  • Hands-on depth in application security: threat modeling, code review, and at least one offensive-security discipline (pen testing, red team)
  • Track record of shipping automation that changed how a team worked - ideally including meaningful use of LLMs, agents, or ML in a security or engineering workflow
  • Comfort operating across the full security lifecycle: prevention, detection, response, and recovery
  • Strong written communication. You can write the design doc, the post-mortem, and the board-ready summary - and you can tell a product engineer why their proposal needs to change without shutting down the conversation
  • Keen product sense and a bias toward measurable impact. You care whether the risk actually went down, not whether a ticket got closed

  • Scale triage with AI. Design the workflows and tooling that let the team handle 10x the volume of findings (bug bounty, scanner output, customer reports) without 10x the headcount
  • Review engineering proposals. Sit at the front of the design process with engineering leaders across Core, Clear, Shield, Connect, and Atlas - reviewing RFCs and proposals, flagging risk early, and helping teams ship securely by default
  • Run red-teaming exercises. Drive recurring red team engagements - both internal exercises and coordinated vendor work - and close the loop into detection, response, and product hardening
  • Own the AppSec vision. Partner with the leadership team to set multi-quarter strategy across anomaly detection, threat modeling, and AI-augmented defense
  • Fight fires when they happen. Lead incident response from the application security side, and be the person engineering trusts to make the call in the room
