Staff Security Engineer
Do you have a passion for securing cloud native environments? Are you excited by the opportunity to define industry leading standards and patterns? Would you like to work with a world class engineering team to train, mentor, and grow a security minded development culture? Outreach is looking for a Staff Security Engineer to partner with product engineering teams to drive secure product design, perform application security reviews, and help shape the future of our cloud native, continuous deployment application security program.
The ideal candidate brings strong application security engineering skills, a background in software development or engineering, and deep knowledge of application security vulnerabilities and mitigations. This role is centered on building secure systems and improving secure development practices, not on offensive security testing alone. It emphasizes researching emerging threats and effective mitigations, then applying those insights across our services and Secure Development Lifecycle. The right candidate enjoys engaging with customers, takes ownership of improving security processes and technical controls across engineering teams, and contributes to the development of product security features.
From day one, you will partner with product managers and engineers across the organization and, at times, work directly with customers. You will help train and support PMs and engineers in designing and implementing secure development practices within our CI/CD pipelines to reduce vulnerabilities in production code. You will create technical training and security awareness content, contribute to secure coding standards, and produce position papers and technical specifications that guide security mitigations and product feature development.
The primary focus areas for this position are:
Technical Fluency – A passion for security and technology, familiarity with DevOps methodology and containers, SaaS and cloud security solutions and standards, and microservice architectures.
Advisory Skills – Providing direction, advice and support that helps grow the technical and collaboration skills of the individuals and teams you work with.
Execution – Planning, coordination, managing dependencies and risks, and diving deep when issues arise. Ability to work with people and drive a program to completion is a must.
