Feedback from security tooling users is actively incorporated to streamline processes and reduce friction, driving continuous improvement in application security practices.

• Partner with Application Security teams to align Product Security tooling with existing AppSec capabilities, standards, workflows, and roadmaps, minimizing unnecessary overlap and identifying opportunities for consolidation or integration.
• Define technical requirements, use cases, success criteria, and evaluation methods for security tooling; lead proofs of concept and document recommendations based on security value, scalability, integration fit, operational effort, and total cost considerations.
• Integrate ASPM and SSPM platforms with source code management, CI/CD, ticketing, vulnerability management, identity, cloud, and security systems to improve context, automation, and remediation workflows.

What you'll bring:

• You have hands-on experience supporting, administering, integrating, and operating ASPM, SSPM, or related application, SaaS, and cloud security platforms, including managing vendor technical engagements, escalations, roadmap discussions, and feature validation.
• You have experience taking technical ownership of security platforms, including configuration, integrations, access, upgrades, troubleshooting, vendor engagement, operational health, and roadmap planning.
• You understand how SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets scanning, API security, cloud security, identity, and other security signals can be aggregated, correlated, prioritized, and operationalized through posture management platforms.
• You have experience evaluating security technologies against defined use cases, security gaps, technical requirements, integration needs, and measurable outcomes.
