📋 Description

• Build and run core security capabilities - Stand up and operate the foundations of our security stack: secure development, vulnerability management, cloud security, and security architecture. • Own our security tooling - Select, deploy, configure, and fine-tune tools across scanners and ensure they deliver actionable signals, not noise. • Embed security into engineering workflows - Partner with product and platform engineers to make “secure by default” the easiest path. Help design guardrails that support, not slow down, developer productivity. • Drive pragmatic vulnerability management - Triage and risk-assess vulnerabilities, shape remediation priorities with teams, and track progress so we’re focusing on what matters most. • Continuously improve how we operate - Refine processes, automate wherever possible, and make sure our security practices scale as the company, product, and customer base grow.

🎯 Requirements

• Solid senior experience - Typically 5+ years in security engineering, with hands-on, builder-style experience. • Startup or scale-up background is a strong plus. • Cloud security ownership - Demonstrated experience deploying and operating security controls in AWS. • Depth in key security domains - Comfortable taking the lead in at least one (ideally several) of Vulnerability Management programs, Secure SDLC, CI/CD security tooling pipeline integrations, Penetration Testing. • Developer-aware mindset - You think about the impact of controls on developer workflows and design solutions that engineers actually want to use. • Clear, confident communication - Able to translate complex risks, constraints, and trade-offs into language that resonates with engineers, leadership, and non-technical stakeholders. • Nice to Have OSCP or similar offensive/security certifications. • Experience preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or PCI audits.
