About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Provide direct line management for a team of security engineers (approximately 5–6), focusing on growth and mentorship, psychological safety, operational excellence, and measurable risk reduction.
Work closely with product owners, engineering managers, and technical leads to embed security into planning and delivery, including threat modeling, security requirements, and secure design reviews.
Partner with engineering leaders, architects, and delivery teams to define and evolve security architecture standards, reference designs, and secure-by-default patterns across the organization.
Define, implement, and track security metrics (e.g., vulnerability SLAs, coverage of security testing, time-to-remediate, and control adoption) to monitor and improve security outcomes.
Own and evolve cloud security posture practices, including identity and access management, network segmentation, secrets management, and configuration baselines, in partnership with infrastructure and platform teams.
Stay abreast of the threat landscape, emerging vulnerabilities, and security engineering trends; translate them into pragmatic controls and engineering improvements.
Provide timely, actionable feedback and coaching; create growth plans that build security engineering depth and leadership capability.
Drive security automation across the SDLC, including SAST/DAST, dependency scanning (SCA), secrets scanning, and infrastructure-as-code scanning.
Lead a pragmatic application security and vulnerability management program: triage findings, set remediation priorities with engineering, and track SLA performance.
