You will monitor security alerts, lead investigations, and guide engineering teams on improvements. You will also own and enhance our SAST, DAST, SCA, and vulnerability scanning tools and workflows as related to Aprimo's defense-in-depth strategy. Working across a diverse tech stack (.NET, React, Angular, PowerShell, Elasticsearch, Redis, and more), you will deliver practical mitigation strategies that strengthen security while supporting frequent customer value delivery.

This co-located security engineering role is part of a global organization reporting to the CISO. We operate in an agile, collaborative environment that values innovation, continuous improvement, defense in depth and strong employee experience.
