## What they're looking for

- Own and expand the Product Security handbook, a living system that feeds the team's AI workflows to enforce secure design standards, architecture guidance, and engineering best practices
- Set technical direction for secure design across the org as a principal-level engineer, mentoring engineers, architects, and Security Champions on secure design, attack surface reduction, and AI-first security workflows
- Help evolve BeyondTrust's AI-first Product Security Architecture strategy, identifying where AI workflows can replace manual processes, where they need human oversight, and where the next capability gaps are
- 10+ years in Software Engineering, Security Architecture, Product Security, or Application Security, with a track record of owning architecture for shipping products
- Deep, practical experience with threat modeling, attack surface analysis, secure design reviews, and architecture risk analysis at scale, not just in theory
