Senior Security Partner, Application Security

Job Description

Netflix has a unique and creative culture that guides us to do things differently. This helps keep engineering velocity high, but also means that our security team needs to operate differently than a traditional security team. The two aspects of the culture that most affect how the security team operates are ''Freedom and Responsibility'' and ''Context not Control''. Employees have tremendous freedom in their work, along with the corresponding responsibility to do the right thing for Netflix. Instead of controlling engineers with process and security gates, we enable them to build secure code and provide them with adequate security context to make the right decisions for Netflix.

The Application Security (Appsec) organization at Netflix helps secure internally built systems and applications that run the Netflix business and the streaming product. We aren't your typical Appsec team because we focus our efforts on scalable investments in both our engineering and partnership services. The Appsec Partnerships team is the part of this organization that builds close partnerships with key areas in our engineering ecosystem to identify and drive high impact security initiatives (e.g.: Secure by Default in Developer Productivity tools, Secure Application Gateway for all workforce apps). We rely heavily on Paved Road adoption and security scanning services to scale security for the broader engineering ecosystem

We are looking for security engineers to join our Appsec Partnerships team to help identify and drive high leverage security solutions and improve the security of the Netflix engineering ecosystem. You will partner closely with various engineering teams and focus on systemic security improvements and risk reduction. You will also leverage your security skills to support the Netflix bug bounty program, participate in our product security incident response efforts and other operational appsec responsibilities.

Desired background:
• You have experience with threat modeling, security design reviews, and security architecture.
• You have excellent written and verbal communication skills and are able to translate security objectives to engineering team asks.
• You have experience partnering with cross-functional teams to deliver widely impactful security initiatives.
• You demonstrate excellent judgement in prioritizing security efforts to mitigate the appropriate risks

Finally, here's a few more reasons why we love this work and think that you will too:
• You will have the opportunity to facilitate impactful security work for the Netflix engineering ecosystem.
• You will work with an industry leading security team with many opportunities to reduce risks in existing projects and identify new ones.
• You will have the opportunity to research new ideas and share your ideas across the community.
• You will work closely with domain experts in diverse areas such as microservices architecture, big data, compute platforms and content delivery networks.

We are looking for thoughtful security professionals who enable our mission and support our culture of freedom and responsibility. You can learn more about life at Netflix by watching our security talks or exploring our open source work.
