You Will

📍Shape Strategy and Architecture: Set the long-term vision and technical strategy for Compute, Cloud, and Network Security. Ensure architecture aligns with industry best practices for security, scalability, and resilience. 📍Be a Security Engineering Thought Leader: Act as a go-to expert in areas such as network segmentation, secure CI/CD pipelines, cloud-native controls, and workload isolation. Help teams evaluate tradeoffs and make informed decisions that reflect both security risk and business context. 📍Collaborate Across Functions to Build Shared Security Models: Partner with infrastructure, security engineering, and application teams to define secure-by-default patterns and frameworks across all environments. Foster a culture of enablement and shared responsibility. 📍Help Design and Support Secure Platforms: Oversee the design and build of secure compute and network platforms that empower developers without compromising security. Champion automation-first approaches to eliminate whole classes of risk. 📍Promote Consistency and Scale Through Shared Practices: Define and promote scalable security standards, reusable components, and best practices across Block's diverse ecosystem. Be pragmatic about what to centralize, standardize, or decentralize. 📍Partner Across Security and Risk Functions: Collaborate with Detection & Response to inform infrastructure threat detection with platform-level insights. Support Compliance and Governance teams in meeting regulatory and internal requirements, ensuring audit-ready, secure infrastructure. 📍Mentor and Elevate Engineering Talent: Provide technical mentorship across teams. Cultivate a culture of ownership, curiosity, and engineering excellence with a security-first, but not security-only, mindset.

You Have

📍Technical Leadership in Security Engineering: A proven track record of driving architectural decisions and influencing platform security direction at scale in large, complex environments. 📍Expertise Across Domains: Deep experience in at least two of the following: network security (e.g., segmentation, firewalling, transit layer protections), cloud security (e.g., GCP/AWS IAM, service boundaries), or compute security (e.g., secure build systems, hardened Kubernetes). 📍Infrastructure and Platform Fluency: Strong understanding of cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS), container orchestration, identity and access management, and service mesh patterns. 📍Modern Security Approach: Familiarity with Zero Trust architectures, principle of least privilege, layered defense strategies, and automation-based security enforcement.
