Product Security Engineer

Who you are

You have a strong background in security engineering, with experience in developing self-service security frameworks that empower engineering teams to ship secure code by default.

Your expertise in OWASP principles allows you to effectively prioritize security measures that align with business needs.

You are a collaborative partner who enjoys working closely with product and engineering teams to review designs early in the development process. You contribute to threat modeling for new features and complex initiatives, providing clear and actionable security guidance that helps teams navigate potential risks. Your research skills keep you informed about emerging threats and evolving best practices, particularly in the context of AI and LLM safety.

You have a proactive approach to managing and evolving security practices, including overseeing external penetration testing to ensure the robustness of Airtable's security posture. Your ability to communicate complex security concepts in an understandable manner makes you a valuable asset to cross-functional teams.
