The posting

Product Security Engineer

Overview

SailPoint’s Cybersecurity organization is seeking a Product Security Engineer with a passion for cybersecurity and protecting the organization. The ideal candidate combines strong application security expertise with practical software engineering experience and can effectively influence to build secure, resilient products at scale. This position reports to the Director of Cyber Product Security (CPS) and the successful candidate will join a team of security engineers who collaborate with stakeholders across the organization. This role will partner closely with Engineering and the other security teams within the Cyber organization to identify security risks, drive remediation efforts, and embed security throughout the product development process.

Central to SailPoint’s product security program is the implementation of a shared security model that impacts all software developed by SailPoint. Under this model, CPS is responsible for multiple key areas affecting product security and collaborates with SailPoint's Engineering Product Security (EPS) team on areas of mutual responsibility. The shared responsibility model was developed to shift product security left, moving security checks to the earliest phases of our secure software development lifecycle.

The product security engineer will have the opportunity to shape our future through process and technology optimization, capability acquisition and development, and maturation of our existing activities. They’ll already be comfortable with the 4 I’s at SailPoint (individual, Impact, Innovation, and Integrity) even if they’re new to the concept. They will embrace new challenges and will be a positive contributor to an already positive work culture and environment.

Location is remote with the ability to work from anywhere within the continental United States.

Key Responsibilities

  • Partner with Engineering teams throughout the software development lifecycle to identify and mitigate security risks, and implement secure deployment practices
  • Support threat modeling activities and help engineering teams implement appropriate security controls
  • Define and promote secure coding standards, security policies, best practices, and secure-by-design principles
  • Participate in the Cyber organization’s efforts to leverage AI across the team, as well as the use of AI in our SSDLC
  • Partner with Engineering on improving security testing programs
  • Coordinate internal and external application and penetration testing initiatives
  • Validate vulnerability findings and prioritize remediation based on risk
  • Perform root cause analysis and recommend long-term security improvements
  • Collaborate with the Security Operations team on security monitoring and detection capabilities for applications and services
  • Triage, coordinate, and oversee remediation for security researcher disclosures via our bug bounty program
  • Develop security training, guidance, and technical documentation
  • Interact with other organizations at SailPoint as a consultant on security-related matters

Required Qualifications

Successful candidate will meet most, if not all of the following requirements:

  • 4-5 years of experience in product security, application security, software engineering, or a related field
  • Experience with security testing tools such as: SAST, SCA, DAST, Container security scanners
  • Experience with CI/CD security controls and DevSecOps practices
  • Familiarity with one or more programming languages such as Python, Go, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Ruby
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively use AI-powered tools and automation to enhance security engineering productivity, research, analysis, and remediation efforts
  • Knowledge of emerging AI security risks and best practices for securing AI-enabled applications, services, and development workflows
  • Deep expertise in threat modeling, secure architecture design, and vulnerability management
  • Experience influencing engineering organizations and driving security initiatives across multiple teams
  • Knowledge of artificial intelligence software security frameworks is strongly preferred, including OWASP AI Security and Privacy Guide, NIST AI Risk Management Framework, Cybersecurity AI (CAI), Open SSF AI/ML Security Framework.

Core Competencies

The successful candidate will:

  • Be a highly active observer of industry security trends and threats, remaining up to date on current cyber issues
  • Have a continuous learning mindset and passion for security
  • Have strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Be flexible, with the ability to balance security vs the needs of the business
  • Have excellent written and oral communications skills with demonstrated commitment to producing high quality documentation
  • Be able to translate technical risks into business impact
  • Be collaborative and able to foster relationships with teams we partner with

First 90 Days: Discovery, Strategic Alignment, and Partnership

  • Strategic Alignment & Planning Integration: Deepen collaboration with key engineering and tooling leads by Day 90, reinforcing recurring touchpoints to integrate product security proactively into early planning cycles, roadmaps, and feature designs.
  • SDLC Optimization Assessment: Review the end-to-end Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) by Day 60 to identify enhancement opportunities, accelerate "shift-left" practices, and further standardize secure-by-design deployment pipelines.
  • Asset & Dependency Inventory: Refine and centralize the inventory of supported products, underlying architecture, and third-party dependencies by Day 90 to deliver a highly visible, comprehensive single source of truth.

First 6 Months: Advanced Tooling, Training, and Scalable Frameworks

  • Modernizing Tool Stack & AI Integration: Evaluate the current security tooling and implement state-of-the-art AI-assisted scanning across product code to further automate and scale security workflows.
  • Optimized Remediation & Board Metrics: Formalize a highly scalable, risk-based vulnerability prioritization framework, optimizing Time to Remediate (TTR) metrics to provide clear, actionable risk visibility for executive leadership and the Board.
  • Security Champions & Developer Empowerment: Elevate developer security education and revamp "Security Champions" program by Day 180, embedding security advocates across core product lines to champion secure development practices.

First 12 Months: Systemic Security Advancements and "Paved Roads"

  • Systemic Architecture Enhancements: Conduct comprehensive reviews of the production environment (including Kubernetes and containerized applications) to systematically address complex architectural security opportunities and build long-term environment resilience.
  • Standardizing "Paved Road" Configurations: Define, document, and roll out standardized, secure "paved road" configurations and guardrails, making secure deployment the friction-free path of least resistance for product teams.
  • Program Scaling & Mentorship: Maintain and scale updated product architecture documentation while continuously elevating team capabilities, autonomy, and cross-functional alignment through active, hands-on mentorship.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
