TL;DR · Cyber Security Principal

The Cyber Security Principal serves as a security leader and force multiplier embedded within the development organization. This role involves solving complex security problems by building systems that prevent vulnerabilities rather than just finding individual bugs. Key responsibilities include driving security strategy, leading threat modeling for large-scale systems, conducting architectural design reviews, and implementing security automation strategies. The successful candidate will mentor engineers, influence cross-functional technical decisions, and establish secure design patterns. Required technical skills include expert proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, Go, or C#, along with experience in multi-cloud environments like AWS, Azure, and GCP. Candidates must possess deep expertise in secure architecture, risk frameworks, and security controls to address systemic issues across the entire product portfolio.

What you'll do

  • Drive the security strategy for your product area and solve broad, systemic security issues.
  • Lead and facilitate threat modeling for large-scale, complex systems while teaching development teams to do the same.
  • Review system architecture and design to identify subtle security flaws and propose secure design patterns.
  • Design, build, and implement the security automation strategy and integrate new security tools for the portfolio.
  • Mentor product security and development engineers on security best practices, design, and architecture.
  • Act as a subject matter expert to influence cross-functional technical and architectural decisions.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent formal training in computer science, information systems, or a related field.
  • At least five years of experience in IT information security.
  • Skills in IT security, infrastructure, and experience with security and risk frameworks, standards, and best practices.
  • Strong technical and consulting skills, project management capability, and strong communication skills.
  • 3-5+ years in a dedicated application, product, or offensive security leadership role (preferred).
  • Expert-level proficiency in one or more programming languages such as Python, Java, Go, or C# (preferred).
  • Deep practical expertise in secure architecture, threat modeling, and building security automation (preferred).
  • Advanced security certifications such as OSCP, OSWE, GWAPT, or CISSP (preferred).
