Lead security architecture and design reviews across applications, infrastructure, and integrations to ensure secure patterns are embedded early in the development lifecycle.
Conduct and coordinate penetration testing, threat modeling, and security reviews for critical services, new features, and third-party integrations.
Design and implement security automation within CI/CD pipelines to ensure secure coding practices and infrastructure policies are enforced at scale.
Partner with infrastructure and DevOps teams to secure cloud platforms (AWS) and improve identity, network, and workload security.
Build security observability and detection capabilities, including security data pipelines, SIEM integrations, and threat intelligence signals.
Think like an attacker—identify systemic weaknesses and design controls that protect against entire classes of attacks, not just individual vulnerabilities.
Work closely with developers to improve security practices through secure architecture guidance, code review support, and developer enablement.
Lead incident response investigations and help build processes for identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security incidents.
Own and evolve the bug bounty program, including triage, response processes, and improvements to vulnerability management workflows.
Develop security standards, playbooks, and training programs that make security practices easier for engineering teams to adopt.
Help define the security roadmap, identifying initiatives that improve both risk posture and operational efficiency.

Requirements

Deep understanding of application security, cloud security, and modern threat landscapes, including common vulnerabilities and attack techniques (OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, etc.)
Strong software engineering background with experience writing production-grade code or automation (Python, Typescript, or similar)
Hands-on experience securing cloud-native infrastructure, especially AWS, including IAM, networking, and containerized workloads.
Experience building or integrating DevSecOps pipelines, including SAST, DAST, IaC scanning, and container security tooling.
Experience designing security telemetry pipelines using tools such as SIEM platforms, observability systems, or data lakes.
Experience running or participating in penetration testing, threat modeling, or architectural security reviews.
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, DevOps, and product teams to drive secure design decisions.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to clearly explain complex security risks and trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Strong understanding of SaaS architectures, distributed systems, and internet-facing platforms.
Experience developing security frameworks aligned with CIS benchmarks, NIST, or SOC2 / PCI / HIPAA compliance requirements.
Experience building security detections, threat intelligence pipelines, or runtime protection mechanisms.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container security, and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible).
