  • Ability to remain a hands-on threat modeling practitioner while providing principal-level technical leadership.
Desired Skills & Experience
  • Deep knowledge of secure application architecture, STRIDE or similar threat modeling methodologies, OWASP risks, API security, authentication, authorization, cryptography, and data protection.
  • Programming experience with technologies such as Java, .NET, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, or Go.
  • Cloud and platform security experience across Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform, including CI/CD and modern distributed or microservices architectures.
  • Experience with security tooling such as SAST, SCA, DAST, IaC scanning, container security, API testing, or software supply chain controls.
  • Knowledge of AI/LLM security risks, guardrails, data protection, model or agent trust boundaries, evaluation, and human review.
  • Experience defining reusable security standards, patterns, playbooks, reference architectures, or controls.
  • CISSP, CSSLP, CCSP, GIAC GWEB, GIAC GWAPT, or comparable security certification preferred.
What You Will Be Doing
  • Serve as the principal technical authority for threat modeling methodology, tooling, automation, and quality.
  • Conduct approximately one complex or high-risk threat model per sprint and recommend practical mitigations.
  • Build reusable threat patterns, architecture templates, control mappings, reference architectures, and playbooks.
  • Design production-grade automation and AI/LLM-assisted capabilities that improve threat modeling throughput, consistency, and quality.
  • Advance Threat Modeling as Code, automated diagram generation, threat selection, and ongoing model maintenance.
  • Integrate threat modeling with GitHub, Jira, CI/CD pipelines, application inventories, architecture repositories, and security platforms.
  • Develop mechanisms for Continuous Threat Modeling based on architecture, code, configuration, and dependency changes.
  • Define quality and productivity metrics while mentoring security practitioners, architects, and Security Champions.
