Objectives and Responsibilities

• Strategic Leadership: Define, build, and lead the vision, roadmap, and operating model for the company’s Product Security function, acting as the primary trusted advisor to the CISO, Product, and Engineering leadership.

• Secure Development (SSDLC): Deeply embed security-by-design into the engineering lifecycle. Lead threat modeling, secure design reviews, and architectural risk assessments while partnering with Engineering to enforce secure coding and CI/CD pipeline security gates.

• Cloud & Platform Fortification: Influence cloud and platform architecture to guarantee system resilience, strict network segmentation, least privilege access, and robust defense-in-depth strategies.

• Risk & Vulnerability Management: Lead product-level risk identification and own the vulnerability management lifecycle for product code, APIs, cloud services, and embedded components, overseeing penetration testing and remediation tracking.

• Go-To-Market Enablement: Partner closely with GRC, Sales, and RevOps to crush RFPs, RFIs, and customer security reviews. Act as a technical authority in customer-facing discussions, turning our security maturity into a massive competitive differentiator.

• Regulatory Translation: Translate complex regulatory, contractual, and audit requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, Tx-RAMP) into highly practical, defensible, and scalable product-level security controls.

• Cross-Functional Operations: Collaborate with Security Operations and Cloud Ops to define product telemetry and logging requirements, ensuring secure-by-default deployment patterns and seamless integration into incident response workflows.

The Ideal Profile

• The Security Veteran: You bring extensive technical experience in application security, product security, secure engineering, or cloud security, ideally within SaaS or critical-infrastructure environments.

• The SSDLC Master: You have serious hands-on experience applying Secure Software Development Lifecycle practices, including SAST/DAST integration, threat modeling, and building automated security gates into modern CI/CD pipelines.

• The Framework Authority: You are highly experienced in mapping controls to major standards like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and NIST CSF / 800-53, with a working knowledge of NIST SP 800-82 (OT/ICS Security) for connected infrastructure.

• The IoT & Cloud Defender: You have a proven track record of securing connected devices, IoT, or OT-adjacent systems, backed by strong expertise in cloud-native architectures (AWS preferred), APIs, and microservices.

• The Strategic Influencer: You possess the rare ability to influence senior engineers and product leaders without relying on direct authority, effortlessly translating highly technical risks for auditors, executives, and non-technical stakeholders.

• The Analytical Problem Solver: You boast a fiercely analytical mindset and exceptional critical thinking skills, allowing you to make sound, high-stakes judgments under ambiguity.

• The Tooling Expert: You bring strong, practical experience utilizing the OWASP security tool suite and the CISA Cyber Security Evaluation Tool (CSET) to drive rigorous security assessments.
