We're seeking a Product Security Engineer to support secure development across our engineering teams. In this hands-on role, you'll help identify and mitigate product risks by participating in security reviews, improving tooling, and supporting vulnerability remediation.

This is a great opportunity for a security-minded engineer who wants to grow their technical breadth while making meaningful impact in a cloud-first, DevOps-centric environment. You must be comfortable working as part of a global team in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Collaboration across time zones and geographies is a key part of our culture and success.

• Threat Modelling: Participate in structured threat modelling exercises with guidance from senior team members.
• Vulnerability Triage: Work with engineering teams to review findings from SAST, SCA, DAST, and container scans and track remediation progress.
• Code & Config Review: Conduct basic secure code and configuration reviews, escalating high-risk findings as needed.
• Security Tooling & Automation: Help maintain and enhance security scanning integrations in CI/CD pipelines.
• Pen Testing Coordination: Assist in preparing for and triaging internal and third-party penetration tests.
• Security Documentation & Guidance: Help develop security best practices, developer guidance, and response runbooks.

Requirements

• 4 years in security engineering, DevSecOps, application security, or related software engineering roles.
• Strong foundational knowledge of secure coding and OWASP Top 10 risks.
• Experience with at least one modern programming language (e.g., Python, Java, JavaScript, Go, or C#).
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to security tooling such as SAST, SCA, or DAST scanners (e.g., Semgrep, Endor, Burp).
• Basic understanding of identity and access controls (OAuth, SAML, API tokens).
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with a willingness to learn and grow.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working in Agile/Scrum teams or DevOps environments.
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions or Jenkins.
• Exposure to security frameworks (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2).
• Experience working in SaaS, multi-tenant cloud environments.
• Knowledge of machine learning security (AI/ML model risks, LLM security best practices).
• Familiarity with attack surface management and threat intelligence.
• Relevant certifications (e.g., Security+, SSCP, GSEC) are a plus but not required.
