• Monitor supply chain security threats and vulnerabilities impacting HashiCorp products and services, develop mitigations, and assess / communicate associated risks to stakeholders.
• Serve as subject matter expert (SME) on multiple supply chain and application security areas (e.g., ASPM, SCA, SAST, DAST, container security, etc.)
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of security solutions across the product life‑cycle, such as standalone security tools, CI / CD pipeline integrations, and vulnerability management systems.
• Research emerging supply chain attack vectors and techniques, helping identify potential threats to HashiCorp's products.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to implement security standards and participate in secure code reviews.

The product security supply chain and application security team is composed of security engineers working to ensure HashiCorp delivers secure software to its customers. We provide tools and services that support product engineering teams at HashiCorp, embedding security into the development processes. We are primarily responsible for security scanning, secure code review, application security posture management, and contributing to vulnerability management across our entire product portfolio.

We're looking for a candidate with strong written and verbal communication skills, knowledge of supply chain and application security topics, who brings a pragmatic approach to security, and has the ability to empathize with engineers and product managers across the company.

Please note, as communication is a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate. In your cover letter, describe why you're interested in working at HashiCorp, and what draws you to this role in particular.
