Sysdig

Security Engineer

• Reporting to the CISO, you build security engineering for Sysdig, end to end, across the full code-to-cloud lifecycle. This is a senior leadership role on the Trust & Security team. You'll lead a small, high-leverage team of senior and staff security engineers. This team's technical direction will be set by you, and you'll grow it through hiring and the development of senior talent. Additionally, you'll own the security-engineering roadmap, standards, and budget.
• Set functional strategy with the CISO and senior leadership. Translate security strategy into operational plans and policy, cascade it across the function, and act as the final decision-maker for security-engineering standards, tooling, and practices.
• Bring an AI-first mindset to security delivery. Use AI to deliver security capabilities that help engineering build better systems and write better code.
• Make AI-assisted and agent-driven development safe across the org, use AI agents to scale security work itself, and defend the AI agents and workloads we run in production as first-class attack surface — work where the problems aren't clearly defined and established principles don't fully apply.
• Partner with product. Go beyond feedback, bring thoughtful, hands-on guidance to the roadmap, using new capabilities first internally, then helping mature both our core cloud defense platform and our new AI workload protection. You'll be a true product partner, not just an internal user.
• Represent security with executives and customers. Engage senior leadership and major customers on security matters of significance, reconcile diverse stakeholder views to drive outcomes, and serve as a key leader within the Trust & Security function.
• Turn compliance into assurance. We maintain ISO 27001, ISO 27701, and SOC 2 Type II — but that's the floor. Your aim is continuous assurance of controls that not only meet the needs of the auditor but, more importantly, protect the trust of the customer.
• Model how we lead. Champion Sysdig's values — Trust in the Team, Love our Customers, Dig Deeper — and act as a change catalyst who builds a culture of trust, ownership, and continuous improvement.
