Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Software Security Engineer to join our Product Security team. The successful candidate will help ensure secure Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) practices across the organization, from design through deployment.

As a Senior Software Security Engineer, you will engage with product development teams across the organization and serve as a subject matter expert in secure software development practices, DevSecOps enablement, and application security.

You will collaborate closely with engineering teams to identify and mitigate security risks, improve security automation, and integrate scalable security solutions into software delivery workflows.

Key Responsibilities

  • Work closely with development teams to identify and mitigate security risks in software and systems.
  • Promote and enhance Secure SDLC practices through automation, tooling, architecture reviews, and scalable security integrations across the software development lifecycle.
  • Conduct security assessments and code reviews to identify vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with security standards and best practices.
  • Develop and maintain secure coding guidelines and provide training to development teams.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support the timely delivery of secure software solutions.
  • Mentor and train less experienced team members on technical and security-related topics.
  • Develop solutions to automate security processes and workflows.
  • Evaluate security tools and lead Proof of Concepts to support recommendations for tool acquisition, integration, and maintenance.
  • Develop metrics and reporting to support remediation prioritization and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Identify and drive process improvements to increase productivity, reduce friction, and improve security outcomes.
  • Contribute to the Product Security team’s strategy and long-term roadmap.
