The opportunity
Toast creates technology to help restaurants and local businesses succeed in a digital world, helping business owners operate, increase sales, engage customers, and keep employees happy.
What you'll do
Enable the Business to Lead with Security: Work closely with our product and engineering leaders to transform how security is built into our product portfolio, leveraging AI, automation, and innovation to enable both fast and secure capabilities to be delivered to our customers
Lead Security Platform Engineering: Own the shared services, guardrails, and secure defaults that make the safe path the easy path for every product team; consolidate overlapping tooling into a coherent, self-service set of guardrails
Drive Application & Cloud Security: Run our AppSec and CloudSec programs, secure development lifecycle, threat modeling, and software supply chain integrity; maintain a single owned view of product and cloud security posture with vulnerability SLAs met
Build Developer Enablement: Grow embedding, tooling adoption, training, and a security champions network that extends the team's reach; enable paved roads with our highest-leverage R&D teams so engineering leaders describe security as a partner rather than a blocker
Run Offensive Security & Vulnerability Management: Lead red team and penetration testing in a purple-team rhythm with detection engineering, and decide what gets fixed first; establish a working purple-team cadence with the detection function
Own Hardware Security: Extend platform security practices into hardware as part of the broader product security remit
What they're looking for
- Lead and Grow the Team: Lead the existing security engineering team, developing them and shaping how the function operates; identify and hire additional senior security engineers as scope and priorities expand
- You've run a multi-team security engineering organization, rather than a: single-team application security queue.
- Depth in cloud-native security: infrastructure as code, CI/CD pipeline security, containers, and microservices.
- You've shifted security left through self-service and paved roads, and you: can show that developer friction went down while coverage went up.
