Partner with Engineering, IT, and Product to embed security into all stages of the development lifecycle
Conduct regular threat modeling, risk assessments, and post-incident reviews to identify and mitigate systemic weaknesses

Requirements:

6–8 years of progressive experience in security operations, incident response, or threat management roles

Nice to have:

Experience in a high-growth SaaS or startup environment
Familiarity with data protection and privacy frameworks (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA)
