## About the role

Much of this scope is delivered in partnership. Engineering carries remediation on application, API, and dependency findings. Platform Engineering operates the CI/CD pipelines you secure. AI Engineering builds the model integrations you govern on the security side, while the Governance, Risk & Compliance team owns AI use governance, meaning acceptable use, model inventory, and third-party model data-egress scoping, as the companion to your security accountability.

- A minimum of 8 years application or product security
- A minimum of 3 years leading a team with function-level accountability
- Secure SDLC leadership across static, dynamic, and interactive analysis (SAST/DAST/SCA/IAST), dependency and software supply-chain risk, SBOM practice, and remediation delivered through engineering teams
- Security architecture and threat-modeling depth, with the standing to review a design and be heard by senior engineers
- DevSecOps and pipeline security experience, including scanning as a default in CI/CD, risk-calibrated release gating, and pipeline secret handling
- API security experience on a platform handling regulated data
