What you'll do

• You partner with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to identify and mitigate security risks across our cloud, application, and AI/ML environments
• You lead security initiatives in your specialist area – whether that is AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security – while staying curious and contributing across different domains
• You design, build, and operate security controls, automation, and tooling that scale with a fast-growing platform
• You drive threat modelling, secure design reviews, and risk assessments for new features, services, and infrastructure changes
• You detect, respond to, and investigate security incidents; own root cause analysis and drive post-incident improvements
• You translate complex security topics into clear, actionable language for technical and non-technical audiences, including C-level leadership
• You track the evolving threat landscape, with particular attention to AI/ML attack surfaces and AI-assisted security tooling

• Deep expertise in at least one domain: AI/ML Security, DevSecOps, Application/Product Security, or Cloud Security
• Strong builder mindset: able to script, automate, write detections, and review architectures/designs
• Understanding of modern threats (e.g., AI/ML risks, software supply chain, API and cloud security)
• Excellent communicator across technical and executive audiences
• Ability to work autonomously, set direction, and thrive in ambiguous, collaborative environments
