Requirements
  • Experience doing security risk assessments, co-creating risk treatment strategies, and influencing risk treatment prioritization across diverse business units (Engineering, IT, Finance, Legal, etc.)
  • Thorough understanding of cloud-native web application architectures, security threats, and security best practices, especially in the context of AWS and Kubernetes
  • Experience using data visualization tools and SQL to build and operationalize security metrics (e.g. Apache Superset, Tableau, Domo, Amazon QuickSight)
  • Experience with scalable approaches to threat modeling, secure design reviews, and risk assessment methods that balance rigor and efficiency (e.g. Mozilla’s Rapid Risk Assessment)
  • Experience with security automation and process streamlining, ideally in the context of security risk management
  • A strong bias toward evidence, logic, math, and reason when communicating risk (instead of fear, uncertainty, and doubt)
  • A strong bias toward “guardrails, not gates” and “paved security roads” philosophies (instead of rigid “centralized command-and-control” thinking)
  • Excellent ability to plan, prioritize, and deliver results cross-functionally and in a timely fashion
  • Proficiency discussing complex, nuanced topics with technical & non-technical audiences alike, especially software engineering teams
  • Strong alignment with Klaviyo’s core values
Responsibilities
  • Lead and execute new Risk program maturity projects that introduce more rigorous, streamlined, and automated approaches to risk management
  • Partner with other departments and teams to drive mutual understanding of security risks they own and how to prioritize managing those risks in support of Klaviyo’s goals
  • Create, tune, and operationalize business relevant security metrics (KPIs, KRIs, KCIs) that demonstrably improve security outcomes across Klaviyo
  • Review new products, product features, and internal business projects to guide teams toward secure paths forward and away from accruing new security debt
  • Collaboratively define and enable teams about security policies and standards that clearly establish Klaviyo’s risk tolerance bar
