This role emphasizes secure-by-default architecture, infrastructure automation, and measurable risk reduction, ensuring security controls are consistently applied as the organization scales. In partnership with Cloud Engineering, Product Security, and Cyber Operations, you will enhance vulnerability management workflows, increase automation across intake and response processes, and strengthen detection and triage capabilities.

You will help drive improved remediation velocity, clearer security posture visibility, and more efficient security operations through engineering-led solutions. You will also contribute to the resilience and reliability of critical security platforms, ensuring continuity of monitoring and posture management capabilities while supporting modernization efforts. Success in this role means delivering durable, scalable security outcomes: stronger preventive coverage, reduced exposure windows, improved operational efficiency, and measurable improvements in enterprise security posture.
