Responsibilities

You have an initial view of our current engineering security posture • After six months: security scanning runs in every pipeline, tuned so that engineers trust it and act on it • After twelve months: agentic security testing is continuously testing our applications, and security is part of how every team designs and builds • Our values aren’t just words on a wall.
