Develop a comprehensive security roadmap that addresses current and future threats, including cloud security, application security, and incident response.
Directly implement half of the roadmap yourself with changes from GitHub Actions to Terraform to Python; while delegating the other half to other engineering teams. Drive execution of the engineering roadmap by personally delivering key features and infrastructure improvements (spanning GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Python), while coordinating and delegating the remaining initiatives to other engineering teams to ensure end-to-end delivery.
Own our compliance processes end-to-end, including SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, HIPAA (and more)—by defining and updating controls, supplying evidence during audits, etc.
Prepare for and lead our incident response efforts, including developing and testing incident response plans, and coordinating the response to security incidents; work with other engineers to shift left.
