- Participate in the security on-call rotation to respond to and mitigate security incidents.
- Document security-relevant architectural decisions and ensure security considerations are integrated into system designs.
- Serve as a trusted advisor, offering web and mobile security expertise to enable engineering and product teams to make informed, confident decisions.
- Perform technical security assessments and reviews, research, uncover, and reproduce vulnerabilities, design secure protocols and systems, and write tests to drive architecture changes.
- Provide guidance and education to engineering and product teams on available security controls and their appropriate use to help prevent vulnerabilities.
- Partner closely with product and engineering teams to design solutions that are secure by default.
- Scale security efforts by integrating automation for the identification, prioritization, and remediation of vulnerabilities.
- Empower engineering teams through automation, security guidance, tooling, patterns, and training to scale security practices across the organization.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of hands-on experience in application security, securing cloud-based and containerized environments.
- Strong understanding of cybersecurity threats, vulnerabilities, and mitigations, with a proactive approach to embedding security throughout the product lifecycle.
- Deep expertise in secure design, threat modeling, offensive security, and risk reduction beyond compliance checklists.
- Experience with modern application stacks, security tooling, and DevSecOps pipelines, with a passion for security automation and pragmatic defenses.
- Working knowledge of one or more programming languages (preferably Python) and experience writing software that enhances security processes.
- Exceptional ability to distill complex security concepts into clear actions, driving alignment across engineering teams without direct authority.
- A collaborative mindset with a strong ability to build relationships, influence cross-functional teams, and lead high-impact security initiatives.
- Creative and strategic thinker who can holistically reduce risk, scale security through smart design, and bring clarity to ambiguous challenges.
- A track record of contributions to the security community (research, blogging, presentations, bug bounty) is a plus.
- Strong bias for action, ownership, and delivering measurable improvements to security posture.
