About the role
- Define and execute a multi-year product/security strategy and roadmap across AI, SaaS, cloud, and product lines; establish a durable operating rhythm.
- Operate, scale, and lead a product security organization (e.g., security architects, product security engineers, security champions enablement, AppSec tooling/program roles), including hiring, coaching, and performance management.
- Ensure security is integrated into agile delivery through developer security training, design/architecture reviews, threat modeling, security user stories, automated security testing, penetration testing, and audit readiness.
- Serve as a senior security advisor to engineering leadership; drive secure-by-design decisions for multi-tenant SaaS, APIs, identity, encryption, secrets, logging/monitoring, and tenant isolation.
- Own or co-own secure development policies/standards, release security criteria, and “definition of done” expectations (e.g., required SAST/DAST/SCA gates; pre-release validation).
- Define requirements for OSS and third-party components, including provenance, vulnerability monitoring, and secure acquisition/maintenance practices.
- Establish measurable outcomes and reporting frameworks to track program effectiveness (risk reduction, coverage, remediation speed, escaped defects, incident trends) and guide investment decisions.
- Partner with product engineering groups as trusted security counterparts across architecture, design, deployment, and runtime operations; influence backlogs and roadmaps without slowing delivery.
- Support customer security reviews, attestations, and compliance-driven requirements by translating expectations into practical engineering controls and evidence.
