Position Overview
The Staff Product Security Engineer is a senior technical leader responsible for defining and driving the security strategy, architecture, and engineering practices across Entrust's cryptographic product portfolio. This role provides technical leadership beyond individual products, influencing security decisions across multiple engineering teams and ensuring security is embedded throughout the entire product lifecycle.
The Staff Product Security Engineer serves as a recognized security subject matter expert, partnering with product management, engineering leadership, certification teams, and executive stakeholders to establish security roadmaps, enhance security capabilities, and address emerging threats. This role combines deep technical expertise in software, hardware, and cryptographic security with strong leadership and mentoring capabilities.
You will lead complex security initiatives, establish engineering standards, drive security architecture reviews, and guide teams in adopting secure-by-design principles. You will also represent security engineering in customer engagements, security audits, certification activities, and interactions with external security researchers and industry experts.
A strong background in mathematics, engineering, computer science, or information security is essential. The successful candidate will demonstrate a proven ability to influence technical direction, solve highly complex security challenges, and drive security excellence across the organization.
