Requirements:

Prior experience running a security engineering team.
You have a strong engineering background and are capable of engaging in technical conversations and challenging teams to arrive at strong technical decisions themselves.
You will be comfortable working with engineering teams who have a strong sense of autonomy in their decision-making, be it technical or product-focused.
While you’re great with people and adept at managing relationships, you still keep up-to-date with the latest technical trends and shifts to maintain and enhance your understanding of the challenges your teams face.
You approach security with a DevOps mindset. You prefer security by enablement, automation, and guardrails over gates and roadblocks.
You have familiarity with securing and operating on public Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure) providers, with Kubernetes, and with securing combined open-source software (OSS) and SaaS products.
You are an excellent written and verbal communicator. You can articulate complex cybersecurity concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. You are adept at translating security problems to business impact.
