Step 1 of 3
The mandate in four claims
- Scope
- Secure products across enterprise/product security, cloud infrastructure and protections embedded in the editor and agent platform - one engineer, three surfaces.
- Posture
- Builder-first. You design paved-road defenses (JIT cloud access, AI-augmented review, agent sandboxes), not one-off remediations.
- Ownership
- Flat, talent-dense org. You take an ambiguous security problem and return working systems with limited guidance.
- Bar
- Advanced: 5+ years across BOTH application security AND infrastructure/cloud security. One axis is not enough.
