Staff Application & Product Security Engineer
Cleo
Remote · United States$13,333–15,000 gross/mofull-timeCleo Careers
You will be the most senior hands-on application security engineer at Cleo, owning both how security is built into our products from design through release and the security posture of the products we ship, both on-premise and SaaS, as our customers experience them. This is a Staff-level individual contributor role with real program ownership: you set the standards, build the guardrails, and work directly with engineers in the code.
Responsibilities
- Secure development lifecycle and guardrails
- Own and mature Cleo’s SSDLC: security requirements, threat modeling, and design reviews for high-risk product changes, APIs, and integrations.
- Run and tune SAST, SCA, secrets detection, container, and IaC scanning.
- Build reusable secure patterns, reference implementations, and policy-as-code controls that make the secure path the default path.
- Own developer security enablement: Security Champions meeting, deliver the engineering security training campaigns, grow a named champion in every squad, and give developers practical remediation guidance, office hours, and self-service security capabilities.
- Product vulnerability management
- Run risk-based triage, remediation, and verification for application and product vulnerabilities, including remediation SLAs, escalation, and exceptions. Reproduce externally reported vulnerabilities against running product instances and validate patches before release.
- Own the penetration testing program: scope and coordinate third-party engagements, perform targeted testing yourself, and validate findings through retesting.
- Run our Vulnerability Disclosure Program, including researcher communications and coordinated disclosure.
- Coordinate the CVE lifecycle for Cleo products and support product-security incident response.
