DigitalOcean Get AI-powered advice on this job and more exclusive features. Were looking for a Senior Product Security Engineer who is passionate about partnering with engineers to assess the security risk of new products and features.
As a member of the Secure Design team, you will report to the Senior Manager of Product Security. Our Secure Design team enables DigitalOcean to build secure-by-design products. We leverage strong relationships with both product teams and the rest of security engineering to be successful. Our scope is primarily focused on reviewing early-stage decisions, helping develop threat models, scaling impact via automation, curating security patterns, authoring security guidance, training, and championing security initiatives.
You will collaborate with other security teams and the rest of DigitalOcean to guide secure architecture design, reduce security risk in the organization, and empower engineers to make informed security decisions. Security at DO means solving incredibly complex problems at a high-scale that have real impact for our customers, our products, and the larger internet community.
What Youll Do
Threat model application designs and solutions and provide security risk assessments (70%)
Provide deep technical expertise in software and network architecture during holistic assessments of security layers across infrastructure, application, people, and process. Collaborate with product managers, designers, and engineers to threat model and architect secure and resilient systems. Identify the trade-offs of different solutions and recommend the efficient design to achieve both functional goals and security requirements. Provide hands-on remediation guidance to development teams.
Cultivate and promote a security culture (20%)
Champion an internal security culture (developer training, internal CTFs, etc.). Mentor software engineering teams in security best practices. Help oversee our vulnerability management program (we call it security debt). Help DigitalOcean engineers understand how security events impact them. Do they need to worry about the next Log4j CVE? How does RetBleed impact DigitalOceans fleet?
Build security tooling and automations to help scale the Product Security team's practices (10%)
Use software architecture and coding patterns to reduce the impact of security issues. Drive architecture, patterns, and processes across engineering that make security the easiest path. Integrate custom security tooling into engineering workflows.
Required Qualifications
What youll add to DigitalOcean:
Experience leading architectural changes or complex cross team efforts to mitigate security vulnerabilities. Ability to clearly communicate security topics and vulnerability classes (e.g. OWASP Top Ten) and ability to provide actionable direction to product teams. 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. Working knowledge of modern development concepts (virtualized environments, containerization, continuous integration + delivery).
Preferred Qualifications
5+ years experience guiding software teams on secure architecture design. Proficiency in network and/or system architecture design: with concepts such as BGP and gNMI, and you think of TCP, not geography, when someone says Reno. A big part of our product is our networking layer. If you get excited about the thought of driving the secure design of network-level architecture, let us know! 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. Familiarity with object oriented and functional programming concepts, particularly with languages such as Go, JavaScript, Rust, or C.
Why Youll Like Working For DigitalOcean
We innovate with purpose. Youll be a part of a cutting-edge technology company with an upward trajectory, who are proud to simplify cloud and AI so builders can spend more time creating software that changes the world. As a member of the team, you will be a Shark who thinks big, bold, and scrappy, like an owner with a bias for action and a powerful sense of responsibility for customers, products, employees, and decisions. We prioritize career development. At DO, youll do the best work of your career. You will work with some of the smartest and most interesting people in the industry. We are a high-performance organization that will always challenge you to think big. Our organizational development team will provide you with resources to ensure you keep growing. We provide employees with reimbursement for relevant conferences, training, and education. All employees have access to LinkedIn Learning's 10,000+ courses to support their continued growth and development. We care about your well-being. Regardless of your location, we will provide you with a competitive array of benefits to support you from our Employee Assistance Program to Local Employee Meetups to flexible time off policy, to name a few. While the philosophy around our benefits is the same worldwide, specific benefits may vary based on local regulations and preferences. We reward our employees. The salary range for this position is $145,000 - $200,000 based on market data, relevant years of experience, and skills. You may qualify for a bonus in addition to base salary; bonus amounts are determined based on company and individual performance. We also provide equity compensation to eligible employees, including equity grants upon hire and the option to participate in our Employee Stock Purchase Program. We value diversity and inclusion. We are an equal-opportunity employer, and recognize that diversity of thought and background builds stronger teams and products to serve our customers. We approach diversity and inclusion seriously and thoughtfully. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, ancestry, national origin, caste, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, genetic makeup, marital status, or military service. This is a remote role.
