  • Drive adoption of best practices in secure coding, vulnerability management, and runtime protection
  • Foster a culture of shared responsibility for security across engineering teams
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives to meet compliance and audit requirements with minimal friction
Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with tools such as SAST/DAST scanners, container/image security platforms, IaC security, and secrets management systems (e.g., Vault, SOPS)
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, PCI-DSS) and integrating security into engineering workflows
  • Proven success driving security automation and reducing friction in development and deployment workflows
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills with the ability to influence across engineering, product, and compliance teams
