A record of partnering with internal engineering teams to tackle security problems across an entire stack with empathy and creativity. Engineering teams are our partners, not our adversaries.

Preferred qualifications: 3+ years experience guiding software teams on secure architecture design. Experience building or reviewing threat models and ability to craft malicious user, attacker, and abuse/misuse cases. Working knowledge of hardware and software supply chain security.
