Product Security Engineer

The work of a Product Security Engineer centers on the products an organization ships rather than the infrastructure it runs on. That means taking responsibility for the security of software products across their whole lifecycle: providing guidance on new products and technologies, assessing designs through threat modeling, and making sure the controls that protect customers are in place before code reaches production.

Day to day, the role blends engineering with security operations. Product Security Engineers operate the security tooling embedded in the product pipeline, tune it to cut false positives, respond to vulnerabilities surfaced by threat detection systems, and build automation so security checks scale with the pace of delivery instead of slowing it down.

Because product decisions and security decisions are intertwined, Product Security Engineers work closely with software engineering and product teams to achieve both product and security business objectives. They maintain the internal documentation and standards that keep secure practices consistent across teams, and they act as the security voice inside product engineering, supporting incident detection and response when issues emerge in shipped software.
