• Partner with product and engineering leadership to define product security requirements, risk tolerances, and security roadmaps across multiple teams and initiatives


• Conduct and facilitate threat modeling workshops to proactively identify emerging risks and attack vectors and drive mitigations into product design


• Conduct security reviews for products and services deployed across AWS, Azure, and GCP including cloud‑native architectures, and platform‑specific security controls


• Own and mature the application and product security lifecycle, including threat modeling, secure design, secure coding practices, testing, and release validation


• Assess and secure early‑stage product design, architecture and workflows, associated with rapid prototyping and deployment


• Drive the adoption of automated security checks in CI/CD pipelines (SAST, DAST, SCA, secrets scanning, etc.) and ensure they are tuned to balance risk reduction with developer velocity


• Support and coordinate application security testing efforts, including tool‑based and manual reviews, and work closely with development teams to prioritize and remediate findings


• Establish and evangelize secure coding standards, patterns, and reusable frameworks that can be leveraged across engineering teams


• Support API security assessments, including authentication/authorization validation for REST/GraphQL APIs and API gateway configuration reviews


• Collaborate with security operations to ensure product‑related logs, alerts, and events are captured, correlated, and integrated into monitoring and incident response workflows


• Support vulnerability triage and management for product and application findings, including those surfaced through penetration tests and attack surface monitoring, covering risk assessment, remediation planning, and validation of fixes


• Ensure products handle sensitive data appropriately, including data classification, storage, transit, and retention practices aligned with organizational security requirements


• Evaluate, select, and help implement product security focused tools and services, influencing build vs buy decisions


• Develop documentation, playbooks, and training to raise the overall level of security awareness and capability across product and engineering teams


• Provide best practices on the secure use of AI‑assisted development tools, including risks around dependency integrity, code suggestions, and agent‑driven changes


• The unique and exciting opportunity to work at one of a leading global entertainment companies


• Access to the tools, leadership, and resources you will need to create and drive a center of excellence
