In this role, you'll establish strategic security initiatives, drive organizational change, and partner closely with engineering, product, and compliance teams to embed security as an enabler of innovation rather than a blocker. You'll balance hands-on technical leadership with people management, mentoring engineers while shaping the vision and roadmap for application security in a fast-growing, AI-driven technology company. This role requires someone who can translate complex security challenges into business outcomes and foster a culture of security excellence across distributed global teams.

  • oversee application security initiatives across all products, including secure SDLC practices, vulnerability management, threat modeling, architecture reviews, and bug bounty programs
  • define tooling strategy for Application Security, driving automation to achieve high remediation coverage while maintaining development velocity
  • partner with engineering, product, compliance, and other security teams to embed security throughout the organization, delivering training and acting as a trusted advisor on security architecture

Requirements:

  • 10+ years of experience in Application or Product Security
  • at least 3+ years in a management or leadership role
  • proven track record of building and scaling security teams in SaaS or cloud-native environments
  • deep expertise in web application security, API security, microservices, and containerized architectures
  • strong understanding of modern development practices, including CI/CD, DevSecOps, and agile methodologies
  • experience implementing and managing security tooling across the SDLC (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning)
  • demonstrated ability to work effectively with distributed global teams across multiple time zones
  • excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to present to executive audiences
  • strong technical background with hands-on experience in at least one major programming language (Python, Java, Go, JavaScript)
  • knowledge of cloud security best practices, particularly AWS, Kubernetes, and container orchestration

Nice to have:

  • Experience in data analytics, AI/ML, or LLM product security
  • background implementing runtime application security or supply chain security controls
  • track record of driving security automation initiatives that improve both security posture and developer experience
  • experience with security frameworks (OWASP SAMM, BSIMM, NIST CSF)
  • certifications such as CISSP, OSCP, OSWE, CSSLP, AWS Security Specialty, or CCSP
  • prior experience managing security in highly regulated industries or with enterprise customers
What we offer:
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and career growth opportunities

  • equity
  • generous benefits program
