  • Own and elevate security reporting, including driving strategic improvements in vulnerability management, coordinating advanced penetration testing engagements, and ensuring infrastructure compliance at a strategic level
  • Mentor and guide senior security engineers and technical leads, fostering a culture of technical excellence, innovation, and knowledge sharing within the team and across the engineering organization
  • Develop and champion long-term product security roadmaps and strategies, aligning with business objectives, technological advancements, and emerging threat landscapes
  • Represent Palo Alto Networks Product Security in external forums, industry conferences, and standard bodies, contributing to the broader cybersecurity community

  • Expert-level knowledge and proven track record of architecting, implementing, and scaling security tooling and best practices, such as pre-commit / pre-receive hooks, dependency scanning, SAST, OSS and advanced vulnerability management platforms
  • Demonstrated leadership in security tools benchmarking, fine-tuning, and strategic integration to maximize effectiveness and minimize friction
  • Extensive experience leading and maturing practices around architectural risk analysis, threat modeling, secure code reviews, static code analysis, and advanced security testing techniques to identify and remediate complex vulnerabilities in enterprise-scale software products
  • Authoritative knowledge of industry security standards and best practices (e.g., OWASP, NIST, ISO, MITRE ATT&CK) and experience driving their adoption and adaptation
  • Expertise in designing, architecting, and securing large-scale integrations of AWS and / or GCP services into IAM platforms and overall cloud security posture
  • Profound expertise in microservice architecture and demonstrated leadership in defining and enforcing security best practices for APIs across complex multi-cloud environments
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills with a proven ability to influence and present to multiple levels of leadership, including executives, involving both business and technical stakeholders
  • Demonstrated experience in leading complex, cross-functional security initiatives, setting technical direction, and mentoring senior technical staff
