  • Design and implement automation that proactively detects, prevents, and mitigates vulnerabilities within CI / CD pipelines and developer workflows.
  • Partner with platform and product engineering teams to embed security into centralized frameworks, ensuring secure defaults and reusable patterns.
  • Define and enforce DevSecOps best practices, driving the integration of security tools, feedback loops, and continuous improvement processes.
  • Conduct technical reviews and provide architectural oversight to ensure applications and infrastructure are secure, resilient, and compliant with industry standards (SOC 2, PCI, GDPR, etc.).
  • 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

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
  • 12+ years of experience in software development, with a strong background in application security, cloud security, and DevSecOps practices.
  • Proven expertise with AWS (IAM, KMS, WAF, GuardDuty, etc.), Infrastructure as Code (CDK / CloudFormation / Terraform), TypeScript, and Java.
  • 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.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for application security or platform security within an enterprise SaaS environment.
  • Familiarity with cloud security strategy and architecture, particularly on AWS.
  • Strong knowledge of compliance and regulatory frameworks (e.g., SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS).
  • Experience with threat modeling, penetration testing, and secure design reviews.
  • Ability to make long‑term security strategy decisions (4‑10 years) that align with organizational growth and evolving threat landscapes.
  • Prior experience conducting security due diligence and integration efforts during mergers and acquisitions.
