ONCE YOU ARE HERE YOU WILL:
* Threat-model new product features before they're built, including AI-embedded ones, and turn what you find into real engineering work * Own tenant isolation and API security across our Rule Engine, Integration API, Management API, CAMA, UCP Predict features, Talon.One MCP and third-party integrations * Act as the security design authority for our AI features, working closely with the team behind UCP and Predict * Build automated cross-tenant and adversarial testing that runs in CI, so isolation gets checked on every build, not only during our external yearly Pentest iterations * Build standard, frictionless and automated golden paths for code security checks in CI workflows that developers can adopt by default without slowing down delivery * Run vulnerability and coordinate efficient patch response across every squad outside Platform, from automated dependency updates to drilled emergency response * Build and own application and AI security monitoring with our observability tools and build real-time security detection rules and alerts, and security events runbooks * Design the security of the API integration between Talon.One and Adyen as our products come together * Run a security champions programme so all our tribes build real security capability, not just the security team * Experiment with AI, leverage innovative ways and build new workflows to identify, prioritize, and remediate product security risks at scale.
