As the first person to be fully dedicated to security within the engineering teams, you will be at the forefront of establishing security and compliance throughout the entire development lifecycle, paving the way for your future growth and the expansion of our security operations. If you’re a collaborative communicator who thrives in dynamic environments and finds joy in mentoring colleagues, we want you on our team!
