Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Security roles in SaaS increasingly sit inside the product organisation rather than operating as a separate audit function, and this Staff Product Security Engineer position reflects that shift. The remit spans application and infrastructure security, with explicit touchpoints across architecture reviews, threat modelling, and SDLC integration—work that is central to how subscription software earns and keeps customer trust over time.
From a SaaS career perspective, the role offers breadth that translates well across modern product-led companies: building scalable vulnerability management, shaping secure CI/CD practices, and influencing cloud and IaC decisions. Exposure to compliance and incident response also builds a pragmatic understanding of how security commitments are maintained in live services, where releases are continuous and risk management is ongoing rather than periodic.
This role suits a senior security engineer who prefers influence-through-collaboration, pairing deep technical judgement with the ability to communicate across technical and non-technical groups. It also aligns with someone motivated by program improvement—turning good security intentions into repeatable mechanisms—while staying close enough to engineering to propose and evaluate tooling, including the secure use of AI internally.
