Job Description
• Lead secure design reviews, threat modeling, and security-focused code reviews across the product and platform.
• Ensure security is ingrained into the SDLC so that the secure path is the easy path for engineers with secure-by-default libraries, patterns, and guardrails.
• Own authentication, authorization, API security, and data protection architecture for a multi-tenant SaaS platform.
• Architect and maintain security tooling integrated into CI/CD pipelines: static analysis, dependency scanning, secrets detection.
• Evaluate and mitigate risks specific to Fieldguide's AI Agents — prompt injection, data leakage through LLM contexts, unauthorized tool use, and unintended agent behaviors.
• Partner with Agent and Platform teams to define security boundaries for agent execution: sandboxing, least-privilege tool access, and runtime policy enforcement.
• Build and run Fieldguide’s vulnerability management program: scanning, triage, SLA-driven remediation tracking, and engineering coordination.
• Ensure visibility into vulnerability posture across application code, dependencies, and infrastructure.
• Manage external penetration testing engagements, bug bounty programs, and coordinate remediation of findings.
• Partner with infrastructure engineering to review and improve cloud security across our AWS environment: IAM, network architecture, secrets management, and logging.
• Establish runbooks, communication protocols, and post-incident review practices in coordination with a 24/7 MDR team.
• Collaborate with engineers on incident response processes and playbooks.
• Partner with Compliance to ensure technical controls satisfy framework requirements (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, FedRAMP).
Job Requirements
