cloud, and self-hosted setups
• Drive cross-team initiatives such as the FedRAMP-compliant cloud and the move to a service oriented architecture, keeping scope, sequencing, and dependencies clear across Engineering, SRE, and product teams
• Analyze how competitive and adjacent password and identity vendors approach government, regulated, and self-hosted deployments, refine our competitive edge
• Model the relationship between deployment options and public sector wins, enterprise deal velocity, expansion ARR, and retention
• Define and monitor adoption metrics, such as customers by deployment type, upgrade success and lag, and feature parity gaps between setups
• Support Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Implementation Engineering on how deployment options map to customer compliance requirements, including RFP responses and deal-stage conversations
• Share progress, roadmap updates, and wins with leadership and cross-functional partners
• Use AI tools to accelerate spec writing, competitive analysis, data modeling, and rapid prototyping
