TL;DR · Security Guardian VP

The Security Guardian -VP serves as a strategic security guardian for engineering, platform, and business teams. This role acts as the first line of defense, proactively reducing technical security risk through deep engagement with product teams. You will conduct hands-on security assessments using threat modeling, architecture reviews, and vulnerability analysis to identify design flaws, cloud misconfigurations, and insecure dependencies. Responsibilities include designing embedded security controls for identity, cryptography, and network isolation across cloud and distributed environments. You will utilize DevSecOps principles, automated security testing, and secure CI/CD pipelines. Required expertise includes product security, smart contract and blockchain security, multi-cloud security, Agentic AI security, and software supply-chain security. You must apply an attacker-mindset to identify weaknesses in network security, data protection, and cryptography within financial services.

What you'll do

  • Conduct hands-on security assessments using threat modeling, architecture reviews, and vulnerability analysis to identify design flaws.
  • Design and recommend security controls for identity, cryptography, network isolation, and runtime enforcement across cloud environments.
  • Validate that security controls are correctly implemented and effective in production based on real-world threat models.
  • Influence engineering design decisions early to ensure systems are built with secure defaults rather than retrofitted controls.
  • Provide technically grounded security guidance to senior leadership regarding complex tradeoffs and mitigation strategies.
  • Embed security into iterative delivery through DevSecOps, automated testing, and secure CI/CD pipelines.
  • Use attacker-mindset analysis to proactively identify and remediate weaknesses in network, platform, and data protection.

What we're looking for

  • At least 7+ years of progressive cybersecurity experience with a focus on Product and Cloud security.
  • At least 3+ years of experience within financial services.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
  • Demonstrate deep, hands-on expertise in at least three advanced security domains, such as product security, multi-cloud security, or threat modeling.
  • Proven experience collaborating with engineering teams in an embedded security engagement model.
  • Experience in Agentic AI security and smart contract security (preferred).
  • AWS or Azure Cloud Security certification (preferred).
  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or GIAC (preferred).
