Position Summary

• Take feedback from customers and work with product/engineering to develop our product feature roadmap

• Use your security expertise to provide input to product and engineering on potential new features, prototypes, etc.

• Support our Program Managers (Customer Success Managers) and other parts of the organization by handling escalations that require technical and security expertise
