TL;DR · Security Adoption Engineer

As a Security Adoption Engineer, you will join the security product adoption team to bridge the gap between internal engineering teams and available security tools. You will manage a high-volume portfolio of concurrent engagements, conducting discovery calls to understand various architectures and creating tailored deployment plans for hundreds of internal teams. Your daily work involves identifying friction points and collaborating with product engineering teams to improve documentation, onboarding flows, and overall tool usability. To succeed, you must possess technical fluency in server-side systems, DevOps practices, Linux/Unix environments, bash scripting, Git, and configuration management. You will serve as a credible technical point of contact to resolve blockers and translate complex capabilities into actionable steps. The role focuses on solving the challenge of scaling security tool adoption across a large organization by creating a repeatable, self-service motion for internal users.

What you'll do

  • Manage a high-volume portfolio of concurrent engagements with hundreds of internal engineering teams.
  • Lead discovery calls to understand team architectures, security postures, and specific adoption blockers.
  • Create tailored deployment plans that translate product capabilities into actionable steps for different environments.
  • Identify recurring friction points and work with product engineers to improve tooling and documentation.
  • Act as a technical point of contact capable of communicating complex concepts to both SREs and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Drive the transition toward self-service adoption by identifying and eliminating manual touchpoints in the workflow.
  • Track engagement progress across teams and surface systemic issues for escalation or resolution.
  • Help define and refine the scalable playbook for security product adoption across the organization.

What we're looking for

  • Experience in systems administration, DevOps, site reliability engineering, or production services roles.
  • Practical familiarity with Linux/Unix environments and shell scripting (bash).
  • Proficiency with infrastructure tooling, configuration management, deployment pipelines, and version control (Git).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills to lead meetings and produce clear plans.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple workstreams independently while maintaining attention to detail.
  • Background in a customer-facing technical role such as technical account management or solutions engineering (preferred).
  • Experience working across many teams simultaneously in consulting, enablement, or platform capacities (preferred).
  • Familiarity with security concepts like access control, credential management, and secrets handling (preferred).
