  • Guide secure integrations across multi-cloud platforms, SaaS ecosystems, and hybrid environments while scaling automation and AI-driven capabilities for threat prevention and response
  • 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

  • AI-driven mindset that leverages modern AI tools and automation to elevate developer experience, system reliability, and threat defense
  • Commitment to high standards and continuous improvement, with a focus on modernizing legacy environments, scaling platforms, and reducing technical debt
