TL;DR · Staff Product Security Engineer

As a Staff Product Security Engineer, you will serve as a dedicated security partner for high-value products, owning the end-to-end security narrative and posture for your assigned portfolio. You will perform threat modeling, lead design reviews, and manage vulnerability remediation while integrating security into the release process rather than treating it as a final gate. The role involves identifying systemic risk patterns to build reusable frameworks and paved roads that address broad classes of risk at scale. You will work with complex distributed systems, cloud infrastructure including AWS, Azure, and GCP, and containerized environments like Docker and Kubernetes. Required expertise includes OWASP Top 10, SANS standards, SAML, OAuth/OIDC, and zero-trust mechanisms. You will also utilize tools such as Burp Suite and Kali Linux while researching emerging threats in AI/ML and agentic systems.

What you'll do

  • Act as the primary point of contact for high-value products to manage their security posture and communication.
  • Perform threat modeling and design reviews for major releases, platform developments, and new services.
  • Synthesize complex security signals into a curated list of actionable priorities for product teams.
  • Integrate security activities like penetration testing and vulnerability remediation into the standard release process.
  • Identify systemic risk patterns to build reusable security frameworks and "paved roads" at scale.
  • Provide technical leadership, mentorship, and knowledge sharing through tech talks and white papers.
  • Research emerging threats in AI/ML and agentic systems to contribute to the organization's roadmap.

What we're looking for

  • Hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
  • Possess 10+ years of experience in Application or Product Security.
  • Demonstrate a history of building end-to-end security solutions adopted across multiple engineering teams.
  • Prove ability to threat model complex, distributed, and AI/ML systems while making risk-based decisions.
  • Maintain solid knowledge of application architectures, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and containerized environments.
  • Possess broad knowledge of vulnerability classes (OWASP Top 10, SANS) and authentication mechanisms (SAML, OAuth/OIDC, zero-trust).
  • Perform security code reviews across multiple languages and stacks.
  • Utilize standard security tooling like Burp Suite and Kali Linux to build or customize tools when needed.
