How will you make an impact?

We are seeking a Cybersecurity Technical Lead who will combine hands-on technical expertise with leadership in guiding secure engineering practices. This role will bridge the gap between engineers and project leadership: providing deep technical direction, mentoring, and oversight of secure development and infrastructure practices, while working in close partnership with our Cybersecurity project manager, Product Security Architect, and product owners. You will play a central role in ensuring that security is consistently embedded into our development workflow.

Key Responsibilities

You will focus on crafting the technical approach to security across engineering teams. You will be responsible for embedding security practices into application development and DevOps environments. Be ready to assist engineers in applying Dev Sec Ops tools, security procedures, and compliance standards, ensuring seamless integration into our workflows. This includes crafting and maintaining comprehensive security documentation, including guidelines, procedures, and incident response plans, and the subsequent organizational training.

Technical Skills

• Solid understanding of Static Code Analysis, Dependency/Software composition analysis, Secrets scanning, Dynamic application Security testing, and SBOM creation and analysis.
• Knowledge of vulnerability and security risk management methods, Dev Sec Ops security monitoring and response techniques.
• Proficiency with infrastructure as code and configuration management tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) including secure deployment patterns.
• Proficiency in Python, C#, PowerShell, or comparable language, enabling automation and prototyping.
• Experience with Dev Sec Ops tools: CI/CD (e.g.: Jenkins, GitLab CI), SBOM generation (e.g.: OWASP CycloneDX tools), and SBOM analysis tools (e.g.: Dependency Track).

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field. Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CEH, SANS) are a bonus.
• Experience: Demonstrated ability in Dev Sec Ops and software development.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Our teams are located across development sites in the US and Europe. Because of our distributed organization, infrequent traveling will be part of the job, along with working the occasional early morning for communicating across time zones.
