Conduct comprehensive security reviews, threat modeling, and risk assessments for all proposed new features, architectural changes, and major system updates. Provide actionable feedback to engineering teams to ensure designs meet stringent security standards and comply with internal policies and external regulations.

• Engineering Collaboration and Guidance: Work hand-in-hand with software engineers, DevOps teams, and product managers across the organization. You will offer expert security guidance, answer complex security-related questions, troubleshoot implementation issues, and mentor engineers on secure coding practices and security design principles, fostering a culture of security awareness.

• Platform Security Team Participation: Contribute to the Platform Security team's daily operational tasks, including maintaining security documentation, managing security-related tickets, participating in on-call rotations as required, and driving initiatives to improve team processes and efficiency.

What You’ll Bring:

• 3+ years of proven relevant professional experience

• Background in coding/scripting is desired, preferably Go and/or Python

• Cloud security knowledge is desired, preferably AWS or GCP
