• Experience in defining roadmaps, technical architecture, and deliverables.
• Experience in balancing risk management with company objectives and opportunities.

• Existing experience building and operating security for distributed systems at scale.
• You’ve previously helped recruit and shape brilliant engineering teams.
• You’ve previously taken an active role in defining and evaluating effective team processes.
