• Lead “shift left” security efforts to build security into the software development lifecycle. 

• Conduct secure design and architecture reviews and threat modeling. Identify and prioritize risks, attack surfaces, and vulnerabilities. 

• Perform manual and automated security code reviews of source code changes and advise developers on remediating vulnerabilities and following secure coding practices.

• Oversee penetration testing including running tests and completing reports on key assets prior to launch, managing 3rd party testing programs, and working with engineering to track and confirm all issues are addressed in a timely manner.

8. Have a proactive mindset to thread security throughout the product lifecycle through activities like threat modeling, secure code review, and education. 

9. Have strong grasp of offensive security to anticipate risks from an adversary's perspective, not just check compliance boxes. 

10. Have experience with modern application stacks, infrastructure, and security tools to implement pragmatic defenses. 

11. Are passionate for security fundamentals like least privilege, defense-in-depth, and eliminating complexity.

12. AI/ML knowledge is a big plus.
