What You’ll Accomplish

• Mentor and develop security engineers and analysts, fostering a culture that balances strong security rigor with engineering velocity, innovation, and psychological safety
• Define and own the security strategy and roadmap, leveraging technical expertise and threat modeling to drive systematic, data-informed risk reduction
• Lead and scale the security function across vulnerability management, application security, cloud and endpoint security, detection engineering, and security operations
• Oversee high-impact security initiatives, including enterprise secrets management, CSPM tooling, vulnerability management program, and platform abuse prevention
• Guide the development and operation of critical security services, ensuring operational excellence, reliability, and scalability, and serve as an escalation point during security incidents
• Serve as a security domain expert, providing guidance and communicating real security risks and concepts to senior leadership, engineering teams, and other partners
• Foster a collaborative, cross-functional culture by partnering closely with engineering leaders across Attentive and maintaining high standards, influencing roadmaps, and exemplifying strong leadership
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, Legal, IT, and other stakeholders to embed security into the SDLC, architecture reviews, and operational practices, acting as a trusted advisor and security domain expert to senior leadership and technical teams

Your Expertise

• 7+ years of experience in security engineering, including 2+ years leading, mentoring, and developing engineers and/or managers
• Broad, hands-on experience across modern security domains, including cloud security, product security, detection engineering, incident response, corporate security, and GRC
• Strong familiarity with modern security tooling and infrastructure, such as Datadog, Terraform, SentinelOne, Wiz, Panther, Semgrep, or similar platforms
• Proven ability to lead and influence cross-functional initiatives, clearly communicating security risks, tradeoffs, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage complex and ambiguous security challenges in a pragmatic, outcomes-focused way
• Demonstrated ability to balance security rigor with developer velocity, making thoughtful tradeoffs between risk reduction and productivity
• Comfort engaging deeply in technical discussions around infrastructure design, product architecture, automation, and secure-by-default system patterns

Nice to Haves

• Experience building and scaling security programs in fast-paced, high-growth environments
• A strong track record of building, leading, and retaining high-performing security teams while fostering a positive and collaborative security culture
• Deep understanding of modern and emerging threat landscapes, including AI/ML-related threats, and applying that knowledge to drive measurable risk reduction
• Deep experience securing complex cloud environments, including threat modeling, architecture reviews, incident response, and risk prioritization
• Strong data-driven mindset, using metrics to prioritize work and improve security outcomes
• Track record of taking a pragmatic approach to security, knowing when to challenge “best practices” and tailor requirements to the needs of the business
• Familiarity with Java, scripting languages, or AI/agentic approaches to build tools and automate security workflows
