Security should not be reviewed only at the end of a development process. It should be an integral part of our products and engineering processes from the very beginning.

We are looking for aProduct Security & Engineering Leadwho will take functional ownership of Security and Compliance within Product & Engineering. You combine technical security expertise with a pragmatic understanding of modern software development and translate requirements such as PCI DSS into concrete technical standards, processes and controls.
