[Hiring] Product Security Specialist II @Safe Software

Role Description

Play a key role in shaping Safe Software's product security program - from strengthening security practices within the software development lifecycle and supporting the AI governance program that enables developers to safely maximize their use of AI tools, to working directly with customers and partners on their security needs. This role requires both a strong technical foundation in cybersecurity and the ability to communicate clearly with audiences ranging from engineers to customers and partners.

What You'll Be Doing

• Stakeholder Enablement and Communication: Work directly with developers, product management, customer experience teams, customers, and partners - explaining security concepts for each audience, handling security questionnaires and assessments, and participating in customer and partner driven security meetings.
• Security Policy and Standards: Contribute to security policies across product security domains, help maintain the risk register, and support compliance monitoring to verify that policies are followed.
• Supply Chain Security: Conduct security and compliance reviews of third-party libraries and vendor components, including licensing and known risk signals.
• AI Security and Governance: Support Safe's AI governance program for developers by contributing to policies and standards for AI-assisted development, monitoring emerging AI security risks, and assisting with training and awareness across the Engineering organization.
• Vulnerability Disclosure: Support the product security vulnerability disclosure process, including CVE registration, security advisory drafting, and contributing to postmortems and lessons-learned reviews.
• Security for Non-Engineering Apps and Services: Own ongoing security coverage for apps and services developed outside of core Engineering, including publicly accessible services (e.g., websites and APIs), internal tools, IT-developed scripts, and AI agents built for internal use.
• Metrics and Reporting: Contribute to security KPI tracking, governance dashboards, and reporting for leadership and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in product security, application security, or a closely related cybersecurity role.
• A strong technical background in cybersecurity, including solid understanding of common vulnerability classes, secure development practices, and security tooling (e.g., OWASP Top 10, SAST, DAST, SCA).
• Demonstrated ability to communicate security concepts clearly to stakeholders of varying technical backgrounds - from developers to customers who may have no security expertise.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret noisy or incomplete data.
• Proficiency in Python for automation, tooling, or analysis.
• Experience with Agentic AI.
• A degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field - or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2 or ISO 27001.
• Security certifications (e.g., CISSP, CISM, or similar).
• Familiarity with and/or experience using and supporting FME in production environments.
