## About the role

Forterra is unleashing autonomy at scale to transform the battlefield, and the systems we field have to be trusted in the most contested, disconnected environments on earth. We're seeking a Senior Engineer, Product Security to own product security for a program end-to-end: someone who can walk in, take the wheel, and be the single security authority in front of both our engineers and a government cyber or program office. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Define, write, and trace security requirements through systems-engineering processes, including requirements and design reviews and verification and validation, so security is built in and demonstrably met
- Lead threat modeling across autonomy, embedded, and command-and-control systems, and drive risk assessments that weigh mitigations against mission needs
- Engineering owns hands-on-keyboard hardening, you own the expertise, the requirement translation, and the authorization case
- Partner in software supply-chain security, SBOMs, and the secure SDLC (SAST/DAST, code review, CI/CD) helping move the program toward a DevSecOps pipeline built for security
- Audit embedded and application code for vulnerabilities, drive remediation with internal teams and vendors, and collaborate across systems, safety, test, and DevOps to meet product- and program-level security needs
- 5+ years in security engineering or a closely related field, with the depth to be the security decision-maker on a program. Equivalent demonstrated skill will be considered in lieu of exact tenure
