Product Security Specialist II

Play a key role in shaping the company Software's product security program - from strengthening security practices within the software development lifecycle and supporting the AI governance program that enables developers to safely maximize their use of AI tools, to working directly with customers and partners on their security needs. This role requires both a strong technical foundation in cybersecurity and the ability to communicate clearly with audiences ranging from engineers to customers and partners.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

We have an immediate opening and are excited to find the right candidate to join our team. Safe Software is hiring a Product Security Specialist II to join our Product Security team, which sits within the Information Security group. The scope of the role is deliberately broad: you will help write and maintain security policies and documentation, contribute to the AI governance program for developers, support the vulnerability disclosure process, and ensure security coverage extends to apps and services built outside of core engineering.

Customer and partner engagement is a significant part of the work - including security questionnaires, assessments, and direct participation in customer and partner driven security meetings. This is an individual contributor role suited for someone who thrives across a variety of security domains, is comfortable owning their areas independently, and enjoys an environment where the security program is actively growing. The role is remote-friendly.

ABOUT THE TEAM

At the company Software, the Product Security team co-owns product security domains with

Engineering across the full product lifecycle - from secure architecture and SDLC integration, to supply chain security, incident response, developer enablement, AI governance, metrics, and compliance. We define the standards and strategic direction; Engineering owns the technical execution. Our team fosters a collaborative, security-conscious culture that supports innovation without compromise.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

As a Product Security Specialist II, you will

• Stakeholder Enablement and Communication: Work directly with developers, product management, customer experience teams, customers, and partners - explaining security concepts for each audience, handling security questionnaires and assessments, and participating in customer and partner driven security meetings.

• Security Policy and Standards: Contribute to security policies across product security domains, help maintain the risk register, and support compliance monitoring to verify that policies are followed.

• Supply Chain Security: Conduct security and compliance reviews of third-party libraries and vendor components, including licensing and known risk signals.

• AI Security and Governance: Support the company's AI governance program for developers by contributing to policies and standards for AI-assisted development, monitoring emerging

• AI security risks, and assisting with training and awareness across the Engineering organization.

• Vulnerability Disclosure: Support the product security vulnerability disclosure process, including CVE registration, security advisory drafting, and contributing to postmortems and lessons-learned reviews.

• Security for Non-Engineering Apps and Services: Own ongoing security coverage for apps and services developed outside of core Engineering, including publicly accessible services (e.g., websites and APIs), internal tools, IT-developed scripts, and AI agents built for internal use.

• Metrics and Reporting: Contribute to security KPI tracking, governance dashboards, and reporting for leadership and external stakeholders.
