Support SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and other security controls

Maintain software bills of materials (SBOMs), dependency visibility, and remediation follow-up

Support security assessments, vulnerability assessments, and penetration testing

Maintain vulnerability-handling playbooks, product security procedures, and incident response runbooks

Strong software engineering background and the ability to work effectively with engineering teams

Understanding of application, API, infrastructure, and software supply chain security risks

Experience applying cloud security concepts and practices

Understanding of identity and access management, network security, logging, monitoring, and secure cloud architecture patterns

Familiarity with vulnerability management, incident response, security assessments, and secure software development lifecycle practices

Experience with threat modeling and security design reviews

Strong communication skills, including professional communication with external security researchers and vendors

Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving environment

Nice to have:

Genuine interest in cybersecurity and motivation to grow as a product security expert

Hands-on experience with AWS security controls, best practices, and architecture patterns

Hands-on experience with C++ or JavaScript

Experience with security testing and automation using scripts, APIs, CI/CD pipelines, or specialized tools

Experience conducting threat modeling for SaaS, API, cloud, or on-premises product components

Experience with SBOM generation, dependency visibility, or software supply chain security

Benefits

What we offer:

A fully remote work environment

The opportunity to work on a real-world security product used by IT and security teams

High ownership and a direct impact on product security practices

Close collaboration with engineering, product, and security teams

A fast-growing software company with low bureaucracy and practical decision-making

The opportunity to improve security processes, automation, and engineering workflows

A supportive team that values clear thinking, ownership, and continuous learning
