You will join a team managing the lifecycle of infrastructure and security, enhancing IBM's cloud solutions to ensure enterprises achieve efficiency, security, and scalability in their cloud journey.

Your Role And Responsibilities

We are looking for a senior-level Product Security Engineer to help scale our software supply chain and application security functions, providing innovative solutions across the HashiCorp suite of industry-leading products available as cloud, self-managed, and community offerings.

At HashiCorp, we're on a mission to enable organizations to provision, secure, connect, and run any infrastructure for any application. Our security team plays a critical role in this mission by ensuring the security and integrity of our products throughout their lifecycle.

Security at HashiCorp is largely a remote team. While prior experience working remotely isn't required, we are looking for team members who perform well given a high level of independence and autonomy while also collaborating effectively across engineering, product, and security teams.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Include

• Contribute to solutions that secure the software supply chain for HashiCorp products, across our cloud, self-managed, and community product portfolio.
• Monitor supply chain security threats and vulnerabilities impacting HashiCorp products and services, develop mitigations, and assess/communicate associated risks to stakeholders.
• Serve as subject matter expert (SME) on multiple supply chain and application security areas (e.g., ASPM, SCA, SAST, DAST, container security, etc.)
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of security solutions across the product life-cycle, such as standalone security tools, CI/CD pipeline integrations, and vulnerability management systems.
• Research emerging supply chain attack vectors and techniques, helping identify potential threats to HashiCorp's products.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement security standards and participate in secure code reviews.

The product security supply chain and application security team is composed of security engineers working to ensure HashiCorp delivers secure software to its customers. We provide tools and services that support product engineering teams at HashiCorp, embedding security into the development processes. We are primarily responsible for security scanning, secure code review, application security posture management, and contributing to vulnerability management across our entire product portfolio.

This Role Offers Opportunities To

• Work with and learn from experienced security engineers.
• Develop technical expertise across HashiCorp's diverse product portfolio.
• Build relationships with industry peers and contribute to the broader security community.
• Drive initiatives that have significant impact on product security.

We're looking for a candidate with strong written and verbal communication skills, knowledge of supply chain and application security topics, who brings a pragmatic approach to security, and has the ability to empathize with engineers and product managers across the company.

Please note, as communication is a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate. In your cover letter, describe why you're interested in working at HashiCorp, and what draws you to this role in particular.
