  • Conduct secure design and architecture reviews and threat modeling. Identify and prioritize risks, attack surfaces, and vulnerabilities. 

  • Perform manual and automated security code reviews of source code changes and advise developers on remediating vulnerabilities and following secure coding practices.

  • Oversee penetration testing including running tests and completing reports on key assets prior to launch, managing 3rd party testing programs, and working with engineering to track and confirm all issues are addressed in a timely manner. 

  • Manage Protect AI’s vulnerability management program. Triage and prioritize vulnerabilities from scans, audits, and bug bounty submissions. Track remediation and validate fixes. 

  • Oversee Protect AI's bug bounty program. Set scope, triage submissions, coordinate disclosure with engineering teams, and reward bounties. Coordinate with our huntr bug bounty platform team and foster positive relationships with the ethical hacker community. 

  • Research and recommend security tools and technologies to strengthen defenses against emerging threats. 

  • Develop and document secure development policies, standards, and response playbooks. Conduct engineering focused security awareness training for engineers. 

Qualifications:

  1. Have 5+ years of hands-on experience in application and infrastructure security, including securing cloud-based and containerized environments. 

  2. Have empathy, collaboration skills, and a learning mindset to work cross-functionally with engineers of all levels to build security into the product life cycle. 

  3. Have hands-on experience with application testing tools (SAST, DAST, IAST) and penetration testing suites.

  4. Hands-on technical expertise securing complex cloud environments and microservices architectures leveraging technologies like Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS.

  6. Possess broad security knowledge to connect the dots across domains and identify holistic ways to lower the overall threat surface. 

  7. Have the ability to distill complex security concepts into clear actions and drive consensus without direct authority. 

  8. Have a proactive mindset to thread security throughout the product lifecycle through activities like threat modeling, secure code review, and education. 

  9. Have strong grasp of offensive security to anticipate risks from an adversary's perspective, not just check compliance boxes. 

  10. Have experience with modern application stacks, infrastructure, and security tools to implement pragmatic defenses. 

  11. Are passionate for security fundamentals like least privilege, defense-in-depth, and eliminating complexity.

  12. AI/ML knowledge is a big plus.
