  • Partner with Security Engineering as a technical peer to pressure test architectures and treatment plans.
  • Mentor engineers and risk practitioners and help build a risk engineering culture.

  • Strong programming skills in Python or a systems language such as Go, Rust, or C/C++.
  • Broad knowledge across core security engineering domains, with depth in at least one.
  • Calibrated risk judgment for defensible severity/likelihood and updating when evidence changes.
  • Experience leading cross-functional security initiatives and navigating complex organizational dynamics.

Details
