Security Engineer

• Lead Test Security & Platform Defense Product Strategy (30%)
• Own the end-to-end product strategy and roadmap for test security and platform defense across the digital assessment platform.
• Define priorities based on assessment risk, threat intelligence, program needs, and platform constraints, ensuring a unified approach across current and future programs.
• Synthesize inputs from Test Security, Platform Threat Intelligence, field observations, and engineering into clear problem statements, prioritization options, and actionable roadmap proposals.
• Proactively identify new problem spaces and solution opportunities, challenging assumptions and advancing innovative approaches to assessment protection.
• Maintain a forward-looking roadmap that evolves as threats, business needs, and technology change.
• Establish a shared strategic narrative that aligns security, platform, and program leaders around goals, sequencing, and outcomes.
• Coordinate Cross-Domain Execution (40%)
• Translate product strategy into actionable initiatives implemented across multiple product domains and engineering teams.
• Partner with product management leaders to integrate test security and platform defense solutions into domain roadmaps, align sequencing and dependencies across initiatives, and establish consistent security patterns, standards, and platform capabilities.
• Engage program VPs as business owners to ensure solutions protect assessment integrity while supporting program-specific requirements and operational realities.
• Surface prioritization conflicts and decision points, presenting structured options, risks, and delivery implications to Test Security and Technology, Program, and Product leadership.
• Define shared success metrics so progress is measured holistically across teams, not in isolation.
• Own and Deliver Critical Security Capabilities (15%)
• When appropriate, directly own delivery for specific test security or platform defense capabilities, acting as a hands-on PM/PO for deeply technical engineering teams (e.g., secure client or related components).
• Translate complex technical and security requirements into clear backlog priorities, delivery plans, and acceptance criteria.
• Stay close to delivery to ensure strategy is grounded in execution realities and technical constraints.
• Communicate Risk, Tradeoffs, and Impact (15%)
• Communicate clearly and responsibly with senior leadership on security posture, emerging risks, progress against strategy, and key tradeoffs.
• Translate highly technical, sensitive, or confidential information into appropriate-level messaging tailored to the audience, maintaining discretion at all times.
• Build shared understanding and confidence across product, security, and program leadership through clear narratives, recommendations, and decision framing.
• Serve as a trusted voice on test security and platform defense, particularly in moments of ambiguity, risk, or emerging threat response.
