The platform is designed to support agile software development and to be programmable.

As the Security Risk Lead, you will be at the center of all things security risk-related. Your goal is to take complex security data and turn it into clear, actionable risk stories for Senior Leadership. You will help Fastly understand not just that risks exist, but influence leaders to understand why it matters and what needs to be prioritized versus dropped. You’ll diagnose problems at the source, working with stakeholders from Security, Engineering, Compliance, and the rest of the organization to redesign our internal systems and make our environment more secure. Fastly believes that security is everyone’s responsibility and you will empower all of Fastly to live up to that responsibility. You will right-size Fastly’s existing security policies and standards so they are as lean and high-performing as our technology.

You will be supported by a friendly security team, where you can learn and develop. We check our egos at the door. You’ll make sure our customers benefit from a service built to the highest security standards in the industry. We pride ourselves in our involvement in the larger security community and encourage our team to present at network and security conferences and participate in the open source community.

What You’ll Do

• Lead targeted security risk assessments across the organization
