The Opportunity:

As we expand our engineering team beyond 100 members, we are establishing a tech leadership pathway that will facilitate our growth. In the role of Principal Engineer for Product Security, you will have the unique opportunity to define this position and cultivate the tech leadership culture alongside the Director of Tech Leadership.

In this capacity, you will tackle complex technical challenges associated with our innovative product offerings. Our commerce APIs manage sensitive information, including customer accounts and transactions. The Merchant Center, our administrative tool, incorporates a complex permission framework built upon our APIs. Your role will empower product teams to integrate security from the outset within a multi-cloud infrastructure.

Your Mission:

  • Develop a unified security framework and operational best practices, particularly for new services and teams.
  • Train product teams on conducting risk evaluations, identifying threats, and designing secure applications (including API-first solutions).
  • Assess requirements and application designs, assisting product teams in addressing any deficiencies.
  • Facilitate the integration of SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into the development lifecycle.
  • Organize external penetration assessments and guide teams in rectifying identified vulnerabilities.
  • Collaborate with development teams to resolve security challenges and enhance overall security.
  • Rapidly investigate emerging attack vectors to help teams implement effective security measures.
  • Support teams during certification audits.
  • Identify skill gaps and promote security knowledge sharing across the organization with our internal knowledge management team.
  • Initiate enhancements that impact multiple teams to bolster our Product Security, while also bringing your colleagues' ideas to fruition.
  • Lead organizational communication on long-term initiatives, ensuring successful adoption.
  • Work closely with Product Management, fellow Principal Engineers, the Head of Engineering, as well as legal and compliance teams.
  • Contribute to the evolution of our technical vision and advocate for it within the organization.

What you need to succeed:

  • A robust technical foundation and a proven history in a hands-on Product Security role (5+ years).
  • Experience enhancing Product Security in a leadership capacity (2+ years).
  • Proficiency in Secure Architecture design evaluations and Threat Modeling.
  • Expertise in embedding Security at various stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
  • Familiarity with Static Analysis and Secure Code Review implementations for early detection of security vulnerabilities in the SDLC.
  • Strong understanding of Linux systems, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vault, API, and web application security.
  • Relevant Security Certifications such as CISSP, CCSP, Certified Kubernetes Security Specialist, or cloud security certifications (GCP/AWS/Azure).
  • Practical experience in DevSecOps, with proficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., JavaScript, Go).
  • Ability to analyze security challenges and associated organizational issues.
  • Project management experience, particularly for initiatives impacting multiple teams.
  • Experience working in an Agile environment with a strong focus on customer needs.
  • Proven track record in setting up and conducting training sessions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proficiency in English for effective collaboration in an international setting.
