• Working with business team and customers to define/clarify requirements

• Evaluating and proposing technology choices

Product & Platform Security

• Drive secure-by-default configurations acrosscompute, storage, networking, and platform services.

• Own the security roadmap for the platform, ensuring alignment with industry standards (NIST, CIS, FIPS, etc.).

• Oversee vulnerability management, secure boot, runtime integrity measures, API security, and cryptographic services.

• Partner with product, engineering, and QA teams to embed security throughout SDLC (shiftleft security).

Technical Leadership

• Serve as the top technical expert and advisor for product security across cloud, containerization, virtualization, and realtime/edge systems.

• Mentor senior engineers and influence engineering directors and executives on cybersecurity tradeoffs and priorities.

• Represent the organization in security reviews, customer briefings, escalations, and cross-functional technical committees.

Security Operations & Compliance

• Guidesecuredeployment patterns and operational security practices for private cloud customers.

• Support incident investigation, rootcause analysis, and remediation for platform-level vulnerabilities.

• Define and enforce policies for SBOM, supply chain integrity, CI/CD security, and secure artifact distribution.

Collaboration & Influence

• Collaborate with teams acrossWindRiver Studio ecosystem (edge platform, analytics,DevSecOpstooling).

• Represent Wind River instandardsbodies and industry working groups (ETSI, CNCF, Linux Foundation, etc.).

• Partner with customer engineering teams on secure deployment architectures for telecom and missioncritical environments.

Required Qualifications

• 15+ years in cloud/platform engineering, embedded systems, or cybersecurity with deep architectural ownership.
