Research and evaluate trusted open-source security solutions like Google’s Assured Open Source Software and recommend their adoption where applicable
Work closely with engineering teams to integrate state-of-the-art SAST, DAST, and dependency scanning tools into the CI/CD pipeline to detect and remediate vulnerabilities early
Define and maintain best practices for secure coding to ensure all code developed by Glean engineers is free from vulnerabilities
Develop automated security validation tests to enforce vulnerability-free deployments across the stack
Lead the adoption and, if necessary, develop custom security solutions to manage and mitigate security risks at scale

Strong familiarity with package managers (npm, pip, Maven, Go modules) and securing open-source dependencies
Coding experience in languages such as Go, Python, Java, or C++ to develop security test cases and tooling
Hands-on experience with cloud-native security best practices across AWS, GCP, or Azure
Knowledge of container security, Kubernetes security, and securing microservices architectures
