  • Own the strategic Security & Privacy roadmap for the Multi-Product Platform division across a 3–5 year horizon by partnering with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to define incremental milestones that de-risk execution and unlock tangible business value at each stage.
  • Shape technical direction by applying pragmatic security principles and AI-native strategies, ensuring architectural decisions balance robust protection with speed-to-market and evolving business constraints.

  • Ability to translate business objectives into actionable technical plans with clear sequencing, dependencies, and success criteria that keep execution aligned with strategic intent.
  • Demonstrated history of owning end-to-end delivery of complex projects — navigating ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and consistently shipping high-quality results on time and on-spec across multiple teams and stakeholders.
  • Proficiency in Golang and Python programming languages.
Benefits
  • Actual compensation will be determined based on several non-discriminatory factors including skills, experience, qualifications, and geographic location.
