Requirements
  • Strong leadership experience in engineering-driven security, you’ve successfully managed and scaled security engineering teams, preferably within a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Strong product and application security experience, with emphasis on implementing security controls in a SaaS environment—you can develop and execute a security roadmap that aligns with business goals, making sure our security practices keep pace with our growth.
  • While you won't be writing code every day, you have a deep understanding of security principles, architecture, and compliance. You’re comfortable navigating complex systems and can engage in technical discussions with your team.
  • You can translate complex security concepts into clear, actionable information for non-technical stakeholders—you're customer-centric and understand the importance of security to our customers, especially in the enterprise space.
  • You excel at working across teams, breaking down silos, and driving a security agenda that is integrated into the broader product and engineering efforts—you know how to build strong partnerships internally with Product, Engineering, Technical Customer Experience, Legal, and other teams toward security goals.
  • Ability to assess and analyze security risks comprehensively, considering both business impact and technical impact in order to prioritize risk remediation with consideration to business goals and objectives.
  • You have extensive familiarity with industry regulations (e.g., GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, Fedramp) and hands-on experience ensuring compliance, along with a deep understanding of security technologies, application security programs, common vulnerabilities like OWASP Top 10, and security tooling such as SAST, DAST, as well as other testing technologies.
  • Experience in managing security vendors, ensuring they meet our rigorous standards, and in working closely with internal and external stakeholders to drive alignment and results.
Responsibilities
  • Own the Security Roadmap: Define, communicate, and execute on a strategic vision for security at Retool, ensuring we stay ahead of evolving threats and compliance requirements.
  • Build and Lead a Team: Recruit, mentor, and manage a high-performing team of security engineers. You'll be responsible for identifying talent, defining team goals, and fostering a culture of excellence.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with product, engineering, and design teams to embed security into every aspect of our product development lifecycle.
  • Governance, Risk, Compliance: Support the team in driving our GRC efforts, working closely with Legal, IT, People, and GTM.
  • Customer Engagement: Act as the face of Retool’s security for our enterprise customers. This includes addressing customer inquiries, guiding them through our security posture, and ensuring that their specific needs are met.
  • Process Improvement: Introduce scalable, repeatable processes that enhance our ability to deliver secure, compliant, and robust software. You'll help shape how we approach security as we continue to grow.
  • Security Advocacy: Educate and empower our teams with the knowledge and tools they need to incorporate security best practices into their work, driving a security-first mindset across the organization.
