This is a Staff-level individual contributor role with real program ownership: you set the standards, build the guardrails, and work directly with engineers in the code. You report to the CISO and partner daily with Engineering, and our Cloud Security team. You are not a one-person department: security engineers and consulting partners execute under your direction. Your job is to set direction, make the hard technical calls, and build leverage through automation and partners rather than carry every task yourself. \nEssential Duties & Responsibilities\nSecure development lifecycle and guardrails\nOwn and mature Cleo’s SSDLC: security requirements, threat modeling, and design reviews for high-risk product changes, APIs, and integrations. \nRun and tune SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container, and IaC scanning. \nBuild reusable secure patterns, reference implementations, and policy-as-code controls that make the secure path the default path. \nOwn developer security enablement: Security Champions meeting, deliver the engineering security training campaigns, grow a named champion in every squad, and give developers practical remediation guidance, office hours, and self-service security capabilities. \nProduct vulnerability management \nRun risk-based triage, remediation, and verification for application and product vulnerabilities, including remediation SLAs, escalation, and exceptions. Reproduce externally reported vulnerabilities against running product instances and validate patches before release. \nOwn the penetration testing program: scope and coordinate third-party engagements, perform targeted testing yourself, and validate findings through retesting.\nRun our Vulnerability Disclosure Program, including researcher communications and coordinated disclosure. \nCoordinate the CVE lifecycle for Cleo products and support product-security incident response. \nOwn the application and product-security controls in Cleo's NIST CSF 2.0 program: track maturity, close gaps, and produce the evidence our audits rely on. \nProduct security \nOwn the security posture of the products Cleo ships, across SaaS and customer-hosted deployment models: secure defaults, authentication and session controls, RBAC and tenant isolation, admin data access, security-relevant configuration, and hardening guidance for customers. \nOwn the Product Security Roadmap: partner with Product Management, the CTO, and Architecture to get security features prioritized and shipped, including SSO/SAML upgrades, the in-app RBAC redesign, endpoint-level access control, and customer-requested controls, and represent security in RTE Sync and Boundary Review. \nBe the technical owner for customer-facing product security: triage customer vulnerability-scan findings and penetration-test reports against Cleo products, answer security RFIs and enhancement requests, and author customer-facing advisories, security release notes, and hardening documentation. \nAI Fluency Competencies\nOwn threat modeling and security review for LLM-enabled product features, AI agents, and AI-assisted development workflows. \nBuild controls and secure patterns for prompt injection, sensitive data exposure, insecure output handling, excessive agency, insecure tool integrations, and AI supply-chain risk. \nApply and operationalize the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework across product and engineering. \nPrerequisites\n6+ years in application security, product security, or secure software engineering, including experience building or maturing an AppSec program across multiple engineering teams. \nStrong object-oriented developer: Strong proficiency in an object-oriented programming language is required, with Java preferred given Cleo’s core products are Java-based. You should be able to read, debug, and write production-quality code and be comfortable working across languages such as TypeScript, Python, or Go. \nDeep knowledge of application attack surfaces: authentication, authorization, API security, business-logic flaws, and modern service architectures. \nHands-on experience integrating and tuning SAST, SCA, and secrets scanning in GitHub and CI/CD pipelines. \nHands-on exploit reproduction and patch validation: you can take a researcher's report of a pre-authentication vulnerability, reproduce it against a running Java web application, confirm the fix, and write up what the researcher and the customer each need to hear. \nCoordinated disclosure experience with external security researchers and customers, including holding an embargo timeline and driving a CVE to publication. \nProduct security experience on shipped software with an installed base: secure defaults and hardening guidance, customer-facing advisories and security release notes, and turning a customer's scan report or RFI into a fix-or-explain response. \nExperience running threat modeling, design reviews, and manual security testing, and working directly with developers through remediation. \nClear communicator who can turn technical risk into engineering guidance for both developers and executives, and who can hold a release-gating decision with Engineering leadership when the risk warrants it. \nNice to Have\nSecuring LLM applications, AI agents, or AI-assisted development tools. \nSBOM (CycloneDX/SPDX), VEX, artifact signing, and SLSA. \nAWS, Kubernetes/EKS, Terraform, Jenkins. \nSnyk, GitHub Advanced Security, Semgrep, Burp Suite. \nNIST CSF 2.0, OWASP SAMM/ASVS, NIST SSDF; supporting SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audits. \nCSSLP, OSWE, GWAPT, AWS Security, or comparable certifications. \nEnterprise software with both SaaS and customer-hosted deployment models; SSO/SAML, RBAC design, and multi-tenant isolation; MFT/EDI or other B2B integration products. \nA few things we have to offer: \nCompensation: $160,000 to $180,000 + Bonus Opportunity \nGreat Healthcare + Dental + Vision\nFlexible PTO\nCulture of support, encouraging Life-Work balance\n401k match\nFSA and HSA options\nEmployee Assistance Program\nPaid Parental Leave\nRemote work environment \nRepresenting a company with 4,000+ clients and a 99% retention rate\nAccelerated title and salary growth potential \nA fun and energetic work environment that makes you excited to go to work every day\nWe use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist in certain stages of our recruitment process, such as resume screening and candidate matching.
