Why This Role The Lead Product Security Engineer is our first dedicated product-security hire and plays a vital role in designing, building, and embedding security into how we build software at OrbitronAI. You will tackle complex product-security problems in a technically and regulatory challenging environment — autonomous AI agents operating in regulated industries — and build the product-security function from the ground up. You will work hand-in-hand with engineering, partnering with developers to shift security left rather than managing a team on day one. You will be an evangelist for secure-by-design and promote the right security behaviours across the organisation. The main focus areas for this role include: Application & API security — secure design, secure code review, threat modeling, OWASP Secure SDLC — embedding SAST/DAST/SCA and security gates into the CI/CD pipeline AI / autonomous-agent security — prompt injection, excessive agency, tool/permission abuse, data exfiltration, runtime guardrails, agent observability Cloud & supply-chain security on GCP — IAM/workload identity, secrets, artifact integrity Penetration testing, vulnerability investigations, security reviews and audits Translating ISO 27001 / SOC 2 / GDPR / NIST into engineering controls and evidence Internal and external communication of security practices, and (with DevOps/IT) incident response Requirements Hands-on technical leader who gets her/his hands dirty in code and design. A strong technical background in application & API security, secure SDLC, threat modeling, and OWASP, with working knowledge of vulnerability management, incident response, and penetration testing (external/internal). Familiarity with SIEM/EDR concepts is useful but not the core of this role. Advanced knowledge of cloud security on GCP (IAM, workload identity, secrets management, CSPM), plus container and CI/CD pipeline security, and familiarity working in Agile environments. Experience with — or a strong appetite to own — AI/LLM and autonomous-agent security. This is core to the role: our product is autonomous agents executing real work in regulated environments. Emotional intelligence and the ability to build trust with engineers and influence without authority, while managing the needs and expectations of internal and external (customer) stakeholders. Experience with Red/Blue teaming and database security a plus. Strongly preferred You have built or stood up a product-security function from scratch. Qualifications BE/MS/PhD in computer science, security, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on experience. 10+ years of security experience showing progression through roles of increasing responsibility. Current industry certifications a plus (e.g. CISSP, CISM, OSCP) — valued, but not a substitute for demonstrated hands-on capability. Strong technical leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills.
