Security Engineer

As a Principal Security Engineer, you will serve as a senior security partner to product and technology teams, helping ensure security and trust are built into products from the earliest stages of design and development. You will work across security, product, engineering, privacy, and customer-facing teams to enable secure innovation, influence decision-making, and help shape the future of the Business Engagement function.

Responsibilities

• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to embed security requirements into new feature design from the outset, partnering with our DPO team where privacy considerations arise
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, building credibility and influence
• Collaborate across Information Security, ensuring the appropriate security teams are engaged in new feature design wherever they are needed
• Partner with Product and Engineering to create and refresh customer trust materials, including brochures, whitepapers and questionnaire knowledge base articles, and transition them to our Customer Engagement team, ensuring customers can make informed purchasing decisions
• Mentor and support more junior engineers within the Business Engagement team, sharing knowledge of both security domains and stakeholder engagement
• Stay current on how AI is reshaping both product capability and the security risks and expectations that come with it

Requirements

• Substantial experience operating in a SaaS or cloud-based product environment, with a strong understanding of how security intersects with product design and go-to-market
• A track record of working directly and effectively with Product and Engineering teams, comfortable challenging and being challenged
• Confidence and credibility engaging with senior stakeholders, with the ability to influence outcomes independently
• Strong working knowledge of security domains relevant to SaaS platforms (e.g. data protection, identity, application security); specialist security certification is valuable but not a prerequisite for the right background
• Genuine curiosity about and fluency with AI tools and how they're changing both product development and security practice
• Comfort operating autonomously across a global team
• Prior experience in a security, product, or engineering role that involved translating policy into technical or computational requirements
• Familiarity with legal, compliance, or regulated industries
• Exposure to AI-assisted development tools and workflows
• Experience responding to customer security questionnaires and building or maintaining a trust knowledge base
