About the role
Contrast Security is the world’s leader in Runtime Application Security, embedding code analysis and attack prevention directly into software. Contrast’s patented security instrumentation disrupts traditional AppSec approaches with integrated and comprehensive security observability that delivers highly accurate assessment and continuous protection of an entire application portfolio. The Contrast Runtime Security Platform enables powerful Application Security Testing and Application Detection and Response, allowing developers, AppSec teams, and SecOps teams to better protect and defend their applications against the ever-evolving threat landscape. Application Security programs need to modernize and Contrast empowers teams to innovate with confidence.
About the PositionOur mission is to revolutionize application security.

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding and hands on-experience with most elements of the security stack and the tools in use by cyber defenders including SIEMs, SOAR solutions and TIP systems. You will work closely with our enterprise customers, field teams, and all other product teams. You will demonstrate a deep understanding of market trends and technologies, and apply this to create a strong roadmap for our innovative ADR solution.
We are looking for a highly technical candidate, a solid mix of business and organizational skills, and the ability to operate in a matrixed cross-functional environment. This is a good opportunity for candidates with a background in security operations, security protection technologies, risk management and cloud/container environments.
