  • Define security architecture across the platform with a focus on authentication, authorization, data protection, and software supply chain security
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to implement security best practices.
  • Grow engineering talent through hands-on mentorship while fostering strong security values

What we look for

  • 10+ years of experience architecting and maintaining distributed data systems and cloud-based platforms

  • Strong development background in technologies and languages that include Python
  • Proven success coaching and developing senior engineers
  • Demonstrated ability in technical execution and leadership
  • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills
