What You'll Do
- Architecture & strategy
- Define security architecture for Flexport's products and services, and set the patterns and reference implementations that make secure-by-default the path of least resistance.
- Lead security engineering reviews for the highest-risk product features, and set the bar for what "good" looks like in reviews you don't personally run.
- Build and scale the security champions program and product security training that extend your judgment into teams where you can't be in every review.
- Design-time & review
- Lead domain-specific threat modeling and attack surface analysis across Flexport's product surface, not just individual features.
- Partner with engineering leadership to resolve the design tradeoffs that a senior engineer would escalate.
- Vulnerability management
- Set the bar for how the team triages, reproduces, and prioritizes bug bounty submissions and internal security reports, and step in on the hardest or highest-severity cases.
- Drive remediation of systemic classes of vulnerability, not just individual findings.
- Developer enablement & leadership
- Own the security services and tooling consumed by product teams across our global infrastructure.
- Mentor other engineers on the team, and act as the authoritative technical voice on product security across engineering leadership.
You Should Have
- Typically 2–5 years of experience in product/application security or software development with a security focus — we care more about what you've built than the exact number. If you meet most of this, apply; we'd rather see your work than filter you out on a résumé line.
