You’ll Solve: • Eliminating manual bottlenecks through code-driven guardrails and frictionless developer experiences. • Securing complex production systems and multi-tenant AI architectures in cloud-native production environments, with a focus on model integrity, training data provenance, data exfiltration prevention, and minimizing unique risks associated with Large Language Models (LLMs), by applying specific AI threat models. • Operationalizing Red/Purple Team exercises, penetration testing, and the Bug Bounty program to ensure a continuous feedback loop that drives proactive risk reduction. You’ll Impact: • Support a culture where security is embedded into the foundation of engineering • Turn security into a strategic product advantage and customer trust differentiator • Improve developer experience by making the secure path the easiest path • Increase engineering velocity while strengthening platform resilience • Shape the future intersection of Security, AI, and Platform Engineering • Create scalable systems, processes, and relationships that grow with the company’s innovation pace How You’ll Succeed Here: • An Experienced Leader: 10+ years in Security/Software Engineering with a track record of scaling departments in high-growth R&D environments. • A Technical Architect: Deep expertise in AWS/Kubernetes and modern platform security practices, Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/Crossplane), and secure coding (Java/Python/TypeScript). • A Systems Thinker: You have a proven track of building security machines from the ground up, with a people-first mindset, technology, and process. • Your work ensures that as Gong defines the future of AI-driven revenue, we do so on the most secure and resilient platform in the industry, building customer trust and promoting responsible AI adoption.
