VP of Products & Platform

OPSWAT , a global leader in IT, OT , and ICS critical infrastructure cybersecurity, delivers an end-to-end platform that gives public and private sector organizations and enterprises the critical advantage needed to protect their complex networks, secure their devices, and ensure compliance. Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life. The Position: VP of Products Platform MetaDefender Core | Enterprise Shared Services | Platform Architecture | AI-First Operations Protecting the World's Critical Infrastructure Every MetaDefender product runs on a common foundation, this role's domain.

Requirements

But foundation is not an ambition - category is. " You will be expected to grow this into a business with its own gravity: a named market category that OPSWAT leads, not a feature that competes inside someone else's. This is also an AI-first mandate.

You will build a platform where agentic capability is native in the product, in operations, and in how the platform team itself works, and you will use AI as the primary lever to drive organizational change and adoption velocity across the company. This is not a maintenance role. It directly shapes how every product in the MetaDefender portfolio ships, deploys, and operates.

You will own the most horizontally impactful technology in the company; few platform roles touch this much surface area. Product leaders at OPSWAT stay close to the technology — you'll work alongside peers who read code, challenge architectures, and ship. What You'll Be Doing MetaDefender Core — Product Strategy Technical Direction MetaDefender Core is the center of OPSWAT's File Security ecosystem — Deep Content Disarm Reconstruction (CDR), multi-scanning across 30+ engines, file-based vulnerability assessment, dynamic analysis with next-gen sandbox, and many other layers, across billions of files for the world's most security-conscious organizations.

Own the technical vision for Core's evolution: modular multi-engine orchestration, processing throughput, format coverage, and API extensibility. Frame Core as the engine of File Security, not a scanner. Articulate at the platform level why protecting the complex enterprise file ecosystem (ingest, transfer, storage, collaboration, supply chain) requires layered, defense-in-depth file analysis, and why single-engine antivirus is structurally insufficient.

Drive strategy to serve new file modalities, archives, encrypted containers, firmware, ML/AI model files as the attack surface expands. Ensure Core's architecture enables adjacent products rather than constraining them. Shape the growth trajectory with a path toward full P L ownership as the role and platform mature.

Enterprise Shared Services — The Foundational Platform Layer This is the highest-leverage work at OPSWAT: the unified platform every mature MetaDefender product adopts for a consistent, enterprise-grade experience. Your mandate: make adoption a choice teams make willingly, not a mandate they resent. Shared Services spans the cross-cutting capabilities every product would otherwise rebuild — installation deployment (online, offline/air-gapped, headless, automated), identity access (SSO, RBAC, SAML/OIDC, federation), configuration policy , observability , reporting audit , HA/DR, and zero-downtime scale , and shared, brand-compatible, language-agnostic UI components.
