This is a strong opportunity to help shape how Enterprise Security supports SaaS, internal platforms, automation, and AI-adjacent systems as the environment continues to grow in complexity.

Requirements

• 8+ years of experience in security engineering, enterprise security, application security, cloud security, or a related field.
• Experience conducting security design or architecture reviews for enterprise applications, SaaS platforms, integrations, or internally developed systems.
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, SSO, federation, SCIM, API security, token handling, secrets management, and least privilege design.
• Experience assessing data flows, third-party integrations, trust boundaries, logging and monitoring, and security controls across interconnected systems.
• Ability to evaluate risk in modern enterprise environments, including automation platforms, AI-adjacent workflows, and emerging integration patterns such as MCP.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate technical risk into clear requirements and actionable guidance.
• Experience driving security outcomes through engineering judgment, influence, and scalable process improvement.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, enterprise identity systems, and core control domains such as audit logging, encryption, access control, data retention, and incident response.

Outcomes

• Strengthen security practices across enterprise application and integration reviews by identifying key risks early, improving requirement quality, and helping teams address security issues earlier in the lifecycle.
• Strengthen Enterprise Security’s capability to assess and guide AI-adjacent security, MCP and integration security, and cross-system data flow risk, while improving the consistency and scale of security reviews.
