About Nominal

Nominal powers mission-critical engineering with advanced data infrastructure, real-time observability, and analysis tools — all in one collaborative platform. Backed by General Catalyst, Lightspeed and Sequoia.

About the role

Our customers trust us with the data and controls behind their hardware programs, so the security of our platform is part of the product itself. It has to be designed in from the first architecture review and held up through every release, not checked at the end. Product Security is the function that makes that the default for how we build.

  • Experience running a vulnerability management process, including triage, prioritization by real exploitability, and remediation tracking against SLAs
  • Experience scoping penetration tests and working with testers and engineering teams to close findings
  • A record of writing security standards or requirements that engineering teams adopt in practice
