- Oversee execution of bug bounty and third-party testing programs, ensuring vulnerabilities are triaged, communicated, and remediated effectively.
- Build and scale Miro’s Security Champions program to embed security ownership within each engineering team.
- Guide secure adoption of AI-augmented software development tools, including LLMs used for code generation, reviews, or architectural assistance.
- Help envision and safely operationalize Agentic AI-driven developer and security workflows, including policy-driven autonomous agents supporting security automation and decision-making.
- Provide structured guidance, patterns, and reference architectures that support developers in implementing secure, scalable, and privacy-respecting features.
- Define and report on KPIs and success metrics for secure development adoption, vulnerability resolution, and developer engagement.
- Collaborate with Privacy, Legal, and Compliance teams to ensure alignment with regulatory requirements (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and emerging AI regulations).
- Foster a strong team culture based on collaboration, learning, and continuous improvement.
What you’ll need
- 10+ years of experience in software, application, or product security, including significant experience in secure software development.
- 3+ years of technical leadership or management experience in a security-focused role.
- Extensive experience with threat modeling methodologies (e.g., STRIDE, PASTA) and risk assessment, particularly within a SaaS or product-centric organization.
- Deep expertise in Secure Software Development Lifecycles (SSDLC), including integrating security into agile and custom development frameworks.
- Demonstrated experience running Security Champions programs and scaling developer engagement.
- Experience leading offensive security programs (penetration testing, red teaming, bug bounty).
- Practical understanding of governance and assurance frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and OWASP SAMM.
- Familiarity with AI/LLM tooling (e.g., Cursor, GitHub Copilot, custom LLM integrations) and the associated security and governance considerations.
- Experience working with AWS and securing API-driven, microservice-based architectures.
- Ability to manage distributed teams and communicate effectively across technical and business stakeholders.
