Technical Tools

EngineeringSecurity Engineer

The Security Engineer, Product Security will help shape and strengthen the security architecture of a broad portfolio of products and services. This role focuses on embedding secure-by-default principles into product development through architecture guidance, threat modeling, vulnerability management, and developer enablement. You will lead security reviews for high-risk product features, establish reusable security patterns, and help engineering teams make informed architectural decisions. Beyond individual assessments, you will build scalable programs and tools that extend security expertise across a large, globally distributed engineering organization. Working closely with product, platform, infrastructure, and engineering teams, you will address systemic risks and improve security throughout the software development lifecycle. This is an opportunity to combine hands-on technical security work with meaningful influence over engineering standards, practices, and culture.

Define security architecture and strategy: Establish security architecture for products and services, developing reusable patterns and reference implementations that make secure-by-default development the easiest path for engineering teams.
Lead security engineering reviews: Conduct and guide security reviews for high-risk product features, set consistent technical quality standards, and establish expectations for reviews conducted by other team members.
Drive threat modeling and attack surface analysis: Lead domain-specific threat modeling and assess attack surfaces across the broader product environment, identifying architectural risks beyond individual features.
Partner on technical decisions: Work with engineering leadership to evaluate and resolve complex security tradeoffs and guide secure product design.
Strengthen vulnerability management: Set standards for triaging, reproducing, and prioritizing bug bounty submissions and internal security reports, while personally handling the most complex or highest-severity cases.
Address systemic vulnerabilities: Drive remediation of recurring vulnerability classes and underlying security weaknesses rather than focusing solely on isolated findings.
Own security services and tooling: Manage the security services and tools used by product engineering teams across global infrastructure.
Develop security capabilities across engineering: Build and scale the security champions program and product security training, extending security knowledge and judgment throughout the engineering organization.
Provide technical leadership: Mentor fellow security engineers and serve as a trusted technical authority on product security across engineering leadership.
Participate in security operations: Contribute to the security on-call rotation and support work across security disciplines as needed.
