- Embed security architecture into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, collaborating with engineering leadership to implement secure coding standards and shift-left practices
- Partner cross-functionally with IT, Engineering, Infrastructure, and Compliance teams to integrate security into broader enterprise initiatives
- Act as a senior escalation point during complex security incidents and translate lessons learned into long-term architectural improvements
- Lead, mentor, and grow security engineering managers and senior engineers while driving a cultural shift toward architecture-driven security
What We're Looking For
