We are looking for a Platform Security Director to lead the engineering of our security infrastructure. Your mission is to build a Security Machine that is as sophisticated as our AI. You will move us beyond traditional "defense" into a "Secure-by-Default" reality, where our multi-cloud infrastructure (AWS and Azure) is hardened, automated, and resilient by design.

You’ll Own:

• The end-to-end security strategy across Application Security, Cloud (AWS/Azure), and Platform layers, ensuring a Secure-by-Default framework, as measured by deployment coverage, critical vulnerability reduction, and developer adoption metrics.
• A unified Security Engineering organization covering AppSec, SecDevOps, and AI Security leadership, collaboration points with adjacent teams (Infrastructure, R&D, Product Engineering), and building and mentoring a high-performing team.
• Lead our Platform Security domain — from Layer 7 protections to AWS architecture, security tooling, automated risk scoring, and AI-assisted automation workflows that improve detection and remediation times.
• Security controls (WAF, Rate Limiting) embedded into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, including mandatory security gates, artifact scanning, and automated deployment checks.
• Lead our AI strategy — enabling secure use in our platform products as well as for our internal engineering usage, and scaling AI security governance and controls.
• The evolution of scalable infrastructure security, including Kubernetes, containers, IAM, and Zero Trust architectures, strengthening Kubernetes and cloud security posture.
