• Collaborate with engineering teams on secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and risk-based remediation.
• Improve product and AI security telemetry, detection opportunities, and response readiness in partnership with detection and infrastructure teams.
• Contribute to security standards, reference architectures, and developer-facing guidance that scale across teams.
• Support security reviews for external integrations, partner ecosystems, and features that handle sensitive customer data.
• Help investigate product and application security incidents and translate learnings into durable engineering improvements.
