Job Description
Staff Product Security Engineer at Life360 embedding security into the DevSecOps process for secure software development. Focused on protecting location data and family safety features for millions of users.
Responsibilities:
- Deploy and operationalize Cycode ASPM platform (or equivalent) as the central nervous system for application security—unifying SAST, SCA, secret scanning, container security, and IaC scanning into actionable intelligence
- Build IDE-to-cloud security pipelines that catch vulnerabilities at code-write time, eliminating 90% of findings before merge
- Create security-as-code frameworks that make the secure path the default path
- Automate vulnerability triage, deduplication, and routing to eliminate manual security toil
- Design and deploy pre-approved security patterns, libraries, and templates that enable developers to build securely without security expertise
- Establish threat modeling as a lightweight, scalable practice integrated into product planning
- Conduct security architecture reviews for high-risk features across mobile (iOS/Android), backend (Java, Python, PHP), and emerging hardware products
- Build security tooling that developers actually want to use—think Spotify's Backstage for security
- Establish SLA-driven vulnerability management workflows with clear severity definitions, ownership models, and escalation paths
- Create friction-free remediation guidance—not "fix this," but "here's the exact code change needed"
- Build metrics dashboards that translate security posture into business language executives understand
- Partner with engineering leadership to embed security accountability into team objectives
- Act as embedded security advisor to product and platform engineering teams
- Translate complex security requirements into pragmatic, implementable solutions
- Influence technical decisions at the architecture level—security considered in design, not bolted on after
Requirements:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in product security, application security, or DevSecOps roles.
- Strong experience deploying and operationalizing Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platforms, with particular emphasis on vulnerability management and findings handling.
- Deep understanding of security tooling including SAST, DAST, secret scanning, SCA (Software Composition Analysis), and container scanning tools.
- Proficiency in Python and the ability to learn new programming languages and technologies as needed (experience with Java, C, or PHP is a plus).
- Extensive experience with threat modeling and security architecture reviews, with the ability to identify design flaws and provide actionable remediation guidance.
- Strong knowledge of secure software development practices, including OWASP Top 10, secure coding principles, and secure-by-design methodologies.
- Experience building security tooling and automation to scale security practices across development teams.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks including OWASP SAMM 2.0, NIST SSDF (Secure Software Development Framework), SOC 2, and GDPR, with working knowledge of privacy considerations.
- Experience working with diverse technology stacks including mobile applications (iOS/Android), cloud infrastructure, and modern application development.
- Expert-level threat modeling—you can identify design flaws that automated tools miss.
- Security architecture experience across diverse platforms: mobile (iOS/Android SDK security), cloud (AWS/GCP), embedded systems.
- CI/CD security integration—Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, CircleCI—where you've built security into build pipelines without breaking them.
- Working knowledge of OWASP SAMM 2.0, NIST SSDF, secure coding standards.
Benefits:
- Competitive pay and benefits
- Medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance plans (100% paid for employees)
- 401(k) plan with company matching program
