  • Build and maintain developer‑focused documentation, playbooks, and training programs that raise security awareness and empower teams to take ownership of secure coding practices.
  • Evaluate and integrate modern security technologies, including the use of AI‑driven solutions for vulnerability detection, anomaly detection, and automated incident response.
  • Engage with third‑party vendors, security auditors, and cloud partners to optimize security capabilities and negotiate favorable terms for tools and services.
  • Collaborate with product, engineering, and operations teams to balance security, usability, and speed of delivery.
  • Serve as a trusted advisor and mentor, fostering a culture of ownership, accountability, and excellence in security across all engineering teams.
  • Adapt security processes and best practices to new and disruptive technologies, i.e., AI.

Here’s What You Need

  • Strong coding and development skills, with a broad understanding of technology, including algorithms, data structures, networking, and persistence technologies.
  • Experience building automation into CI / CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) to enforce security controls.
  • Deep understanding of secure software development practices, vulnerability management, and incident response.
  • Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex security concepts for developers, leadership, and business stakeholders.
  • A proven track record of leading by example, solving complex problems, and mentoring engineers.
