Responsibilities
- Own complex security risk problems from assessment through escalation, treatment decisions, and remediation with minimal oversight.
- Build quantification tooling, automated intake and triage, observability, dashboards, and data pipelines for security risk management.
- Partner with Security Engineering to pressure-test architectures, prioritize remediation roadmaps, and support investment decisions.
