We are looking for a hands-on Staff Product Security Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will bridge traditional AppSec with modern AI security - automating shift-left pipelines, conducting threat models for core services and AI architectures, and leveraging AI tools to accelerate vulnerability remediation. You will partner directly with engineering,  Information Security, GRC, BuildOps & DevOps teams to secure our SaaS products and safely enable cutting-edge agentic features.

• →Shift-Left Automation & DevSecOps: Integrate and maintain automated security controls (SAST, DAST, SCA,Container, Secrets Detection) directly into CI/CD build pipelines and developer workflows.
• →Operational & Strategic AI Security: Leverage AI tooling operationally (e.g., auto-triage, threat-model drafting, fix generation) while strategizing security controls for product-facing AI features.
• →AI & Emerging Tech Threat Modeling: Assess risks specific to Generative and Agentic AI architectures, including MCP integrations, autonomous agents, tool-calling interfaces, multi-agent communication, prompt injections, and memory/context poisoning (OWASP Top 10 for LLMs / Agentic Apps).
• →Developer Guidance & Vulnerability Remediation: Review code (Python, Go, Javascript, etc), triage findings, and partner with engineering to implement robust short and long-term security fixes.
• →Supply Chain & Software Integrity: Manage third-party open-source risks, open-source dependency tracking, Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), and secure MCP/agent server ecosystems.
• →Enablement & Champions Program: Conduct secure coding workshops, train developers on secure AI usage, and help grow an active Security Champions network.

• →Experience: 3–5 years of security engineering experience in a SaaS product company.
• →AppSec Fundamentals: Deep expertise in OWASP Top 10, CWE 25, threat modeling, cryptography, container security, and secure SDLC frameworks (SAMM, Microsoft SDL).
• →AI Security Expertise: Hands-on experience reviewing AI security risks - specifically around Agentic AI systems, MCP security (authorization, tool poisoning, confused deputy risks), and LLM security controls.
• →Operational AI Use-Cases: Experience using AI tools to optimize security engineering workflows (e.g., automating root-cause analysis, threat modeling assistance, automated policy generation).
• →Programming & Tooling: Proficient in code review and scripting with Python, Go, or Javascript (hands-on development experience is a major plus). Hands-on with tools like Burp Suite, Snyk, OWASP ZAP, and CI/CD security scanners.
