Job Summary

As the Director of Product Security, you will be the primary strategist and technical leader responsible for the security of our entire software portfolio. You will bridge the gap between deep technical offensive security (Red Teaming/VAPT) and high-level executive governance. You are not just managing a team; you are building a "Security-First" engineering culture that balances rapid deployment with uncompromising safety.

Key Responsibilities

• Multi-Year Roadmap: Define and execute a multi-year Product Security strategy that shifts from reactive patching to proactive resilience.
• Culture & Advocacy: Build a "Security Champions" program across engineering to decentralise security ownership.
• Executive Stakeholder Management: Translate complex technical risks into business impact for the C-suite and Board, ensuring security is seen as a business enabler.

Technical Excellence (Shift-Left & Shield-Right)

• Secure SDLC: Architect and govern the integration of SAST, DAST, and SCA tools into automated CI/CD pipelines (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins).
• Offensive Security: Lead a multi-disciplinary team in conducting VA/PT for Web, Mobile, and Network, alongside advanced Red Teaming exercises to test detection and response capabilities.
• Cloud Security & CSPM: Own the security posture across AWS, Azure, or GCP using CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) to prevent drift and misconfigurations.
• Architecture Review: Act as the final authority on security architecture reviews for all high-impact product features.

Operational & Financial Management

• Metrics & KPIs: Drive accountability through rigorous tracking of KPI, SLA Compliance, and Vulnerability remediation.
• Budget & Vendors: Manage the security department’s OpEx/CapEx budget, negotiate with global vendors, and optimize the security tooling stack.
• Performance Management: Lead hiring, mentorship, and annual performance reviews for a global team of security engineers and researchers.

Skill & Experience Needed

• Experience: 10+ years in Cybersecurity, with at least 5 years in a formal leadership/management role.
• Technical Depth: Expert-level knowledge of OWASP Top 10, SANS Top 25, and cloud-native security patterns.
• Offensive Mindset: Proven experience managing Red Teams or advanced penetration testing programs.
• Platforms: Deep hands-on experience with modern security tools (e.g., Snyk, Checkmarx, Wiz, Prisma Cloud, Burp Suite).
• Education: B.Tech/M.Tech in CS or related field. Certifications like CISSP, CISM, or OSCP/OSCE are highly preferred.

What You’ll Get

• Competitive salary.
• Fun-filled work culture (https://www.highradius.com/culture/)
• Equal employment opportunities.
• Opportunity to build with a pre-IPO Global SaaS Centaur.
