What you bring Experience leading security, platform, or infrastructure teams at scale, with clear ownership of strategy, execution, and outcomes. Deep expertise in application and product security, with a strong understanding of modern software development and platform architectures. Proven ability to operate as a technical leader and influencer, not only a people manager. Track record of partnering with senior engineering and business stakeholders to drive security outcomes through collaboration rather than gatekeeping. Ability to navigate ambiguity, set direction, and make sound risk-based decisions that scale with the organization.
