About the Role
Securiti, now part of Veeam, builds the Data Command Center for data security, privacy, governance, and AI security. We are looking for a Staff Security Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership across product and application security. You will shape secure architecture, strengthen the SDLC, lead vulnerability response, and help engineering teams ship secure cloud and AI capabilities at scale.
This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone who can move comfortably from threat models and pull requests to exploit validation, cloud security, software supply chain risk, and customer or auditor discussions.
What You’ll Do
Product & application security
- Own and evolve the secure SDLC across the Securiti portfolio, including threat modeling, design reviews, secure code review, and security testing.
- Provide security leadership for AI capabilities, including LLM-powered features, agents, copilots, prompt injection, retrieval leakage, permissions, and model supply chain risks.
- Tune and improve SAST, dependency, secrets, container, infrastructure, and SBOM controls so findings are actionable and integrated into engineering workflows.
- Lead product vulnerability response from reproduction and severity assessment through remediation, coordinated disclosure, CVE handling, and customer advisories.
- Perform targeted penetration testing and security research across applications, APIs, agents, connectors, and cloud services; scope and validate third-party testing.
- Strengthen software supply chain security through SBOMs, signed and reproducible builds, dependency governance, and secure release practices.
- Build reusable security libraries, reference implementations, hardening guidance, and developer enablement; help scale security through a Security Champions program.
- Track and communicate meaningful security metrics, including remediation time, critical/high findings, scan coverage, and engineering adoption.
Product compliance & assurance
- Partner with engineering on technical controls and evidence supporting SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001/27701, ISO/IEC 42001, HIPAA, PCI, and FedRAMP Moderate readiness.
- Translate applicable requirements such as GDPR, CCPA, the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 into practical engineering requirements and release criteria.
- Validate remediation of audit and penetration-test findings and escalate material risks when needed.
- Serve as a technical security partner for customer due diligence, audits, security questionnaires, AI-risk reviews, and executive briefings.
Technical leadership
- Work across Engineering, Product, Platform, SRE, and Veeam Corporate Security to make security risk visible in architecture and roadmap decisions.
- Influence engineering standards and security strategy without relying on direct authority.
- Represent Securiti in technical discussions with customers, auditors, standards bodies, and the security research community.
What You’ll Bring
- 8+ years in security, with substantial experience in application or product security for SaaS or cloud-native platforms.
- Strong coding and code-review skills in one or more languages such as Go, Python, Java, or TypeScript, with the ability to validate vulnerabilities and build security tooling.
- Deep knowledge of multi-tenant cloud security across AWS, Azure, or GCP, including IAM, Kubernetes, secrets, tenant isolation, and protection of sensitive customer data.
- Hands-on experience securing LLM-powered applications, including prompt injection, retrieval leakage, agent authorization, and model supply chain risks.
- Demonstrated experience building or materially improving a secure SDLC across multiple engineering teams.
- Experience leading vulnerability response or coordinated disclosure, including severity assessment, CVE processes, remediation, and customer communications.
- Practical knowledge of software supply chain security, including SBOM, signing, SLSA, and SSDF concepts.
- Working experience with security assurance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical risk clearly to engineers, executives, auditors, and customers.
- A computer science or engineering degree, or equivalent practical experience.
Bonus Skills
- Experience with DSPM, privacy engineering, data governance, CASB, DLP, or other platforms handling highly sensitive customer data.
- Experience supporting FedRAMP Moderate or ISO/IEC 42001 for a SaaS platform.
- Familiarity with OWASP guidance for LLM applications, NIST AI RMF, and privacy-by-design principles.
- Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CSSLP, OSCP/OSWE, CCSP, or GIAC.
- Published security research, CVE credits, conference presentations, or open-source security tooling.
- Experience collaborating across US and Asian time zones.
What you'll get
- Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays including 4 global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
- Paid parental leave: 8 weeks for all parents, 16 weeks for birthing parents
