As a Staff Engineer – Product Security, you will play a critical role in safeguarding our cutting-edge products and driving security innovation in a dynamic, multi-cloud environment. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to embed security into every stage of product development while staying ahead of evolving threats and industry best practices. This role requires deep expertise in cloud security — including cloud configuration reviews, cloud network security, and experience with CSPM/CNAPP tools — as well as the ability to drive security integration into modern DevOps pipelines. Additionally, you will be expected to effectively leverage AI in the security review workflow to increase accuracy, efficiency, and coverage. This is a mid-to-senior level role with significant influence over product security.

• Review the design, architecture, and implementation of Aviatrix products to ensure adherence to the highest security standards.
• Write and present design proposals and tradeoff evaluations.
• Apply AI effectively in the security review workflow (e.g., automated code analysis, threat detection, anomaly spotting, vulnerability triage) to improve efficiency and precision.
• Conduct vulnerability scanning using multiple tools, automate result aggregation, triage findings, and provide customers with clear guidance and effective mitigation strategies to address security concerns, particularly related to CVEs and vulnerability management.
• Utilize CSPM and CNAPP tools to monitor and enforce security best practices across multi-cloud environments.
• Collaborate with engineering, product management, and DevOps teams to integrate security into all stages of the product development lifecycle.
• Conduct threat modeling, secure code reviews, and penetration tests to identify vulnerabilities and recommend mitigations.
