About This Role
Strava's Cybersecurity team protects the trust of over 200 million athletes by securing our platform, our data, and the systems our community depends on every day.

Secure Strava's enterprise environment by driving the architecture, hardening, and automation of endpoints, enterprise networking, email, collaboration platforms, SaaS applications, and third-party integrations.
