Sr. Security Engineer, Office of the CISO

Smartsheet is establishing the Office of the CISO and is looking for a group of wicked-smart security professionals that will serve Smartsheet users and customers through education of our platform’s security features, best practices, and capabilities.  The group will leverage its background and experience to understand customer needs and requirements and identify solutions, configurations, and controls that enable Smartsheet customers of all sizes to effectively manage their risk and align with data governance principles.  

Reporting to the CISO, the group will work alongside product engineering, IT, Sales, Legal, and of course the rest of the security team to proactively engage on customer-facing security challenges. This group may also be called upon to help during security incidents and investigations and support contract negotiations.  The OCISO will draw upon its expertise and experience in cloud security, global regulatory compliance, current threats, enterprise security controls/mechanisms, and security issues related to current technological trends (e.g. AI, privacy, data protection, etc.) to assist our customers.  The group will also play an invaluable role in communicating customer security needs and enhancements back to the product and engineering teams.
