Do you thrive on staying ahead of emerging application and product security threats? Are you the kind of person who can see both the details in a code review and the big picture of how to scale secure development across dozens of engineering teams? If so, this role is for you. We’re looking for a Director, Product Security to lead Bonterra’s product security program — ensuring the safety, resilience, and trustworthiness of our SaaS platforms

What You’ll Do

• Report directly to the CISO and own the Product Security program across Bonterra’s SaaS portfolio.

• pipelines, to production monitoring.

• Partner closely with R&D, Product, M&A, and IT leaders to embed security into product decisions, integrations, and 

• innovation initiatives.

• Build and scale security programs through automation, tooling, and training — not just headcount.

• Define and execute a multi-year roadmap for Product Security that addresses gaps in coverage, staffing, and 

• capabilities as Bonterra grows.

• Oversee vulnerability management across applications: review findings (SAST, DAST, SCA, penetration tests, bug 

• bounty), assess risk, and drive remediation with engineering partners.

• Lead activities such as:

  • Threat modeling and design reviews

  • Third-party / M&A product security assessments

  • Secure code review and testing

  • Secure open-source and third-party component lifecycle management

  • Centralized tracking, prioritization, and metrics reporting

• Develop meaningful, quantitative metrics that demonstrate product security health, progress, and business value.

• Identify systemic classes of vulnerabilities, design scalable defenses, and evangelize secure coding and product patterns across engineering.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of experience in software development or engineering roles, including 2–3 years in a leadership role. 

• Proficiency in at least one major language (C#, Java, Python, Ruby, etc.).

• 5–7 years of experience in application/product security with emphasis on secure software development, code 

• analysis, and vulnerability management.

• Strong knowledge of secure design principles (e.g., threat modeling, least privilege, cryptography) and common software vulnerabilities (e.g., CWE Top 25, OWASP Top 10).

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate complex technical topics for both engineers and executives.

• Demonstrated ability to make pragmatic risk-based decisions and prioritize effectively in a fast-moving environment.

What Sets You Apart

• Experience securing cloud-native applications (AWS, Azure, GCP).

• Experience embedding security in M&A due diligence and product integrations.

• Track record of scaling security programs through automation, developer tooling, and guardrails.

• Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks (NIST, ISO, SOC 2, PCI DSS, CIS Controls).

• Experience influencing product roadmaps, customer assurance, and security-as-a-feature discussions
